* Crypto has very limited applications if any outside of the financial area, and limited even there. We won't be doing general computing on blockchains, we'll be doing extremely limited subset of financial problems, if anything.

- I agree it will be used on a subset of problems, but I think the digital world will move in that direction. I don't agree that it will only be financial problems, NFTs proved that.

* NFTs are a mostly stupid idea.

Opinion.

* NFTs are not about art. They're about money. Art is an excuse and the art attached to a NFT has very little importance.

Opinion.

* NFTs are falling in popularity.

True, but only because a significant subset (perhaps the majority) of users are only in it for the money (I agree with you there). The ones who are in it to buy art have not left.

* Crypto and NFT markets are chaotic, full of scams, money laundering and wash trading and in general not worth getting into.

This is true.

* Pretty much nobody buys NFTs for the art value.

Not my experience.

That's about all I can say. I hope one day you change your mind. Perhaps when one of your favourite artists drops an NFT? Anyway, glad to have had a civil conversation.
Saying something is virtue signalling, the ultimate virtue signalling.

If you have a pebble in your shoe and it's bothering you, is it not good advice to remove the pebble and go about your day (as opposed to trying to make the pebble become less uncomfortable)?
Think of them as smart cluster bombs. A ballistic missile warhead could release a cloud of these things kilometers above a ship. They could drop passively and power up just a few tens of meters above the target.

If you don't think drones of the future will be the most horrifyingly effective weapons of war, you lack imagination.
Fun fact: you can lose your car driving license if you are drunk when cycling. But you can't lose it if you don't have one!
If you wanted to keep cyclists safe, you would just stay behind them at a safe distance until a safe passing moment appears, just like you must do for cars. It sounds to me like you aren't keeping a safe distance and you are percieving the risk you are putting on others. At a safe distance, the problem you describe is not an issue.

When I am near cyclist or motorbikes there is a lot of ways I can not put them in danger, but the biggest ones are being attentive and keeping safe distances when folllwing or passing. This gives everyone space and time to react to any issues. Simple stuff.

Cyclists are doing the best with an infrastructure built in favour of cars, if they could be riding on a separated bike path out of your way they would definitely prefer that.
This might even be a symptom of their approach. They want to train a model that is able to generalize and behave like a human. In doing so they reject simpler approaches that can handle simpler scenarios much more reliably.
During the period that educated Europeans believed in the reality of magic, it was understood to be of two types. "Natural magic" is when you are manipulating the physical world without understanding the mechanism by which it works. "Demonic magic" is when you are calling upon some spirit-world entity to manipulate the physical world for you.

Pre-modern people understood that natural magic was just a matter of having limited understanding of the physical world. They would have been comfortable calling it "technology." The really big conceptual change came when people stopped believing in the plausibility of demonic magic.

It's not free though, the subscription went up by about 100% when they launched Prime Video.
And the best times were the free weekends when they'd show great movies to lure new subscribers.

Conversely, it makes sense that a country with chronic bike infrastructure baked into the legal system would assume bikes use that infrastructure. If there is a safe, protected bike lane, I’m happy to use it.

In other countries, bike infrastructure is sparse, poorly designed, and frequently dangerous. Bicyclists must drive defensively to stay alive. Sometimes this means taking the full lane because staying to the side puts you in danger of dooring or makes you vulnerable to aggressive drivers who will squeeze by without adequate space.

Sieve (YC W22) Is Building AI Infrastructure for Video
Our website: https://www.sievedata.com/

Hey HN! I'm one of the founders of a startup called Sieve, and at a high level we're building ML infrastructure focused on video data. Think about it as something similar to Databricks or what Tesla's ML data engine looks like internally, but focused on video and built for software engineers and data scientists who may not know the ins and outs of deep learning and infrastructure. We're a team of recent Cal grads with experience at many ML companies (Scale AI, NVIDIA, Niantic, Microsoft) and within a year, have multiple large paying customers.

Video is becoming a huge thing with apps like TikTok and Zoom taking over, and smart cameras being installed everywhere from homes, to farms, fleets, warehouses, retail stores, and more. We think we have the potential to position ourselves as the company that brings ML infrastructure to the masses of software companies just getting started on their journeys.

We're currently building out our founding team.

