> I'm squeamish about genetic research

Can you elaborate on what makes you squeamish about research?
My favourite tmux trick only works on an apple gb keyboard:

set -g prefix `
bind-key e send-prefix

Then, all your tmux controls are one left pinky press away (` is beside z on uk Mac keyboards).

(`e sends a ` for when you need it, rare though, $() is better for sub shells :})
Yes, it would be a braking force on the car. You've basically made one of those "magnet in a copper pipe" toys (the pipe is the car).

If you make them electromagnets and drive turn just so as the car passes, now it's a linear motor and would work to accelerate the car (this is how some rollercoasters work), but still doesn't magick energy out of the ether: something has to generate that power.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, and there's certainly no such thing as a lunch you get paid to eat.
I own one of these too. Sounds like it might be similar location to ush, as I deal with snow, sheep, etc.

I got mine during my windfall cash earning years in big corp. Great economics for a large W2 earner: 30% funding from gov, 30% funding from immediate depreciation, and you can lever the rest. Infinite IRR.

There are a whole network of developers who package the deals and then match it with financing. I still can't believe every dentist in America doesn't own one of these....
By the way, how much money does a copyright-judge make on a case like this, typically?
A plan in case we're really desperate. Gas stations already have large tanks full of gasoline. They burn that gas in generators to charge batteries to charge EVs from. No need for extra infrastructure except the generator: the energy is delivered to the gas station in the usual way, a truck. Then gradually build the infrastructure and deliver electricity directly to the gas station, that won't be _gas_ anymore.
This looks cool.

When you say "4G proxies", are these devices that route their traffic over 4G connections via the mobile network? So you are using the IP ranges of telecommunications companies rather than clouds?

Also, how do you protect against customers doing illegal things with the IP's that are assigned to your business?
One of the nice things about this tech is that we can adapt over time. Today we might burn some coal or natural gas to generate the additional power we need, which doesn’t help the environment, but tomorrow we can expand the amount of solar, wind, and water energy we produce.
Yes, "enjoyable" is a good metric. Because many projects take a lot of energy (years!) before you could commercially profit.

For me I would also add "usefulness" as requirement or like you say it has to be still "worth it" (commercially or learning stuff etc).

I had several side projects for years, but various realistic evaluations (competition, market size, production maturity, progress) then led me to the conclusion that I had to stop as they got less useful for me. But stopping them is very tricky when you "enjoy" them :)
Anders Puck Nielsen: How is the war going? – Mid-December 2022
I find the complexity graphs to be a little misleading. If the client side complexity grows, but server side complexity doesn't decrease at all, then something has gone wrong.

If you have a fully client-rendered SPA (not saying an SPA is the only thing you should ever build, but many of the complaints seem to be aimed SPAs), then why do you still need Models, Controllers, and Views on the server? Or Routing for that matter. Many modernish SPAs would handle all the routing client side. So your backend complexity might look more like:
Asset Packing, API, Authorization, Dependencies

So you've moved some of the complexity from the server to the client. You may or may not like that, and there may still be a net increase in overall complexity, but it's not the same as necessarily suddenly 2x complexity.

Also I don't know what Authorization is doing in both graphs. Or why Virtual DOM is there - yes you might be using a Virtual DOM, but it's presumably part of one of your dependencies, and not something you're interacting with directly or maintaining. Also what is a "Controller" in React? React (and similar frameworks) don't fit neatly into the MVC paradigm. I guess it's more like Components + Models? Although the Components aren't always cleanly separated from Models/business logic, which can be a strength and a weakness.
It being true does not make it insignificant.
Syntax is good. The hosts are enjoyable and humble, and have had many interesting recent guests, including the founders of Node, Deno, and Bun in the last few weeks…

> Your personal devices are already linked to your name

It is hoped that nobody is so stupid to try that.

> Do you really believe you are anonymous?

I radically believe on that right of so being.

> You would renounce to free 2 years warranty only to pay cash?

Very certainly.

> Why?

Because that is what a Man does.

> what's the reason to keep it secret

Basicmost principle.

> interesting

Monkeys surely are intrigued when they see men acting: they cannot understand. If they had been part of a Civilization, they would know that a Man does not concede on the side of privacy.

> even if you are a criminal

Very obvious, it is expected that criminals be on FB and Tw and smile at Sino-Thatcherian cameras etc.

Nothing new, it is part of the scheme: criminals have something to hide; Men have everything to hide; subjects have nothing to hide.
This is really a sad state of affairs. I’m from the Netherlands (from Rotterdam) and the death of Peter R de Vries (crime reporter) was a real turning point for me to realize that things have gotten out of hand. Now, reflecting on this story makes me think how we get out of this situation.

