> Have you ever asked why Armenians are in Iran mainland in Isfahan?

I've visited their church there some 7 years ago, quite an interesting experience. They, at least to outsiders, didn't seem anyhow oppressed on religious level.
Considering the current treatment in the worst cases(where more targeted treatments don't exist) is to blast the pasient with radiation and poison(chemotherapy) and hope it doesn't kill them, I'll take those odds.
Could we have an idea of the temperature change we can expect? For example, if it's 40 degrees celcius outside, can the mechanism go down to 30? 25? 20?
I decided to leave the first part off when submitting, as it's quite flamebaity, and doesn't really match the tone of the article overall.

With all the complaints about Musk's handling of his acquisition of Twitter, particularly with predictions on the harm it may cause to vulnerable people, I found it interesting to read about a positive regarding harm reduction for our most vulnerable group in society.

It's as I've always said, every function ("unit") should be responsible for a single thing, and it must be developed by an independent company with no knowledge of the other companies involved. Otherwise you just can't do software engineering right.
But it’s such a vague statement that it could actually apply to lots of things.

Like say advertisements.

Say dating.

Say pretty much everything that happens all the time.

The definition of fraud you use is overly general.
As I said, they didn't enforce their ideology on the conquered people. They just extracted tax and moved on. Abrahamics on the other hand....

That's the theory. I have seen smoke coming out of a charger when the 5v DC side got short circuited due to wire damage. Quickly unplugged obviously, but I assume there was a real possibility of the AC side shorting if things melt inside the charger.
I remember reading a DARPA document from about a decade ago that proposed drones that could land on power lines and leach power. They proposed drones that changed shape to blend in with whatever technical widgets are already hanging off the power lines. While they were charging they could be used as stationary surveillance stations or nodes in a mesh network.
“Smart” windows (electrochromic glass)
Let's just spell it out instead of this clickbait title:

Dialing the local emergency number (112, 000, and 911 were reported, but presumably also others) sometimes doesn't work, just gives a click instead of dialing. Google blames third party apps. Users report similar issues since Pixel 4 that were reported to Google but haven't been resolved since release.

Not like "911 doesn't ring" is much longer of a title than "very scary issue with dialing 911". It just sounds ever so slightly less like a horror movie.
All forums eventually devolve discussions into political shots taken at non-existent enemies ala Reddit.. Seems like HackerNews is finally getting there.
When I used to work for a large mobile network, we would spend ages testing the firmware of new devices. Even giants (at the time) like Nokia would release phones which couldn't dial the emergency services, or put out more than the legal limit of radiation, or were in other ways defective.

We'd test, send a report back, wait a few weeks, get a new firmware, test again, repeat until everything worked. It took months. That was fine when phones weren't expected to be updated by users.

But when more modern phones arrived with flashable firmware, customers couldn't stand the delays associated with testing. They'd see a new firmware had been released and complained that the mobile network operators were delaying progress, dragging our feet, deliberately depriving customers of something cool.

The fact was, operators very often didn't certify the firmware because it contained *dangerous* bugs. I'm sure there was also a cost element - why pay to re-test a phone that you're no longer selling? - but that wasn't the primary driver.

Well, the manufacturers and customers "won". If you buy a phone through your network, it probably has a network-certified firmware blob. If not, you're at the mercy of the manufacturer.
Signal, Mozilla et al. vs. the tech giants
great book but not an introduction to lisp
The ability to work 8 honest, focussed hours a day is a special skill that needs to be acquired and cultivated. Many people never learned this and are doing ok in their careers. This includes many in that middle management layer that would have to enforce, or at least recognize and reward those productive 8 hours from employees in the first place.

It used to be different, and I started my worklife in a large, old-school company and experienced many departments working in a very structured way, people sitting at their desks working steadily througout the day, with a clearly defined scope and not under a huge amout of pressure but ultimately under a boss' supervision.

Work has changed, incentives have changed, and what do you do with that 8-hour-work superpower? Finish all the tickets from the board, revealing how slow everyone else is? End up with the truly unsolvable and unrewarding work? Try to take initiative and fix things the analyst hasn't specified, liaison with other teams until your boss tells you to stop? Learn job specific tech on the job but feel awkward watching a video series or setting up sample projects on the work machine?

Show HN: I built an AI-powered search engine for a fashion and homeware store
I built Meepo – a smarter search engine for a local (South African) fashion and homeware store.

I have no affiliation with said store. I built this for myself, because I was frustrated at how difficult it was to find what I wanted with the existing search engine + I was curious how well CLIP (a relatively new AI technique with open source code and models) would work here.

I think it works quite well! It's much more forgiving than the original search engine. I don't have to guess what exactly they decided to label a particular item. But what I like even more is that it works quite well for abstract things like "colourful shoes".

