The blood test isn't cheap and the parasite is prevalent in poorer tropical countries. Its suspected there are over 500k undiagnosed cases in Indonesia alone. I feel for those poor folks. Its often in cattle and the grass of pastures. But liver flukes have made there way to the sea and can now be caught by eating pelagic fish raw like tuna sashimi.

Regarding imaging yes. Ultrasound of the liver can detect it but requires a technician with very specific training to identify it and depends on the stage of the infection. Ultimately AI could be a solution. But as that original article demonstrates, even doctors and ultrasound technicians at world class hospitals can misdiagnose the issue as cancer.

If I had more knowledge in the field I would love to develop a project to reduce the cost of diagnostics to less than $10 and make treatment more available.

Trestment should not be out of reach of underprivileged.
>first, high-end cards are the ones that miners liked

Last I checked most miners went for 3070s and below, because they're energy efficient. Though when supply ran short they used everything they could get.

And you really didn't get the point about high end cards. EVGA previously served a segment of enthusiast consumers that would spend exorbitant amounts of money for slight performance gains / overclocking sport. But under the new NVIDIA rules you can't take a 3090 and put the highest quality components and beefiest coolers on it, because the price of a 3090 is limited by NVIDIA to be around the range of a FE 3090.
Always travel with two mobiles. Hand over the one you don't use. Don't use the one you hand over. It will carry a virus when you get it back.
Font blocking setting has been there long before that, considering even the original article from 2016 mentions it.
I've found some Figma alternatives just before Adobe acquired it and I'd tried many many tools like Miro, Whimsical, Balsamiq, etc.
The first top of mind when looking for an alternative is the easy and quick wireframe tool. Then I started searching and among thousands of alternatives, this one impressed me the most - Visly. It's not a 1:1 replacement for Figma, but it helps me solve a lot of problems such as Figma did.
Ready-to-use templates, UI wireframe, prototype.

The document for pocketbase's realtime is: https://pocketbase.io/docs/api-realtime/

The Realtime API is implemented via Server-Sent Events (SSE). Generally, it consists of 2 operations:

* establish SSE connection

* set client subscriptions

SSE events are sent for create, update and delete record operations.

Pocketbase is mainly a single application with SQLite embedded, so, whenever you update records through PocketBase's API, the main application always knows that.

This is different with postgres, since it may be connected by several different applications/servers remotely.
According to the video, YT is demonetizing all sex-related content. That's likely to be a popular move regardless of whether people understand the full implications of that decision. It's in YT's interest to make money, but they have to balance that desire with perceived threats from legislature or public sentiment.
My dad chose it for my first windows account when I was about 7yo.

It stuck with me ever since, because it's actually pretty unique on the internet !

I never found someone using the same username.
Out of curiosity, what relevance do you mean it would have for the specific topic I was writing about?
We would need next to no punctuation if we could all write as well as Cormac McCarthy. But few can, so I'll keep using Oxford commas.
What about Discworld and other MUDs? Had a lot of fun with that back in sixth-form college.
I get a decent amount of traffic, but I'm not sure that helps. Just creates pressure to write things that are worth reading, even though I'm primarily writing for myself. It was much easier to write when my audience was 95% bots.

I think my biggest obstacle is finding the time. Writing something worthwhile requires a decent chunk of time and brain real-estate. I have many other projects that also require the same, and juggling them all is hard. I kinda wish I had more time to write, because I really enjoy it.
I see that EVGA selling through amazon in Italy, I don’t see any availability from their own website. Paying the amazon’s cut seem like even adding things on the top.

I miss their GPU+PSU bundles (and i need one now again). Their PSUs are great as their GPUs.
Exactly. They want to be the Microsoft teams of media. The individual apps are less important than the ecosystem and network effects.
I haven't written a lot of Rust, but every time I do I find myself trying to do something rather basic, google around a bit, only to have people telling me to just install crate so and so. While I do see the advantages of this and all, it also stops me from learning the basics.
CF is still around ;)
I suspect (IANAL) that in a sense, it already is, in that anybody testing this in court would deny the existence of any form of contract acceptance, and that would be the end of it.
Not terrible but I think it should have a clause that if they stop supporting it (go out of business) it drops to apache or something. Their call of course; not for anyone else to say.

We would use it like this but would need to sign a contract somewhere that if support stops, it would, at least for us, drop away that requirement, maybe for a final lumpsum.

