"End of the Union" is a catastrophically bad idea and it disturbs me that otherwise intelligent people would take it seriously. I find it stunning how people who might otherwise decry things like "racism" can be in a mindstate of not understanding how close of an idea this is to "Maybe we should do the Civil War" again.

You mean custom ones, right? WebViews are incredibly useful, but it definitely seems like implementing your own browser gives people a false sense of security, like they've been sandboxed when they haven't.

What would be nice here is a permission requirement if you're injecting code into a browser view.

Dark matter isn't a mathematical invention, it is directly observed: the visible matter of galaxies and the bulk of their gravitational mass can be in different places.

Any attempt to "disprove" dark matter that doesn't address the hard observational fact that gravitational mass and visible mass are separable is invalid.

My experience is a bit different. The roads where I live (San Francisco) are better than my AT&T options. Roads here seem to be repaved every 5-10 years and AT&T still doesn’t offer a plan that the FCC would classify as broadband to my house.
Ask HN: Do You Yahoo?
I hadn't been using my old Yahoo! account much, but I recently started a trial subscription of Yahoo! Finance because I really like the tools and screeners they offer. At the same time, I'm noticing a few other things I like about Yahoo tools. Does anybody use Yahoo services? What do you like/dislike?
> I drive a stick shift. It’s a pain, sometimes. Clutching and shifting in bumper-to-bumper traffic wears you out.

My experience had been opposite. I had a manual car for about 6 years: 2005-2011.

It was fantastic in bumper-to-bumper traffic. The second gear had a lot of speed range so I could just stay in second gear most of the time, and use the throttle. Note: just the throttle, rarely the brake. Second will scale up to bursts of 40+ km/h, as well as down to very slow crawling.

When the movement slowed too much for the engine revs, then I instinctively stomped on the clutch, without shifting out of second gear; then if the movement picked up again, I just used the clutch to get going in second gear without going through first. As long as the car is rolling, you can start in second.

It was the only time I found any enjoyment in bumper-to-bumper traffic, like "damn, this is another thing you can handle nicely in a manual, making your life easier".

Another thing was being able to observe speed limits without having to look at the speedometer. You know from the sound/feel of the engine and the gear you are in how fast you're going.
I honestly can't tell if I'm smart or stupid any more... It seems that the absolute dumbest schemes are paying their creators out in millions as I struggle to find success in the normally iron clad business methods... I tweet about things that matter to me and often things I think that are of solid comedic value, but it doesn't connect with many others due to it's lack of conformity with what others are posting online... Which constantly tells me there's something I don't know or may be missing. Success tips online are totally generated to make money, and it floods out what once used to mostly be useful and meaningful advice from smart and experienced (intelligent) people.

I also have been working harder than ever on creative things, and they literally seem to only be valued online for 5 seconds until they go completely dead. I know I'm being manipulated and twisted, but my morality makes me not want to hack my way into public consciousness for money and popularity.... I might by citing that, and citing that many others are hacking their way in, be quite stupid.

Are the people that make and hack manipulative schemes smart? Are the people that break the law and get away with it smart? I don't do those things, so maybe I'm stupid.. At least I can admit it I guess.

I think we're living in a time where an entire generation of people born into inherited wealth are buying their way into popularity (which is painting a very weird and false picture of what success and intelligence really means), and when combined with all the smart people trying to climb life's ladders, the ability to succeed is under threat now more than ever.

Intelligence to me has always been based more on overall life survival skills and growth success rather than human engineered IQ tests... I know actual critically acclaimed surgeons and engineers that literally couldn't tell you where a spare tire is on a car when they get a flat, and if no one else is there to help them.

When one has the financial augmentation of being born into vast amounts of wealth, social status, and connection (which often the individuals most deemed as "smart" are) the very ideal of intelligence is turned upon it's head... The lucky ones can literally fail their way into success without anyone knowing the difference.

To me, the most simplified definition of intelligence for an individual is living life fully and well, with ethics and reputation in balance, being free from the control and influence of others, accomplishing notable things, and skillfully overcoming obstacles as they present themselves... I can't really say I'm smart at this point because many of those things mentioned prior are under threat for everyone right now, and it seems like I'm pitted against others for a limited pool of success resources more and more every day. I'm not happy about that at all.
Amazing work! Is it possible to finetune this model on your own code, or a subset? Finetuning this model on pytorch code to help with tensor manipulation would be awesome!
Yep, pretty much.

I wound up writing a thing for this years ago that worked pretty well for the use cases I had at the time, but it was pretty complicated (implementation wise) and had some potential conflicts with other FFI-written stuff that imported "almost but not quite correct" stdlib definitions - since my thing would always import the exact definitions from the system header files.

Still, it was fun and I thought it worked reasonably well for what it was.