Here's the full stack:

- Hardware: Deployed on a 2CPU 4GB RAM VPS w/ docker

- Storage: SQLite + object storage (for images)

- Search: CLIP text/image neural networks + faiss similarity search index

- Pipeline: Python scripts + cron

- Web: Django serving HTML/Tailwind/daisyUI

- IDE: Developed in notebooks w/ nbdev (I'm trying to develop all of my software in Jupyter notebooks - a separate discussion)

I tried to keep the implementation as simple as possible and I'm happy with the result! It took ~2 weeks to build and has been running seamlessly without my input for a few weeks now. I'm more familiar with ML than web so very happy with that timeline.
>Are other sites so bad in the US? I can count the number of times I've been tempted to buy with Amazon in Europe on one hand.

Here in Japan, Amazon is really popular, especially with expats. Other online sites are Japanese-only, so if you don't read Japanese well, Amazon is just much easier to use because it can be set for English, and will auto-translate everything that's in Japanese. The checkout process is also really simple. Japanese websites tend to have really poor UI too, and Amazon doesn't. Also, Amazon has relatively easy returns, unlike most Japanese retailers.

However, according to the grapevine things are getting worse. Instead of using reliable local shipping companies like Yamato or Sagawa, supposedly they're doing more delivery with freelance contractors and the results aren't good.
For the record, yes, they will probably pass the cost off to the consumer (that or lower their profits). Even so, I don’t see it as a bad thing. We’ve lived for too long on cheap disposable plastics. Our descendants will look down on us for the world we’re leaving them with.

> Fishing gear killed the whale.

Fishing (eating) killed the whale.

"... fishing takes 2.7 trillion fish from oceans globally each year. If this rate of fishing continues, the oceans will be “virtually empty” by 2048, according to marine biologist Dr Sylvia Alice Earle."

https://earth.org/facts-from-seaspiracy/

"More than 640,000 tonnes of nets, lines, pots and traps used in commercial fishing are dumped and discarded in the sea every year, the same weight as 55,000 double-decker buses."

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/nov/06/dumped-f...

> If you want to rid the ocean of the vast majority of its trash, station a person to monitor each fishing boat

Doesn't work. There is 4.5 mil fishing boats in the world. On some of them there are people monitoring by-catch (protect dolphins & turtles), but it doesn't work (corruption, death threats, system inefficiencies etc.).

Maybe the solution to world hunger is to make it into a transmissable disease, so that if a child in a developing country goes hungry, there is a chance that a rich person will die.
Saffavids relocated Armenians from their homeland in Caucasus. Many died en-route. These kinds of attritions and second-class citizen status later imposed by Ottomans resulted in Armenians losing their homeland of eastern Anatolia and Caucasus to some degree. Look up the recent Azeri-Turkiye invasion of the region.

I agree the reasoning is non-sensical but the target should remain.

Coca-Cola produces 110 _billion_ PET bottles a year. [0]

And virtually all the plastic produced by Coca-Cola is 'new' plastic made from Crude Oil.

It is absolutely beyond cynical for companies like Coca-Cola to promote recycling/sustainability and then virtually not use any recycled pellets to feed their gargantous bottle production.

> The documentary is available on iPlayer¹; You may need to be in the UK or have an IP that at least looks that way to see it :/

I watched and recall these events very well as I saw them unfold in real time; to be honest the AI filter is rather notable and is really no better than the home-brew deepfake stuff you've seen, to be honest. What that means is that the masses have access to tools that are sophisticated as the MSM platforms, which is in itself remarkable how quickly the barrier of entry has been made for building with these tools.

It's a good watch and should be on people's watchlist amongst other doumcaraies like 'Revolution of Our Times' [0] and 'Faceless' [1] which both use the low-tech masks that achieve the same end. Some have said it's a gimmick, which I partly agree, but what it does is serve to re-enforce the fact that these surveillance tools can and should be thwarted using some basic understanding of OPSEC and pre-caution: they didn't mention that the HK Police and CCP gathered a ton of data from the use of data tracking from publicly accessed information when protestors were taking the underground to get to and from protests and were tracked down for violating NSL later on in 2020-22 when the arrests came down and everone from activists to politicians and even media tycoon like Jimmy Lai were taken down with fake charges.

It's sad state of affairs, but it's a reminder of how quickly an affluent, well educated Society can come under the yoke of tyranny and lose decades of progress due the expansion of authoritarianism and should serve as a reminder of why 'this matters' despite it being an unpleasant aspect of 'civic duty.'

That sounds reasonable. Maybe the story included some extra things.