I would not recommend Quest 2 for flight sim: Terrible image quality and noticeable latency. I cannot recommend this headset anymore after having tried the G2. The only thing the Quest 2 has going for it is the price. A nice 2nd hand G2 reverb is the best choice IMO for overall value atm.
Or in the X hours you read HN.
it was a very wise choice.
For me, Zig is Modula-2 with C syntax, and some cool metaprogramming capabilities, much better than C will ever be, but I expect something better than what a 1978 systems programming language was offering in regards to safety (or NEWP from 1961 for that matter).

I guess in the end should be happier that more Zig and less C gets written.
The difficulty with eye contact is that it's easy to interpret as being there when the other person really just looks through you. Very common to hear about accidents when one person was confident they had eye contact and then the other just had no idea they were there.

In fact, eye contact works so badly for me that I prefer looking at the front tyres – their direction and angular acceleration tells me a lot more about where the vehicle is about to be.

Pointing, however, is very explicit and rarely happens by accident.

The man injected himself into an ongoing crisis he had little insight into, and when rejected, his ego was so hurt that he used his influence to accuse individuals he knew nothing about if pedophilia, all while they were in the midst of trying to rescue a dozen children from imminent death.

That’s not a “major error in judgement”. That’s the behavior of a completely deranged individual.
I agree and its like selling foss binaries. My question is what stops a cloner from stealing your work? We’ve seen it on App Store over and over the attack of the clones and that is without access to your source code…

Once you learn about the https://www.dutchreach.org it's hard to forget it. It helps to avoid the not-looking-for-cyclists problem :)

“ - I cannot find anything decent, so I give up and turn off the TV”

This is me about 50% of the time. I always hear that there is just so much content. But I would never watch most of it. I’d rather watch YouTube wood working videos all day.
Since you have an AppleTV, what is the advantage to you of using Plex instead of just an iTunes instance with Home Sharing turned on? Do you have non-Apple devices you're trying to stream to, or something else?

I tried Plex years ago, and it wasn't to my liking because it was philosophically like Windows (Load the filename up with show information and constantly ping the internet for matches) instead of macOS (Metadata where it belongs — with the file).

I'm considering adding a Sony phone to my household, so now that Plex is in the news, this reminded me to check it out again.

As far as I know, vagrant is the only decent alternative to locally spin up a bunch of VM machines in a programmatic way (and without paying a dollar). Very useful to replicate cloud environments locally.

Do you know of any other open source alternative? I know about UTM and qemu, but the former is more oriented to VM with GUIS and you have to spin up machines in a very manual way. The latter is great, but not as easy as use as vagrant I would say.

Also, docker does not provide the same features (e.g., it gets tricky if you want to run `minikube` inside docker, or docker within docker, etc.)
Agreed. My company uses Google Workspace, and I find the Gmail UI/UX absolutely unbearable in every way. I personally like Outlook (or rather what it used to be), and just wish for a clean Outlook for Gmail integration.

But the nightmare that is IMAP has prevented me from ever succeeding in cleanly integrating the two. In fact, the general experience of using Microsoft and Google products together is quite frustrating. I get that they are competitors, but not acknowledging the multi-platform reality of modern work and forcing me to suffer because you can't be healthy adversaries, is really ridiculous and I resent both companies for their user-hostile practices.

Looking at you too, Apple.
You could say that it’s the fundraising which makes the money, but I must admit that this is a weak argument at best. So I guess that you’re right, you can finance a FOSS project by donations. But this only works for both very useful and very public projects, like Wikipedia.
I never said anything about behavior, only about accidents and the results thereof. I'd really really rather get hit by a cyclist at any speed than a much heavier vehicle, that's just basic physics. And your examples are just that: examples (possibly exaggerated or factually incorrect ones, re: the 50km/h on sidewalk - it's really hard for humans to correctly judge speed). Anyway: examples which I also see from time to time, but I'm well aware of things like confirmation bias so without any actual hard numbers nor specifying more variables, it's quite hard to say 'x does y on average'.

That being said, I do have the impression in the local town (but definitely not everywhere) the behavior of cyclists in general became worse in the last decades. I'd really wish I had a way to make sure, but I just don't remember seeing multiple highest category rule violations every single day.
Customers are funny like that.

My own personal gimmick ideas for twitter, that will never be tried, would be "premium" which gives you abuse reporting that actually works (and maybe some other stuff), and a system to enable people to pay for premium (or part thereof) for other users.
some more reasons from a UK perspective:

- if you want to turn across the road, you have to merge onto the road which can be dangerous and awkward, so it's better to be on the road for longer before you want to turn than you might expect.