Normalized schemas are less prone to certain kinds of hard-to-solve issues.

Example: When you have the same data in two places, which is authoritative? If they disagree, which one is right?

And querying data reliably is much easier when you've got good relations that can be relied on to be accurate. SQL is almost a masterpiece (though imho it should have been FROM, WHERE, SELECT).
I will say that my ex was a fan of a particular Spanish artist, and she was very upset to discover only while standing in the Spanish wing of the Louvre that her favorite painting had been repatriated to Spain, and only some small examples of his work remained. Google was only an infant at the time, and learning about art history from a book has its limitations.

I couldn’t blame them for wanting a famous work back for their own museum, but it was a major bummer all the same. But Spain is not iron curtain era Berlin, or a tumultuous Middle East, so it’s hardly a fair comparison. It’s difficult to find a balance, but what we know of peak British Empire, from every emancipated colony, is that they just didn’t care.

People like to complain about how arrogant the US is and I just think of that old anti drug commercial, “I learned it from watching you, Dad.” Parents who do drugs have kids who do drugs.
I think the context here is important. Rushdie was nearly killed multiple times for speech, and during his travails may people he knew who who claimed to support free speech were saying thing to him like, "I support free speech, but maybe you shouldn't have [insulted Islam]...". He was talking about people making excuses for his would be murderers.
The more correct term would probably be a figure 8 on a bight. But since climbing harnesses have permanently sewn loops to tie into you can't actually tie it on a bight. You retrace the knot. Otherwise it's a standard figure 8 knot with a loop coming out one end.
I could totally be missing one, but they're the only one I've seen with this feature. Their website is dead simple also. Something my mom could setup. Can't recommend them enough.

cp2102 is my standard recommendation, as they are cheap, do what they're meant to do and cause no trouble.

FTDI were good, but they went apeshit with the drivers bricking non-genuine devices, and I don't wish to support them if at all possible.

Prolific have always been troublesome, and their proprietary drivers refuse clones these days (which broke my chinese usb-rs232 dongle).

ch340 is very popular these days, but I've found they have little tolerance for slightly-off or jittery clocks.

As the sole maintainer of a popular open source NASA project (and contributor to several others), I can say that my open source work reflects very poorly on my work overall. We have a real problem in that there is a drive to open source things, but there is no money at all to support open sourced work. As soon as the open sourced work is no longer something I use day to day, I have to either maintain it on my personal time or it gets abandoned.

Show HN: Insquad. Hire startup-ready senior remote developers
Hey. We are pleased to tell you about our startup. Insquad is a Startup-only focused platform to help hire vetted remote developers super-fast and at half the price of a US developer.

Our team is launching Insquad for two reasons:

First - we are startup founders ourselves - we know how it hurts when your best Python Data Scientist quits with a rich offer from corporate. We've been in these shoes before and want to help the startup community succeed.

Second - we've found many incredible software talents that are spread all over the world. Quite often, they can't find a job that matches their level and gives them the opportunity for further growth.

Fortunately, remote reality opens a lot of opportunities to unlock their potential.

As of today

Our product can vet candidates for seniority in 25 major technologies and frameworks and 15 domains of expertise

Soft skills evaluation: startup culture fit, communication, and leadership skills assessment

Hundreds of vetted developers on the platform - all motivated to start working with a US startup

We are developing the product further - adding AI vetting in our process, more skills, enhanced user experience, and some nifty things only startups would appreciate.

https://www.insquad.com/
Yes because that is about formalizing all human thought and knowledge. In principle that has nothing to do with computers and is something everybody working in science and humanities has been always trying to do starting with Socrates or was it Pythagoras. It is about "building theories".

Now computers can help in that of course but it doesn't really make it easy to create a consistent stable "theory of everything". As we used to say "garbage in garbage out".

I think phrase you are looking for is "merchant of record"
What's the difference? As I understand it, you've just drawn an arbitrary line which reflects your personal views about stuff that's okay to say, and stuff that's not okay to say.

Why is is not okay to say "X should be lynched"? Is is specifically just calls to murder that should be restricted? General physical violence? Or is it more generally calls to perform illegal actions – is it okay to say "X should all be deported" or "X should be burgled" or "we should round up all the X and put them into camps"? Does the manner of the speech matter – if it's targeted at an individual versus a group, or private communication versus public?