This looking away is very Dutch but the underlying sense was that there was always this idea that crime kills crime, and people not involved were never damaged. Once a guy got shot and killed down the street of my place, and soon reports started coming that they were involved in the drug trade. Most of the people on my block were like “oh yeah.. that guy.. not an issue was selling all the time.”

With the recent murders on innocent people, we can see that this is no longer the case and something has to be done. But even in high profile cases key witnesses are being murdered days before they take the stand. It’s clear that the government doesn’t have a grasp on this situation and the massive security required for everyone involved is the consequence of this idea. This particular trial seems to be going in the direction of a conviction which is good, but these guys have made enough money to bend anything to there will, and going to prison is not going to stop these guys, especially the type of prisons we have in the Netherlands, and how violent this guys have shown themselves to be.

All that said, we have a long way ahead of us. I can see the digitizations and improvements is labeling making things hard in the port of Rotterdam. But this is one of the largest ports in the world, and it’s easy to pick up something unseen even with the best measures. Demand side management could be an option, but the upper classes love their cocaine apparently.

I can see it getting better, to the old state of things… but the crime will always get smarter as long there is money to be made.

In the case of the cudgel that is the GDPR, distinct from EVERY other data governance rule, there are two unique things:

1. It applies to everyone, with no thought of company residency or size.

2. It applies to all forms of "personal information" and "processing," defined ridiculously broadly.

This means that the following things are technically illegal by the text of the law:

* Storing the email address of an EU-based customer of your consulting shop on a private server not in the EU, and (God forbid) using it to send a sales email to that person.

* Storing the IP address of an abusive user of a SaaS website (in order to block them) if that user happens to be in the EU and your server is not.

Should these be illegal?
A US-centric take if I've ever seen one. Culture in the US is not culture everywhere. Lots of people find the F-150 an absolute abomination.
Trump would often get things right but for the wrong reasons. I call this the "Donald Trump stopped clock principle"
That is preposterous. Cars exist so that people can go where they want.
Rather than allowing nerd academics sitting in ivory towers to control our conversation look outside. Have you lived in a city with high crime rates? I have and my friends/family yearn for the return of days to policing neighbourhoods.
Wealth signaling and its effects are rather depressing. People going into debt to buy a Rolex and a sports car to create the illusion of success is bad enough. Someone falling for an individual mismanaging their own finances to create a lie is quite sad.

I was listening to a pop station yesterday and a song was playing that was like a top 5 of fashion brands, they way the singer kept listing them off. So I think elements of our culture pressure people into doing this kind of painful signaling.

I think signaling or counter signaling should be avoided if you want to preserve your sanity. Find something you’re passionate about and find others who feel the same. Hang out. Make best friends. Date. Get married. Be happy.
Pseudonymous. Just like anyone who is willing to do the work can identify my real identity from my HN writing, a pseudonymous chess handle gives a lot of information. A chess player who wants to be anonymous should not re-use a handle for two games. There is no anonymity anywhere if you provide enough entropy which you do if you use a persistent pseudonym.
This actually encapsulates what AI is. A very good actor.
Legal aid society -- the least worthy source when it comes to policing.
Alas, I have. You can ask the tool to parrot styles that it has already seen, but it cannot tailor the output to fill-in the gaps nor persuade someone (or a group) who is at a particular level of understanding. In human writing, these are the most common use cases.

The reason that I write in this manner is that I'd like to scrub out the notion that computers or software are magical. It isn't helpful to our line of business -- unless you're pitching VC. Most people don't know how stupidly simple computers really are, and unfortunately that includes many developers and tech folks.

What do you sell? As a techie, I have the opposite reaction to seeing Paypal, and would probably avoid a Paypal-only purchase.

I'm gonna lean into newtons third law here. When you pass a magnet through a coil the coil also pushes back on the magnet. So magnets in the ground would essentially be brakes and not a source of "free energy" for the car. That's basically what regen braking is anyways.

I have a propane tank for my BBQ.

All propane tanks around here have a "do not refill past this date" stamped into them.

There are 2 ways of "refilling" a tank -- the first is to swap your tank for another tank that's filled; the other is to go to a place that can refill your tank.

99% of the time when I do the tank swap they try to give me one with an expiration date that's coming up in the next 6 months. I almost never am offered one with a very long expiration date.

Do you really think that, in a situation where you own your car and battery, you'll reliably get a battery that's as good or better than the one that's in your car? Keep in mind the value of the vehicle is 40-80% tied up in _only_ the battery.