- cycle lanes are often too narrow (if just painted onto an existing road), so push you closer to the curb than is really safe. i often feel like the best position would be on the edge of the cycle lane, but then cars will not overtake properly

- ungraded cycle lanes tend to fill up with the dirt and detritus that's flung off the road by vehicles if they're not cleaned regularly enough (this is especially a problem if there are bollards or other street furniture that is supposed to separate the bike lane from the road, as it makes them harder to clean)

- cars are more likely to cut you off when turning across a cycle lane, than if they are forced to overtake properly

most cyclists I've talked to here think the kind of cycle lanes we have are worse than useless
Filters are only useful if the air moves through them:

> Our study also found that there are simple changes that could reduce exposure to emissions for professional drivers, such as keeping windows closed when driving, or changing routes to avoid tunnels. Having an air-tight vehicle cabin can also play an important part in reducing driver exposure. Technological fixes such as specialised in-vehicle cabin pollution filters may also be a short-term solution to reduce exposure for professional drivers.

How many vehicles are air tight?
I assume most spells are more like executables once they've been studied. So healing somebody without killing them is more like remembering the flags on grep. Maybe some are a pain, but get out your spellbook.

This also explains why our protagonist has time to go around doing adventures and casting spells, while many of the other wizards seem to be old greybeards living in towers. They are actually doing a totally different kind of magic, writing the spells, debugging them, etc.
I'm willing to go along with this so long as blame is apportioned where it belongs: with the Federal government of the United States.

My case is that manufacturing vehicles is a public good. We can talk about restoring city centers to human beings and I'll agree with you all day, but if you want to make the case that motor vehicles, cars included, are themselves immoral, we don't share enough values to have a productive conversation.

So these companies, to provide this benefit, must comply with the law. Consumers have choice in what to buy, but strictly limited by price tag and availability.

Note that we don't have a cultural trend of buying cars with enormous rotating blades on the bumpers. It's not so much because this is illegal, as none are available for purchase.

The government decided, correctly, that the fleet should be more fuel efficient. All the reasons for this are good. So they did the obvious thing: imposed increasing taxes on gasoline.

Ok, let's back up: no, they passed insane regulations leading directly to the prevalence of SUVs and the increasingly hostile road profile of pickup trucks.

The law allows them less fuel efficiency if they make the wheelbase bigger. That's insane. Shall we apportion some of the blame to the car lobby? Ok. Sure.

Ultimately the government is responsible for the law, and the manufacturers are responsible for following it. End the insanity, and the problem goes away over a decade or so.

> we want to ensure you have the right information and tools to keep your account secure

Which is of course, a bold-faced lie, otherwise they would never have forced users to open Plex accounts, or removed the ability to conduct authentication locally.
I mean, I don't think that's a good argument - it costs you cents per user. Either way, I think you should charge however much value users can take from the product, completely unrelated to the cost.

At the moment though, being notified whenever my github repo is trending is a nice to have that gives me nearly 0 value as there's no actions I can take from that (other than share with my team :)). So I would try to find some other way to monetize it or to bring value to the users. Sorry for the harsh feedback.
Unfortunately, it's quite expected. I don't want to get into the debate about whether any of it is true or not, but I believe most agree that lot of the current online narrative either demonizes men or claims that fake sexual harrasment claims are commonplace.

It's not hard to see why being bombarded with such messaging on social media would lead to some people responding to it.
Have you ever considered that the world is a fucking giant place and that a lot of the people in the world and even in the US itself are not particularly happy with American foreign policies for quite some time? The western world is only 15% of the global population. There is a heck of a lot of people out there in Asia and the global south, who are going to cheerlead anything that seems to be in opposition to America.
HN's interest must have been piqued after the forced entry guide from FDNY was posted here the other day.

But very cool tool. There's something I really like about brutally simple tools, theres a certain art form to making them. In retrospect a tool like this is pretty obvious, but it would be cool to be able to see the thought and design process around tools like these.
heh, I'm on the exact opposite side of the fence. Tried caddy, found it confusing and incomplete so I went back to nginx. Buuut then again, I've been writing nginx config for 10-15 years :)
> A key handle seems to be the real private key encrypted with a static key from the hardware key.

