Sorry I hadn't responded until now!

It wouldn't be much more complexity to make the VT52's increment sequence a linked list instead of a counter, another 24 bytes of RAM or maybe just 120 bits. The escape sequence dispatch microcode is probably more space.

I hadn't thought about the complexity of PS/2 decoding.

My thought with the 4-LUT equivalency is that if you take some arbitrary 4-input combinational logic function and build it out of things like ANDs, ORs, NANDs, and inverters, you're going to need about 4 gates on average, which is about one 7400-series chip. I agree that things like bidirectional shift registers and up-down counters are hungrier. And maybe I'm underestimating what fraction of the VT52 consisted of such things.

>Everybody has a right to feel safe in their own home.

Bit of a devil's advocate here: I think private ordinary citizens should have this right. I think a lot of public figures have forgotten they're meant to be servants, not rulers. And I don't mean the supreme court, but congress and the senate. They fought and machinated and put great effort into attaining that position of power which they can abdicate at will any time they don't like the downsides. The fact that they don't says quite a lot. When you've built up all sorts of protective layers and alliances to protect yourself from any real accountability, it's invariably to the detriment of the people at large.

The People's History of the United States by Zinn is full of incidents of the people taking up arms en masse and getting what I would call justice for the little guy. Things like that are denigrated in the harshest possible terms and slandered and libelled with religious fervor these days. But I've read about Ruby Ridge, and Waco. The government was clearly the bad guy in those cases. But where was the accountability? One of the perpetrators at Waco was nearly nominated the head of the ATF instead of facing life in prison for killing children.

Accountability is fairly easy to game. I don’t think it works for everybody though. Money to me doesn’t motivate. I could probably spend $100 per missed workout and not feel attached to it because it doesn’t feel real nor painful.

For me, having kids did it. Being able to get in good routines while I’m still young is my hope that I will be able to squeeze out another visit or two from them by extending my life a few more years.

Hacking your habits is a great place to start, but getting clear on why you do certain things is how you master it.
I have it on good legal authority that if lies are to be told, something factual and disprovable like those references to police, then one arranges to have them be told by someone in a suitable department rather than by an accountable officer. Press, marketing, something.

Because in this case, accountable really means it.

Good point about the Cypress acquisition. While I was investigating part of the driver code recently, I realized it was based on FX2 sample code. The development kit that I got, on the other hand, was pre-FX2. The article notes that Cypress acquired Anchor Chips, the original creator of EZ-USB, in 1999, which would seem to line up perfectly with the time frame in which the Pakon scanners were developed.

Ask HN: How to implement SSO with BaaS solutions?
I run a Startup and want to offer one simple login for all the different web apps (which have their own branding and domains).

Because I want to save time implementing the Auth process, I looked at solutions like Supabase or PocketBase.

All these BaaS solutions have one user table for each application. So every single application would have their own User table, login process and their own conformation emails, etc.

I would like to have one User table for all applications, but app specific confirmation emails and branding.

So far I could only think about running my own OAuth server which could be realized with ZITADEL, Keycloak or Ory but that seems a bit overkill. (I don't want to use paid services like Auth0)

Alternately, I could simply create my own User Database and write my own APIs, but that would mean more workload for me.

Is there a simple BaaS style solution which can also handle one User table for multiple Apps?

Any suggestions? I can't be the only one here on HN who wants this logic?

Ask HN: Stable Diffusion for Programming?
I know little about the inner workings of AI and ML, so I've been wondering about the possibilities of this relatively new stable diffusion technology being adapted for creating working programs via input, ie: "Write a program that generates a fibonacci sequence"

Assuming there is plenty of source material and targeting a single language (or if you think it could be language agnostic?). Perhaps you decompile working programs down to assembly/machine-code and let that be the input/output.

I know about GitHub Copilot, which is very cool, but is it the same tech?
I went through a similar process. I ended up getting a Pixel 5, they are still being sold new-in-box on Amazon. I really liked the size and weight of the 4a but wanted something that had 5G support.

> What do others think about this and how do you deal with this?

One word: counter-offer

Welcome to the world (plane?) of zero-sum games and adversarial strategies! Appealing to fairness doesn't help in this world - because the values and corresponding strategies of your management and yourself are fundamentally adversarial to each other - that is, your delta of profit is their delta of loss. People like to argue sophisticated game theoretical takes that serve to obfuscate this simple truth.