Edit; never mind, they already have such a clause! Nice one.
The other very important part of BOINC and the like is that they offer no monetary gains for your contribution. That's how you eliminate 99,9% of malicious actors and the rest can be eliminated the way you described

It won't work in the PoW scheme because there is presumably some cryptocurrency involved as a reward
It's designed to make a computer secure against even physical access to the hardware. Because ChromeOS systems are often used as work or school machines, and need to be 100% completely owned by the institution and immune to the actual user.
I wish to be the Don of aliens, my username reflects that ;)
have they though? i for one remember the "golden days" being much more about checking specific values for things you already know could happen than gathering telemetry to be able to ask questions you never would have even thought about asking at the time you set it up.
I hate it but will probably pick up some stock.
With that kind of insight into each market segment, what monetization model are you seeing working the best on each platform?

I've had an idea for a small mobile game in mind now for a while, but I find the idea of potentially having to place ads in it to make back some of the investement not appealing. So I delay starting the project.

The dream would be to be able to offer it for a low price (1.5$ - 3$) and reach enough of an audience.
Tbh I'm surprised it's an issue.

Rust community is small and thus mostly welcoming, plus there were lots of non-binary programmers.

Did that change while I wasn't looking?
How is ROCm playing out? I am eying new GPU, especially for stable diffusion, very curious about this. As i see, AMd is loaded with vram but lacks cuda-thingies, is it right?
Random speculation here - could someone who actually knows the answer comment?

Given the Russian war on Ukraine, and the price of energy dropping in BRIC countries, does the Ethereum merge actually help Western interests? Ie. Does this mean that Russia, for example, can't leverage their cheap energy into crypto which can then be exchanged for cash?

Would that line of reasoning have led Western governments to lean on the Ethereum people to complete the merge?

</tinhat>
My guess... it has more to do with the logistics of uninstalling hundreds, or even thousands, of GPUs and then prepping them for sale on eBay. Its probably more profitable to use them for mining until the very last second and then sell them in bulk to an eBay vendor or foreign nation or whoever is in the market for pallets of GPUs.
I was already fascinated by Elixir, but this video drove the nail home. It's a great presentation and I don't think I have watched any conference talks (on YouTube) without taking a break except this one.
Not the majority of gamers. But gamers in the used GPU market? Most def.
Eventually open source is something I really do like, but it should have clear, measurable and open milestones for doing so. Like Open Accounting to show ‘if we reach 100k’ or something like that. Or if we reach 1000 contributors or if we reach 50k in donations. One thing bloody ETH would be useful for; it would be impossible to hide and you cannot change your mind on when the switch flips.
I got that e-mail too, on a decade-old test account: first an e-mail that reads like my account simply "expires" if I don't update. Then an invoice.

Here's what I don't get: After a stunt like this, any reputation/brand value that you might have had is gone. So, the obvious conclusion is they bought the company purely to pull this trick. Any other value the company might have had is deleted. Can that have been worth it? Very few people will pay voluntarily, I can't imagine them successfully collecting the money, and the acquisition price probably wasn't 0 either. I can't imagine that the math checks out, or does it?
Besides the people already saying the performance difference is much larger, the memory savings are quite important too, and I'd argue the complexity isn't that bad either. Sure, NaN-boxing isn't completely trivial, but it's largely a one-time cost for quite a small part of the definition of your vm. It even brings some nice things with it, like being able to use regular 64-bit routines to work with tagged data, and having a single nice 64-bit int to copy&paste around while using a debugger, whereas otherwise you'd have a whole struct.
I'm looking for Figma alternative on Product Hunt and found this guy (https://visily.ai/) XD
Why do the people here have so much skepticism towards this sort of reporting?

Like do you have any idea what kind of content is hosted on these sites?
The main headline on the news site they allude to is this:
"Big Tech to Increase Surveillance and Censorship of White People Following Biden Speech"

Are you seriously trying to justify this? Do you seriously think that the people hosting this shouldn't be held accountable by the press and public?

I'm all for free speech, which includes the freedom of the press to bring disgusting shit like this to light so that it can be publicly disgraced
Feedback can be savage when you make a slight mistake (or even not a mistake, you just go a little bit against the pack on some topic you understand more than others). That definitely keeps me from writing more and bias me to only publish "safe" posts that are likely to be in agreement with the current trends (which in my case is rarely).
Rats! I thought the preprocessor was finally going to get some love ....

Isn't XD pretty much dead? The last release that wasn't just bugfixes happened a year ago, while before that they were pushing out something new every month or two.
Can a no-coder create a game by himself?
Hierarchical is more effort than simply adding relevant tags and inline edits implies preference over using their text editor. Topic-wise, the assumption that blog posts are final probably stems from them having a publication date (meaning it's expected they're final with minor edits perhaps) rather simply a start date expecting them to be living documents unless said otherwise. Good example being Gwern's site (https://www.gwern.net/). Like essentially is a blog but not the usual one. (E.g. it considers the previous remark.)
This funding is from people interested in the ET angle. Aliens is how you get the money.
I did a couple of MIT projects in some of their graduate classes (OS, distributed systems) which was a lot of work. At least one week full time for each of them. And that's just the lab, I barely looked at the lectures (which were based on key research articles on the field).