It can be, but it‘s essentially just a binary blob. It can also be entropy to deterministically re-derive a private or secret key from an internal root secret, or just a primary key to look up that key or entropy within the token.

> You can achieve that yourself, for example, using Pass.

How? With a hardware token, you can only do what its protocol allows you to in terms of key derivation.

That means that with a standard OpenPGP card, you will not be able to do key handle based key derivation, while with FIDO/CTAP you can.

You could obviously develop your own OpenPGP-compatible hardware token standard, but you‘d only be able to use it with a patched version of GPG, GPG agent etc, but a big advantage of OpenPGP smartcards (and even more so FIDO/CTAP tokens) is that they are widely supported without requiring driver installation.
It seems like people get irrationally anxious and angry having to wait behind people moving slower in general. On paths that cyclists share with pedestrians, cyclists are usually even more angry and aggressive with pedestrians than drivers are with cyclists (pedestrians are expected to move out of the way and often get yelled at if they don't). There seems to be this almost atavistic response people have to something in front of them impeding there movement.
> Isn't that what you call a type error?

Obviously no, since you can't connect incompatible outputs with inputs at first place.
Then we have to checks notes - make every network niche!

I quip, but I think there are solutions in that kind of thinking. Not everything needs to connect to everything.
>cyclists are equal participants in traffic and are treated with care and respect.

The turkey sandwich in those photos looks great, delicious, but makes me think of spam/pretentiousness.

The tomatoes are too thick, and will cause a mess when eating. They are that thick IMO for appearance sake, not for flavour sake. I only need so much of berries on my sandwich!

And it uses those purple onions, which I suspect I see everywhere because they are pretty, and show in pictures better, not for flavour.

And the cheese and meat are hanging off the bread on purpose, after all, the camera must see them! Never mind that it makes eating more difficult.

Yup, even the spammy turkey sandwich pic is all pizazz, hype, shallow appearances.

Bah.
I don’t know as I don’t have a Facebook any more. But coincidentally, I tried signing up again the other day because I wanted to use the marketplace because Craigslist sucks these days. But I didn’t want to use my actual name because then I would have friends finding me and I would be subjected to all the nonsense and drama that caused me to leave in the first place. So I used a close derivative of my name and they suspended me. Long story short, seems like they have pretty good spam filters.

It's more complicated[1] that but essentially there are no software patents in EU or Europe. Sadly the EU Commission have been trying to get them into legislation for over a decade[2]. It's fits perfectly with their highly protectionist authoritarian centralised control and regulation agenda.

Having worked in companies it's immaterial anyway as big companies with a USA based vehicle will still be patent trolled if they do business there. Seen it happen

LOL it would be funnier if this pollution wouldn't be about to become tragic.
Why would a driver filter out pedestrians and bicycles?
... at work?
Jup. We drive a small Toyota Aygo. If I extend the seatbelts, I could almost use it as a backpack. If I occasionally need some wood from Hornbach, even if the delivery cost is €100, which it is for large pieces of wood, that's still way cheaper than owning a bigger car for the rest of the time.
You can go with doctors with Jewish/Asian last names - that way you chance to hit affirmative action doctor are pretty minimal.

PS I personally never thought about it that way and it’s probably silly to filter like that for routine care but may make sense for high risk surgeries when you can’t do due diligence other way.
The road isn't reserved for cars either, despite what you might think when you see a cyclist "blocking dozens of vehicles" when he's just using the road.
Kodis always been the better option if you're remotely technical.
I swear this sort of thing strikes me as 10X the trouble as just getting a job. Even if you write something that others want (highly unlikely, let's be honest), trying to monetize it adds so much hassle to the whole thing, it isn't worth it. Easier to get a remote gig and just fund the project that way.
Because in this case your analogy is not perfect. There are many reasons why a user is forced to use Facebook. As a user pointed out, if your society has basically mandated using Facebook to interact with basic life, the suggestion to remove Facebook without sugesting replacements for the whole society is just being plainly obtuse.
Yes, but in both the case pf e-mail and SMS you are not looking at public streams, and neither uses a disyributed system. It uses a centralized system with a small number of telephone companies that are slow to respond to reports of spam.

In a distributed system of the kind I propsed above, if you got a spam message you wpuld reduce your trust in those who transitively approved the source of the message, immediately.

Someone spamming would be cut off quick, as would anyone with high trust in a spammer.