For a more esoteric take:
You could as well model our life as a trajectory unfolding across a stack of "planes" - most common people manage to constrain their limited & valuable attention to "narrative plane" or "social plane" where the main "control points" (as in Bézier curves) are mainly various narratives floating around and signals of social (dis)approval applied to you. Compared to the harsher plane of adversarial game theory I mentioned earlier this social plane is much more fuzzy and forgiving (main message - be a nice person, get an average nice life). Yet for all its self-evident harshness, keeping one's attention away from the adversarial plane (where the main control points are hard decisions, often legally-powered, decisions bearing heavy financial and business implications) leads one to sub-optimal outcomes.

If you play this game by its true rules, your score will increase. That being said, I agree with the increasingly common sentiment that this is long-term unsustainable (sobering statistic: https://florentcrivello.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/image... ). Some solution is increasingly becoming necessary, and this solution is likely some form of UBI.

Why our politics is dominated by various local and global non-sequitur causes and not this sobering issue of rising necessity of UBI is an exercise left to the reader.
When the big providers all require VMC to show BIMI, then VMC is not optional, no matter what the spec says. Claiming it is optional is then disingenuous.

As I said in the linked post, logo verification is not a problem which can be solved. Identical trademarks can legitimately be issued in different fields, and both still be valid. Let’s say you are a brick manufacturer, and have paid an arm and a leg to a VMC certificate authority (previously a HTTPS EV certificate authority) for your logo, a nice iconic square logo. Then someone else can simply come along, register a flower shop in another country, use a different VMC issuer and get an identical logo issued to them. They can now send e-mail invoices to your customers with your logo on it, legitimately obtained, and the BIMI system will have trained your customers to trust your logo.

Any fix for this you try to implement will make the system even less usable for its stated purpose, or more suited to only large players and unusable in practice for smaller operators.
> One solution this decentralized server system came up with is the concept of accounts that have some barrier to entry to create (which involves a delay and proving identity). This account has a private key and it uses this to access the servers through any IP. Abuse on this account and any connected accounts of course leads to the key being temporarily revoked. Lots of positive interactions with well established accounts increases your credibility. Lots of reports decreases you credibility.

That's essentially DKIM being fed into your average domain reputation system.

> between seven and 14 drinks per week

That's already heavy drinking in my book; drinking every day of the week, or binge drinking at least once every week? Somebody drinking that much already has a clear habit and is probably developing an alcohol tolerance, a major step towards alcoholism.

To me, a light drinker is somebody who has a drink on special occasions but not otherwise. One drink a week or less, so they're going several days if not weeks between drinking. I suspect the long-term harm from that is next to immeasurable.
That's a very good summary of the approach. It stems from the observation that every single smoker already know about all the reasons they should not smoke (health, financial, social,...) yet they still do it.

You know it's probably going to kill you, you know it costs a lot of money and you know it's anti-social. The book wastes no time trying to convince you about those things. However, it dispels in a very systematic and repetitive way all the positive myths you believe (or repeat to yourself) about cigarettes ("the brainwashing"). It does not actually relax you or bring you pleasure, it just relieves a nicotine addiction and allow you to get back to a state you already had before smoking. It does not taste good. It does not help you focus. Nicotine withdrawal is actually extremely mild. Etc.

As the parent comment explains it's a re-framing, a change of paradigm. By the end of the book I could very clearly see that quitting would not be a sacrifice or "a pleasure i would loose" but something that would make my life better. And to be honest, this has felt like magic. A few days after finishing the book I just threw my pack in the trash and it really has been easy and at times actually even pleasant to quit. Every cigarette you do not smoke brings you a feeling of pride, accomplishment and liberation.
Just remember that the situation which caused the Opium Wars was that since the 1300s or so, China had exported more than it imported, so the world's silver tended to settle in China. You can see the Spanish empire as a scheme to move silver from Mexico and Peru to China the long way via the Dutch.

The Honourable East India company settled on opium as the one commodity which might settle their balance of payments problem. The period when China was poor was 100, 150 years in the 19th and 20th centuries, linked to specific bad governments (Great Leap Forward, cough).