But looking at the first classes of each topic to have a broad view seems like a good idea too.

I wish I could go back to school. CS is changing so fast, it's impossible to keep up to date within your free time.
GDPR is common sense "don't screw your customers", so you should probably follow it anyway.

VAT collection is more complicated. Every significant platform should contain support for doing this, though. Are you coding your shop yourself from scratch?
Yes, websockets follow an HTTP upgrade path and can't leverage datagrams.

An breaking update in the HTTP spec would be quite painful, especially for backend libraries that are often updated only when absolutely necessary.

The fact the API isn't even finished yet, let alone standardised, also makes it a good idea to add it as a new feature. I don't think browsers should mess with standardised protocols to implement some draft that's still in progress because they're very likely to break something, especially since this particular type of socket is only available to a small number of websites and use cases (those on servers supporting transferring raw HTTP/3 to the application server, so probably not most CDN/DDoS protection services).
Why not build a reverse cloud solution? Files are worked on right in the cloud, and then afterwards automatically synced to a local folder on one or more computers? This way if the cloud implodes, you at least have several (nearly) up to date copies of your work.
I think most people don't truly grasp how much this will change the world. IMO the advances in Synbio will be vastly more influential than the advances in AI (though AI is utilized heavily for the former)
Sure there are risks- but it is fantastic functionality to collaborate in a web first app like Figma or Google Workspace.
Few suggestions for the KDE folks since I recently installed neon

1. Why is the touchpad "tap to click" feature turned off by default? What's the downside to having it on?

2. Firefox should really have the "no window borders" + title bar off options by default. Otherwise we just have wasted space in the titlebar & it also doesn't match the Firefox UI on windows
That's a hell lot of buzzwords (GPT-3 trained with HN titles, eh?). Does "serverless" and "cloud-native" database together even make any sense? Idk, but I feel like these folks are doing too much pointless marketing when the core product literally just "borrows" code from other databases without any credit to them.

Came across this rather interesting issue on their own repo: https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/issues/103

I think it's time we say "Stable Diffusion Powered Hyperfast Scalable Ultimate Cloud-Native Kubernetes Native Document Graph Relational NewNoSQL Database"

Enough of the buzzwords on HN, honestly. Also, NOT FOSS.
Because that is what the Galileo project is about.

It refuses to see aliens as a silly notion and therefore it is obvious to look for archeological evidence of aliens.

Its mass/robustness was weird (very high). Its speed was also weird beyond just being high, IIRC.
I have also come to the same conclusion, and I believe it would be a very great idea to create a program that graph’s a topic’s “dependency courses”, perhaps with some must-read books for each subject.
> But it’s not worth the time

I suspect just about everyone with ADHD would agree with your assessment.
I played a Traveller RPG in 1985 as Orion Blastar and the name stuck. He was a Merchant turned Space Pirate.
> who are not representing the real emotions people feel here. Which is almost certainly tolerant indifference.

Is that indifference coming from a place of awareness, or a place of ignorance of the whole situation? If the content of these websites was brought to light - without any sort of commentary - do you seriously think the public would still look at these sites with indifference?

> They're telling people how to think, not what is happening. People who do that are untrustworthy.

It depends on intention. And also: what is happening here that they aren't reporting?
I used to enjoy reading the "Joel on Software" blog in e.g. 2004, and that was around the time he/they were working on this product. I guess it's been sold on, perhaps many times, since, and I guess if the new owners are trying this then they don't have many/any actual real paying customers.

It seems such a shame. The blog (and presumably the product, although I never used it) was brimming with such optimism and confidence, "this is how you run a good business!" etc.

I bet Joel didn't envisage that product ending like this when he wrote all those articles. :(
cough cough git
It's not like they have any other options. Who else is there? NVIDIA? Microsoft's issues with them shows how precarious that relationship is. I'm sure issues with NVIDIA are why we haven't seen an improved Switch yet and I think there are clear concerns about potential SOCs for a Switch 2. Unless you have to, you don't want to work with NV.
> I run Linux at home. I have heard people say over and over that AMD is king on Linux.

Idk about that, I’ve never believed it. My N=1 anecdata over 12 years of using Linux with the binary nvidia blob says ive generally had a good time. I only have used it on a desktop though.

It’s not like I leave the card alone either as I game on Linux, do dynamic card binding with kvm passthroughs etc.
>> The trouble with litigation taken to extremes and outrageously high payouts is that it puts a high overhead on everyone who does business. In some ways I'm surprised there hasn't been a significant backlash against this.