Comparatively, it's a regular occurrence to add at least three files for a Cucumber BDD test:

1. The .feature file and one or more
scenarios.
2. Adding one or more step defs to one
(or more!) step def files.
3. Adding a new page object file or new
methods to an existing page object.
4. Possibly, add them to a component file
and *then* call that from the page
object.

From that perspective, seems the number of files changed is not bad.

I wish I had a representative example on my end. We would be able to see quickly. On the other hand, maybe there was cruft or other extras associated with just starting out with DDD with the existing conventions.

I remember there was another thing that was an issue: updating an aggregate object (?) required manually comparing each field. So the method was having to do that, spanning a page of code.

On balance, DDD affords opportunities to create maintainable code.

Do you have any experiences where the codebase was in a badly-structured form of DDD?

(Given agile development, there are good and bad ways to execute it, for example.)
That's because on Ebay, there's seller feedback, and it's actually useful. People leave negative feedback if there's a problem, and the feedback is specific to that seller. If a seller has been on there for 20 years with a perfect 100% feedback score, you know they're trustworthy, and if they've been on there for 1 week with 0 feedback, you know they're not.

Amazon comingles listings from Amazon themselves, FBA, and independent sellers shipping things themselves, so there's not really a good way of telling if you'll have a good experience or not.

I have a Pixel 6 running GrapheneOS, and the one time I called 112 in the Netherlands it worked. Hard to extrapolate from that one data point though.

It's a bit of a bother that this is not something you can test at any reasonable scale. “Just testing if my call gets through” is not something you want to see inundating emergency call centres.

First - I think you are wrong about "war" part. I'm reasonably sure that global military industrial complex mostly uses digital money transfers. I think what you were talking about was a small scale rebel or terrorist armed operations, but those are rounding errors in the scale of proper war industry.

Second - you are quite right that cash is used for that and without it such activities will greatly diminish. Though I suspect that they will switch to barter economy.

Third - that will happen soon. Some governments are already restricting cash, though mostly the ones that are doing so are fighting not against wars or cartels, but against their local oligarchs funneling money from the country (the same problem I described in other comments). Many countries have already restricted moving cash across the border, so there it's not used for this a lot.
Unix timestamps can represent dates *before* 1970, by using negative numbers.

Yes, it's typical syntax in the English language to separate vowels in that manner. English has lots of very little foibles like this (Y is sometimes a vowel) that you would be privy to unless you're a native speaker, so I can understand why you'd be confused, take a look here [0] for more info.

How old is this story? The news report is from 2 days ago, but surely in 2022 the person filming the TikTok video wouldn't call a Pixel 6 a "brand new $1,000 Google phone"?
Yeah, I use it quite a lot on stuff generated by Midjourney and the results are always great.
Not sure why they don't say it by name but the bug was originally found with MS Teams.

At least they tried and brought in an implementation partner. I've been (still am) watching one where the teams were left to figure out the new processes pretty much by themselves. And because each enterprise software comes with new processes, new data models and new stakeholders, because team A has different ideas than team B and the 10000ft view ignores by definition all "trivial" details, guess what's going down in flames?

you can't regulate the output from nuclear reactors fast enough

From the article:

"The company touts the microreactor’s solid core and advanced heat pipes, which enable passive cooling and also allow for autonomous operation and load following."
You are incorrect twice. First internet usage really didn't change much from the 90s, the fact that we have wider pipes, didn't change content types at all. Second - NOBODY was saying that internet has no use case or no future in the 90s. Tokenbros are just retconning the history saying such bullshit.
I think with cane toads, the lethality and sheer number has very different implications. There are many species in Australia that are on the brink of extinction, whereas in other continents that have been affected longer by human intervention the species loss has already happened.
Can we also have a lawyers.txt?
Yes. From memory we had a specific SIM which was registered with 999. We dialled up, gave a password of the day, and asked them what info they could see about the call. They could see IMSI, IMEI, Cell Location and other things like that.

(A couple of decade ago now - my memory might be inaccurate.)
Thanks for the explanation - it's good to hear a little about this. I have a couple of questions.

> But in fact, whenever a message lands on your UI, you emit a View (https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-view) event on the message you just viewed. And so people who follow you will see that view, and that's how content makes it way around.

Do you have to push a button to share it in some way? How do you stop all content traversing the entire graph of people if it's shared as soon as it's automatically displayed on your UI?

> In real world communities, you trust some people, and so you are wiling to spend time listening to them. These could be family, friends, actors, politicians etc.

How does this relate to echo chambers? It sounds as though it would be hard to avoid creating one.
Yep, Pocket has an API for this.
That depends on how much time and how much money one has, doesn't it?

I suppose that time quickly becomes the more limited and precious of the two so the more money available the less time you're probably willing to spend solving problems yourself unless you think it is critical for you to be involved.
You’re an absolute champion! Thanks mate :)