This is great, but why didn’t I see a photo of the scanner?
I don't necessarily disagree, because yeah, having lots of adipose tissue doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong at the moment. In my experience, the perpetually healthy fat person is a rarity. The possibility of being fat and otherwise healthy is used as an excuse the vast majority of the time to not actually address one's own health. If someone is fat, it would really be a good idea to get a DEXA scan to confirm that they don't have too much visceral fat. As any one who's pro-fat or body positive if they know what their level of visceral fat is and chances are they couldn't tell you what visceral fat is.

There should be a reasonable medium where fat people aren't outright shamed for being towards one end of the bell curve but red flags for unhealth aren't ignored for the sake of other's feelings. America and now many parts of the west are facing various health crises to such an extent that I don't think obesity should be brushed off as perhipheral to other problems. Being fat has many comorbidities, and just focusing on losing fat is usually the best way to address those issues.

> I'm nowhere near fat right now, but if there were an injection that saved fat people from insulin resistance and inflammation, the farthest thing from my mind would be to get upset about it.

I agree, and there kinda sorta are medications currently available that would tremendously help. Off the top of my head, I don't know what it's called, but I know some people who've been on next-generation medications for obesity that target the ghrelin-leptin balance, basically correcting one's sense of hunger and satiety. Having seen the results myself, it works insanely well.

On the other hand, solving obesity with a pill still has some moral issues. If everyone could just consume anything they want in massive amounts and not get fat, I don't think that's really good for a person's psychology in a similar sense that giving someone a bunch of money often doesn't end well. It's not a scientific argument, but a philosophical one; I know. Such drugs may also give someone the idea that they can just eat whatever they want because they don't gain weight, but just because you don't get fat doesn't mean there aren't other consequences to eating lots of sugar, carbs, odixated oils, etc.

The question should be why we are so fat now. But that would mean believing that experts can be compromised and that a century of nutrition policy has been a failure, which many people aren't ready for. Just my opinion.
My grandmother died at 99 with dementia. It didn't last too long, thankfully--it came only in the last few months.

I'm so thankful even just for the last couple of years she got to spend with us. She was my neighbor, so we got to spend a lot of time together, and we had always been close.

There was in fact a bit of pain seeing her at the end, but I don't remember her that way, and I wouldn't change any of it.

It's definitely preferable to RISK dementia. It's not like it's a guarantee at some certain age.

A lot of the joy in my life would have been diminished if she hadn't lived so long.
I looked on Amazon at Cascade powder ($0.22/oz in large packages) and the same name tablets ($0.30/tablet in large packages).

A load with powder is typically 0.75 oz. ($0.165/load) or about 55% the cost, not 10-25% the cost.

Being able to dump in extra for pre-wash is an advantage to powder for sure.

You are correct on that detail - I mixed up Caracalla and Macrinus, the second of which was of Berber origin and also a Roman emperor. Which is an ironic error from part since Macrinus conspired to kill Caracalla. My original point still stands, however, and I believe you are still mistaken in that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrinus

> Macrinus was born in Caesarea (modern Cherchell, Algeria) in the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis to an equestrian family of Berber origins. According to David Potter, his family traced its origins to the Berber tribes of the region and his pierced ear was an indication of his Berber heritage.
Drought.gov actually keeps track of that!

Scroll down to the graph, click "1895 - Present (Monthly)", and click the different levels of exceptional drought/exceptional wetness.

You can see that NH has been trending wetter for the last 100 years (as with all the northeast), more or less the opposite of the southwestern US. Large periods of exceptional wet have happened in my life, with fewer big droughts than ever. (Alas, we're in a drought right now.)

You can also see that California had some unusually wet periods in the 80's and 90's, which might have informed policy, but were simply an anomaly: https://www.drought.gov/states/california
Spam has been a thing forever. Literally forever. Yet people have been dealing with spam far better than the big boys, and doing so for decades.

Want to talk about anti-competitive? Gmail will accept mails, provide a 250 SMTP response, then drop the email internally.

That's not right. At all. You can reject the email easily during SMTP exchange, and people have been doing that literally for 20+ years.

No valid excuse here. None. Zero.

And if your 250 OK accept then drop the message, and provide no way to notify, or discuss, or find out why, you make it impossible for a remote admin to fix the problem.

This is 100% on purpose. Yahoo, outlook/hotmail, gmail, collude to resolve issues like this, while blocking all others to resolve issues their own purposefully broken policies cause.

If you see Alphabet with a policy, or action, you can be 100% sure it is aligned to increase market dominance.
