A 5.1 earthquake is rather weak. This would likely not have damaged an NPP near there.
There is a bunch of software in this space like supabase, flat backend, and appwrite that attempts to be a generic self hosted backend for apps in a manner similar to firebase by providing data storage and authentication with a rest API in an integrated fashion, usually with a built in admin interface for schema design, user management, etc.

You can also think of them as software like postgrest but with the addition of authentication and other app oriented features, and with a JavaScript client library out if the box.

This program is doing the same thing in a more lightweight way as a single executable using sqlite.

The idea is that by using this type of generic backend software for your database and authentication, you can basically just write the remainder of a typical app or webapp entirely as client side/frontend software, which is something that you can also do with firebase, but this allows you to easily self host it without having to create your own custom backend software.
If only we could say the same about the quality of road surfaces and traffic.

Way too much corruption to afford us good roads at a good price. National state roadway construction entities run at huge 'losses' and 'debt' with the money presumably siphoned away for the benefit of the party in power.
I think most of the time unsupervised children will be fine online. Sometimes they will get hurt, and perhaps very seriously hurt, by being unsupervised online.

Supervising your kid online is like putting them in a car seat even though you're unlikely to get in a crash. It's appropriate when they're young and becomes inappropriate as they get older.

Wow unrestricted internet access at 13? I guess I’m an overprotective parent now because I would try to avoid it long after that.

Not that I use the MPAA as any sort of authority on parenting but rated R movies are typically prohibited by unaccompanied kids under 18. The internet is way worse than any rated r movie. It’s rated XXX to use the MPAA’s metric.

There are a lot of very good, enjoyable games on Roblox. Bloxburg and Bee Swarm Simulator are two fun ones. There are also lots of horrible games on Roblox. Much like all the mobile app stores, you have to look hard and talk to friends to find good stuff.

Ability to accept payments is a feature, but no one would say Stripe wasn't a startup that's now grown into a large company.

Meshtastic can carry a bit more data per packet -- 200-ish bytes, IIRC -- but the same duty cycle/dwell time constraints apply.

The routing model also makes it hard to add more than a few dozen nodes to a mesh. For small groups over wide distances that's absolutely fine, but it isn't a great option if you want to connect large numbers of _people_, unless said people are clustered around a few devices sharing WiFi or BLE connection time. (Meshtastic also doesn't really support this use case b/c of a "one device == one user/identity/mailbox" model, but that's an application-level choice, not something imposed by the underlying network.)

But any and all technology can (and will) be militarized. Do you similarly forego working on anything touching encryption? Radios? CPUs? Machine vision? Simulations? Weather? GPS? Automobiles? Flight? Chemistry? Where do you draw the line? Tool usage has always been a, um, double-edged sword... humans will be humans.

Targeted drone strikes are at least somewhat less brutal than WW1-style trench combat or hand-to-hand melee combat with swords and spears. Wars in general are getting more precise, with fewer fatalities, over time (https://ourworldindata.org/war-and-peace). For all this talk of killer robots, the Rwandan genocide killed more with machetes than our drones.

Is it necessarily a bad thing that we're replacing boots on the ground with robots in the air? Eventually, one would assume, our opponents would catch up as well, and maybe at some point in the future, battles will be more drone-vs-drone than fighter pilots dogfighting it out. Our killer robots against theirs.

Maybe wars are getting more high-tech, but if their body counts are lowering, isn't that a good thing?
There was somebody on here (I think) in a launchers thread who said they use win+r for launching everything. It really makes a lot of sense. There's the obvious calc, cmd, iexplore (oops) but there's also putting whatever scripts you want in your path, and then skipping the start menu forever.

I said it would be detrimental to the bacteria’s health not the persons.

Not brushing would be bad for a persons health, and this would still be true after treatment with modified bacteria.
The SerenityOS browser has tabs (they're hidden when only one tab is open). Ladybird doesn't seem to have them yet (considering it also doesn't have all the other buttons), but I should imagine it's something that would be added.
Back in the day I managed a small office server, backing up via a particularly slow ADSL line. It took about a week to do the initial sync, so I just let it run and in the meantime backed up to an external disk every couple of days.

Once it was up and running most snapshots took a few minutes to sync, always finished before the morning anyway.

Definite +1 to rsync.net, this was >15 years ago but it was always 100% solid, I don't think I ever had any issues. It's nice to see they're still doing the same thing and haven't bloated it with crap!
There’s literally no point asking abstract questions about such abstract definitions.

Yes. Eyetracking is rather useless as what we see depends on the task we have to perform. We filter out what we don't need and don't even register it consciously. As such, general eye tracking studies can only tell you so much... Case in point: dancing gorilla awareness test, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJG698U2Mvo.