The interesting questions are about how we build a tolerable consensus across society that most people can live with. The underlying principles are important to that, but black-and-white answers are rarely, if ever, correct.
No, because the types of fossil fuels do not substitute well. You can't use oil for heating in Gas burners, industrial processes etc.
The answer to that is yes. Python was already used a lot in science and when Data Science started to blow up it already had numpy, scipy, scikit-learn and pandas. Also those libraries are really fast because they're wrapping highly optimized Cython, c, c++, and Fortran. I don't think Ruby had anything like that at the time.
And that basket naturally shifts over time as certain goods which have reasonable substitutes rise sharply in price, as technology changes, as tastes change, etc. It would obviously be silly to compare against the same basket of goods as was used in 1970.
And you dig smaller trenches with them. Microtrenching digs a foot deep and two inch wide hole for direct bury fiber cable, saving time and money over older techniques.

Home Inventory Soars at Record Rate with US Buyers Pulling Back
I disagree with you on the basis that I can get in my car right now and be confident that I'll be able to drive with speed and safety to any city on the map, and that when I get there I'll be able to drink the tap water and to plug my electronics into any wall socket without them getting fried. Maybe some local municipalities aren't that great at keeping up with their last-mile pothole maintenance, and maybe that should be an issue the locals prioritize more when choosing their representatives - but that doesn't represent the average experience.

But also, we're already talking about publicly funded infrastructure. We've subsidized broadband to every home multiple times by now, and we still continue to write those checks. Maybe if we want it to be private we should actually enforce that and then see how it goes.

I was talking about official statements defining the goal as occupying 100% of Ukraine's. Taking an ambiguous word in a propaganda speech doesn't cut it.

> How do you demilitarize a nation by taking only 20% of it? The only way to do this would be to capture the entirety of the country.

Really? What if Ukraine surrenders and negotiates sovereignty over the remaining 80% of their territory while dismantling (or at least greatly reducing) the capabilities of their armed forces?

That's just one of the possibilities that comes to mind which does not involve occupying the entire territory.
> Is anyone under the impression that they are a customer of a service they don’t pay for?

Maybe not on a technical forum like this, but I think the distinction between a "customer" and a "user" is sufficiently fuzzy among non-technical people.
I'm actually thinking of setting up a large scale dutch bucket tomato farm in the future. I'm doing a POC next season and plan on improving it over the coming years. The dutch bucket system seems to be the way to go. My goal is to do this when I retire so I can keep active.
I use /e/ daily as does a co-worker (we aren't working in tech). It's the one piece of alternative software that I'm comfortable recommending to anyone. It "just works" just as much as Android "just works".
It's actually been an issue everywhere I've seen k8s be deployed. Part of the problem isn't k8s per se but rather "microservices" and that no one really has a good view of everything ties in with everything else, so running a complete product from scratch becomes really hard, and IMO k8s adds to this confusion and complexity.

No doubt there would have been issues if k8s wouldn't have been used, but at least that's (often) easier to understand, so it's 'only' "a mess I can understand and fix" rather than "a mess and wtf I have no idea".

Feds have some of the most useless engineers/bureaucrats in the world. They do have a very, very tiny amount of mission motivated folks who are the best of the best, but that number is a rounding error. Ask anyone who has left.

Not firing folks, low pay, focus on the best work life balance in history, heavy affirmative action, politics, and having to work hard to carry the coasters isn’t an environment that naturally attracts skill and competence. Work 500% harder than the next guy and get the same promotion. No thanks.

The gov and contractors, like it or not, are jobs programs first and foremost. A remarkably effective jobs program if you just measure folks employed and not output.

I have been thinking of this, a 3kw roof top solar kit should be included with the purchase of a new EV, even make the EV rebate/discount contingent on installing roof solar if you can.

OR ... if your believer in the market, purchase a roof solar installation credit from someone else within X kilometers of your address.

The goal would be to offset the load on the grid with edge solar, so that EVs are net positive on grid load.

Not sure how Canada compares but these concerns haven't stopped the biggest telecoms in Canada from providing subpar service under very restrictive terms and conditions with no accountability. Namely, a 12 hour complete outage by Rogers to which the reply was basically a big shrug. If they can get away with that I am sure a small independant provider can get away with that as well.
That's because it is. It makes no sense whatsoever to think that could be a deliberate strategy.

Managers are happy when they get their hands on a new role to hire into because they all have more projects than they (think that they) can deliver at good quality with the people they have.

> Speech can cause a physical reaction just as much as a punch in the face can

This is farcical on it's face. There is simply no evidence that being offended or made a little uncomfortable is going to hurt you. You do after all have great power to control your own mental state, emotions, and reaction to negative externalities. This is a cornerstone of some of the oldest philosophical traditions in the world and well supported by experimentation. Cultivating a mindset of fragility only hurts yourself. But being called bad names will never hurt you like being physically beaten, words can't break bones or rupture your internal organs.

It seems to me that the only reason that a company would be on Twitter would be to market to people. There are different ways to go about doing that, I suppose, but the path that Supabase has taken seems to be working.

I guess if you don't want to be marketed to by companies on Twitter the solution might be to not follow companies on Twitter.