All the sums are pretty small, so people just see it as the cost of doing business. In a sense it's true. People love the UK "loser pays" system but it really discourages your average person from filing a lawsuit they don't feel 95% to win.

The American legal system allows for plaintiffs to abuse the system, but the upside is that filing lawsuits for recompense is easier for your average person.

Everything has tradeoffs. Not saying it's perfect here, but my mind was at least shifted slightly when the above was explained to me.
It’s all there in the license: https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/blob/main/LICENSE. It reverts to Apache-2.0 after four years of the release of a particular version, or on 2026-01-01, whichever comes first.

(This means that if the Change Date is not altered before then, none of SurrealDB will be BSL any more come 2026.)
Maybe it’s a good strategy to saturate the market with your owns products.

Like L'Oréal and its 3000 brands that fill the supermarkets.
If you are not in Europe, don't specifically target EU customers, and are small, I would simply ignore the GDPR.
I have done this too for familiarizing with large/complex codebases (i.e. for a C++ game engine). Afterwards I usually felt like it was a waste of time (and paper) as I didn't reach back to those notes often. But that's because they had already served their purpose.
Blame greyballing on finance too? It seems unlikely for finance to really own the final call here.
I love reading these kinds of posts. Whenever I’m reminded that I’m not alone, I get a little bit more self-compassion and that makes me more excited to release my game and helps me appreciate all the progress and hard work to date.

I’ve been working on King of Kalimpong [0] on and off since playtesting a one-week prototype of it in 2014. I had no idea how much work a networked physics vehicle/movement shooter game would be. (I should have, I was 8 years into a programming career).

Working part-time was critical (for many reasons), but so was learning that progress is a product of discipline, not motivation, and that I needed to learn “infinite endurance” (I think that’s what Chris Hecker called it).

Once I adopted the perspective that I was some finite number of 3-4 hour blocks of concentration away from turning a goofy idea into a game that anyone could play, finishing became something that felt inevitable — as long as I kept going.

I’ll take the time to write about my experience after I release (which is now months instead of years away) in case any other game developers get anything out of it. Until then, thanks for another reminder that I’m not alone!

If you've ever tried collaborating on design files, the file only living on the web is a feature. No merge conflicts or other issues. No sending the same file back and forth with new revisions.

Abstract for Sketch is nice, but having to help a designer resolve merge conflicts is annoying.
One of the weirdest things to me about the US constitution is how rarely the amendment process is used to actually amend it.

Instead it is mostly used to pass unrepeatable laws. The only big changes to the constitution were allowing federal taxes on the general population and making the Senate semi democratic.

And even the other amendments are the same format: ambiguous and very open to interpretation.

Take the bill of rights. Nothing there specifically changes how the constitution works. It just adds some laws about what congress can or can't do. And it does so in very broad strokes.

"The right to bear arms" has been litigated and re-litigated 1000 times and seems to be almost entirely down to the preferences of the day. It's been left up to judges to decide what parts to ignore entirely (the militia bit) and what it applies to (no surface air missiles or fireworks, rifles are ok). Yet everyone acts like the 2nd amendment is settled and either has to be accepted as it is today or repealed entirely.

I don't know who has a better constitution. I just find it really weird that Americans think so highly of their one despite it breaking or failing all the time. Don't get me wrong, we all have our national blink spots. :)
You can use Paddle as your payment provider and it will handle VAT for you.

For a small business I would imagine GDPR is pretty much just have a straight forward privacy policy that states your intentions with someone's data. If someone requests their data then send it to them, if they want it deleted then do. I think that GDPR likely doesn't come up for the majority of small business besides a data consent pop up on a homepage.

They may be able to ignore the GDPR, but they can't ignore the VAT requirement. The problem is, VAT gives them constructive knowledge about who is in the EU and who isn't.
The dumbest idea ever thought of.
AutoCAD is still a standard because it is flexible and scales great. You can draw as easily a pcb, a dog house or a city.

Imagine you are starting a concept for an housing block. You are just starting to "shape it". You don't really know if it will be a square or a rectangle or even a more complex polygon. If you use BIM (e.g. Revit), you'll need to define what wall is exactly made of, what kind (and brand!) of window is it, etc, since the beginning.. you don't even know yet what the building will look like! It's completely nonsense and an huge incentive to repetition: you use what you already have in your library once it is a massive hassle to create new objects.

When the project is settled and approved by authorities, then and only then, may pay (depending on the scale) to convert it to BIM: you'll get 3D renderings, bill of quantities and a realtime model of the building out of the box.

An analogy for HNers: Autocad is a text editor (emacs kind), BIM is an IDE.
It would almost certainly be feasible in academia, whose values seem to significantly differ from the US median.

But instead, top schools in the US are becoming even more entrenched as institutions for the rich, by the rich.