And that’s -only- the red blood cells. Consider how that’s only a tiny portion of your body. Think of all the other cells everywhere else. Constantly dying and being born. Isn’t it every 7 years or so that pretty much every cell in our body’s rotated out?
I don't know if the comparison really applies. In the real world, children can look out for each other, adults in the community can keep an eye. Sure, parks and things will be targets for sickos, but online games like roblox or social media like discord basically have giant billboards on them. There's no real way to police the behavior online like there is in real life.
If some algorithm says crime is more likely to happen in neighborhoods ABC and XYZ, and therefore put more police there, doesn't seem like a problem. I would prefer more police everywhere given the crime rates. But I'm someone who likes to be safe, YMMV

This is why I will only purchase things I can actually keep, like CDs, DVDs, paper books and so on. It seems old fashioned, until you have a few "purchases" wiped out by some policy change out of your control.

Maybe this is a dumb observation, but I have had insane, incredible pain taking any third party phone to a US cellphone carrier and getting anything beyond basic VoLTE calling. Getting the SIM is no problem. Having the network provisioned to support phone features like wifi calling, ugh.

It basically makes buying phones like this completely unattractive.

To be honest, there is a lot of this on HN. These are intelligent people. It really baffles me. "Yeah, we have a lot of evidence that the US form of government survived this time only due to a chain of extremely fortunate events, and the VP and some senators got nearly executed, but you are missing the bigger picture of history, stop freaking out". They said - without a hint of irony.
What happens when FB builds a shadow instagram profile of you based on your FB account? That already happens. FB clones their own data for other projects no different than what you might fear happening if this data were cloned to a third party.

Editorializing titles has become completely standard and I rarely see them fixed anymore despite the comments. Of course others also post editorialized titles when they see it happening daily on the front page.
No politics? My fyp highly disagrees. However, the algorithm is amazingly good at keeping you in your political in-group.

You'll often hear content creators talk about "getting on the wrong side of TikTok" - meaning they started getting recommended to an out-group. (For example super cool super funny @melissadilkoateras ending up in MAGA feeds occasionally).

Cue brigading of reports, community violations, etc until the audience stabilizes.

I think the reputation is due to the zealous take down policy and the solid profiling that keeps you in your comfortable content window.

“My car can go 450 miles per hour 0-60 in 1.7 seconds”

Well cool story bro but the speed limit is still 65. LoRa is an amazing technology for exactly what you describe but festivals are basically “I have very little line of sight but a fuckton of devices.”

This leads to two different solutions, high bandwidth short wave communication bouncing between everyone, and putting towers above everyone which is what cell companies do. Ground to ground LoRa is neat but not necessarily better.
I'm not sure if this is 100% serious but if it is, how could the FBI having a backdoor into every messaging app fit in with the relative ineffectiveness of the FBI?[0] If they truly did have the ability to spy on any messaging app without issue then you would expect them to have far more success than they actually do. For comparison, a quick Google search says China has a 99.9% conviction rate. Remember security and intelligence agencies also want people to think they are some omnipotent and omniscient entity that you cannot escape from, even though we know this is far from true[1][2].

The better GY!BE album for working/studying is Luciferian Towers.
My thought: online games which children are playing, especially ~13 and younger, should NEVER have text chat typed on a keyboard. They should only allow symbolic communication like "emotes" and symbols, abstract and basic stuff. Moderation teams can not possibly ever keep up with the "arms race" of determined scammers and exploitative individuals. Just eliminate the entire class of problems upfront at the design stage. Save your company tons of money, too, both in staffing and in legal settlements.
> I'm against repeating the mistakes my grandparents made, in all their ignorance.

You’re making the exact same mistake by rejecting today’s an attainable but imperfect solution in favor of an unattainably perfect one.

The end result is that we waste another few decades spewing pollution into the air.
The speed forced disengagement bit is wrong. Autopilot will disable if you exceed its speed limit, but it does not count against the FSD beta 5 strikes.
That's fair. Maybe it's because I only qualify "after" with "only" if I'm making some point.
Yes. I've seen it too often be the case that an appropriate layering or abstraction is derided as too much complexity, and that you should replace it with straight calls into the dependency. The former is often a strength, not a weakness!
> Dmix is explicitly not a sound server, it is a plugin implemented in the alsa library that does "cooperative" mixing of the sound in an shm region. Adding all those other features and turning it into a daemon is a rather roundabout way to re-implement pulseaudio.

I don't understand the purpose of this semantics discussion. I was just trying to say that dmix was very alive and growing, and for a time it even was going to be the replacement of the mostly-useless DE-specific sound servers, which are the reason many were abandoned. Whether you want to call it a sound server or not is irrelevant since it fulfilled the same role and had the same features as other sound servers of the era.

> Right, but an application can still submit a large buffer that then needs to get muxed down. Pipewire has to account for this possibly by emulating that rewind inside the daemon.

The point was that Pipewire didn't follow this Pulseaudio-specific design which actually was one of the primary technical improvements in Pulseaudio and at the same time the major cause of incompatibilities.

> I think you have missed this emphasized part

No, I have not missed this emphasized part. The point was that Lennart himself said that most programs should not target the PA API. Unless you are going to claim that gstreamer itself is "most programs" , my point still stands: Lennart himself said that most programs should not target the PA API.

> That article was written in 2008, things changed since then.

Actually, not much has changed since then in either ALSA or PA APIs. Everyone (including Lennart) _still_ recommends you target the ALSA API directly.

But, anyway, the point was to show that even despite the recommendation of the author of one of the APIs not to use it at the time, everyone used it anyway, further complicating the mess, and resulting in PW having to implement the PA API for a smooth transition.

If only stuff like gst had used the PA API, PW could have just shipped a gst module and called it a day. There would have been absolutely no reason to implement the PA API at all. Well, other than the gnome mixer program.
You're missing an important caveat of your own argumentation; if you believe in Liberalism you must by extension have some skepticism concerning the ability of authoritarian states to, "keep up" with freer states in terms of innovation and cultural robustness. Otherwise you're arguing for an arbitrary terminal struggle between competing world cultures. (try reading history). You're basically scared by the current war in Ukraine and are willing to take on an ugly foreign policy position to feel safe.

It's going to be a bunch of software developers wearing t-shirts and shorts that eventually bring us to nuclear war. You know, "to keep their daughters safe."

Because it’s entirely common to use articulate cutoffs. It’s considered a felony to have sex with a 17 year old boy on his eve preceding his birthday but it’s A-ok the next morning.

A think is wrong one night and because fine the next morning. It’s kind of like the Ship of Theseus.
The ones I know have day jobs but many are students and contribute out of a combination of passion and a desire to learn. Often the emulator work is put to pasture when they leverage it to get hired unfortunately.
Reticulum also needs a general-purpose computer -- RPi, laptop, etc. -- that can run the Python daemon that actually handles network traffic.

Meshtastic doesn't use or provide a TCP/IP stack (aside from a limited TUN interface wrapper which is really more of a proof-of-concept) but any device that can connect to a node using WiFi, BLE, or USB serial can use the network.
Wow, this is super interesting, thanks for sharing.

> keeping the wolves at bay is parenting job #1. Get them to maturity whole, healthy, intact, and self-sufficient.

Keeping the wolves at bay is an impossible task. Reducing the exposure to the wolves, educating on recognizing the wolves, and mitigating the negative consequences of the wolves is a far more viable set of goals.
The evidence that renewables need to be supported by gas and oil is evidential in northern Europe, observed by anyone who pay their own electricity bill. When the wind is weak the market price is determined by gas and oil prices. When the wind is strong the price goes down to basically transit costs. Since the average wind condition is pretty much the same each year, the market cost for electricity has been 100% determined by gas and oil prices for the last decade.

If one also follow energy politics this has also been very clear by the politicians themselves. The green political movement has been advocating the concept of "reserve energy" over nuclear "base load". The strategy is to build out as much wind and solar as possible, while keeping natural gas and oil plant on subsidized plans. When the weather is bad for energy production, those natural gas and oil plant starts up and supply the missing supply.

For oil and gas operators this is a pretty great deal. They get paid twice, once by the government and then a second time by the market. They also only need to spend fuel when the market price is at its highest, reducing fuel costs and improving profits. It is pretty much a win-win situation for the government and power plants operators.

Facebook allegedly buys transaction data (you know like banks and payment processors etc. sell). So they have a browser fingerprint for you via cookies (you know that like and share button on every page on the internet) or just plain JS fingerprinting.

Matching all that data to the real information you just ran through paypal or other merchant (some merchants sell this data directly) is something an intern can do on their first day.

I thought they denied maintaining shadow profiles though? There seems to be some people at FB who actually care about getting this stuff right and doing the right thing but economic forces at this point appear to be pushing most of the company in a very different direction.
what do you think the bookmakers are using to set the odds?

If you don't have a PHD level and a large amount of money to start with, don't even try to think about it.

I've spent a few months tinkering with this kind of stuff, with a huuuge dataset, my simulations never went past the annual return of an average ETF, and by eliminating 99/99.5% of bets possible, so you'd only have a few bets that are worth it per month, a bad streak would ruin your return for the year, and you'd have to have access to a lot of bookmakers to get the best odds.

It's just not worth it IMO.
There are two separate issues:

1. Copilot itself infringing licenses (MS copying and sharing copyrighted code)

2. Developer infringing licenses (Allowing code from MS into own codebase).

Case 2 is avoided by Hello, because it provides a link to the original, allowing the developer to find and respect the license. Therefore Hello is net superior (with respect to people using the service at least).
Yeah, "guys who work at software companies that don't have degrees in engineering but get to call themselves engineers."

Very impressive racing performance indeed! Though, the "vision based" wording in the title is a little misleading. Human pilots can use vision to develop an understanding of the whole environment, while the drone in this project still need to consume a CAD model of of the track. The vision is probably used to replace the motion capture system.