Battery swaps aren't a realistic plan unless someone else owns the battery, and then you'll get all sorts of other nonsense in the ecosystem.
Interestingly enough, one of the stated goals of kitty is to make the usage of tmux unnecessary.

Considering your comment (and many others like it), I don't think that has quite worked out.

Still, kitty is one of my favorite terminal emulators and I'd urge anyone who hasn't tried it to give it a shot.
I don't want to make assumptions, but it's my understanding that they're usually on finance which means they're paying much more than sticker price.

I certainly don't know many middle class people with 70k in savings to throw around, either everyone is doing a lot better than they otherwise expose or there's easy money on the table.

I think we'll see price corrections downward for cars over the next 5 years, as interest rates change. I've asked a handful of importers while I try and source a car from Japan, with the Japanese import market being hyper inflated. They've all suggested that during the pandemic, financed purchases were making up the majority of their sales. I imagine that's set to change as interest rates change and loans get harder to acquire.
I think you're wrong. I suspect most people on HN have an above average interest in physics and would therefore have a reasonable understanding of the Kelvin temperature scale.
You know? When I say "problem solver", it might be more like that than I realized.

Nothing criminal, of course, but in the sense that I'll get the job done whatever it takes.
You missed the part where the maid serves little burgers on buns as lunch.
Maybe I'm keeping the wrong people around, but no, not everybody is solving problems.

Many seem to be unable or unwilling to figure out anything that is outside of their happy path through the day.
...that's why you call the bank in front of the buyer to verify it was legitimately issued?

You don't need to visit the bank, just phone. There's no reason you should fall for a scam like that.
Huh? There's a lot of things everywhere. Not just in tech. It seems like you're taking fomo quite seriously. I suggest that you just stop giving a shit. Or maybe resign yourself to the fact that you've been working in software for almost 20 years and all of the stuff that doesn't concern you actually doesn't concern you.
Could you please share your script?
> petty thieves

This is because the police in the system are, largely, more worried about going after crimes for larger numbers/institutions. IE: A city walmart will stage police, and pay for them.

A police organization will focus on whatever channel the support comes from.

In addition to being largely built on the idea of escalation instead of compassion.

Look at the use of the word “petty” - to the person who’s entire life is on that phone it is not petty at all.
There are dozens of us! Dozens! :}
I'm one of the hosts for Software Engineering Radio.

https://se-radio.net

From the About page:

Software Engineering Radio is a podcast targeted at the professional software developer. The goal is to be a lasting educational resource, not a newscast. Now a weekly show, we talk to experts from throughout the software engineering world about the full range of topics that matter to professional developers.
It's seems to be hard for people to imagine there are more channels than Twitter. They are on twitter, everybody they know is on twitter, and by that they judge everything.
Exactly.
To me, a $500k unnecessary renovation throws more money away than a $70k vs $40k car.
At least with the car you are likely getting safety features and extensive sensor suites for driver assist for the money, that have tangible impact on your driving experience.

Or Spending 5-10x on a $10k appliance where a $1-2k one would do. These people tend to get the whole set, so it's a good $30-40k worth of kitchen appliances that could easily be replicated for $5k total otherwise.
Does a better fridge/freezer really help you cook better? Do even most experienced cooks get noticeable benefit of a $10k range or oven?
The conversation around Go on HN is as broken as a political discussion on Facebook. It’s pathetic.
Trained on what though? Procuring training material ain't no trivial feat., in-fact it might be even more elaborate to do. This is where Google has home advantage. They have their own copy of the internet.
It is just scraping and reorganizing words while including words from your prompt in the equation. I already mentioned that the style (gangster) and vocabulary (JavaScript) can come from different scanned documents. Cool? Yes. Is it learning, or understanding? No.
> transitioning from Python ... the true "one way to do it" philosophy

I love this :)
The only way we've been able to keep people from having cheap products is via regulation. Will governments really regulate that poor people are not allowed to have robots? Maybe, but that is closer to my "AI winter" scenario. My "AI summer" thesis is based on products approaching the cost of raw materials with services approaching the price of electricity.

> They sync 2fa codes to your Microsoft account.

This seems like a large amount of trust to be placing in Microsoft, since anyone with access to your account would also have access to your shared secret for every site. I would wager that they also would have access to your communications medium and password stores as well, in most cases, since you'd likey have bought in to the wider ecosystem.

Or do they encrypt it client side?
you're omitting "the" when using capitalized nouns. except when prepending "new"

in a way, I understand that the function of "the" is some kind of emphasis (or something). The answer you seek is not syntactic, but semantic.

I liked the movie... But which one?

I liked Movie-Title. Now there's no doubt which one was it.

My point is that to say "I installed THE python 3" could be understood as a sort of emphasis... I installed THE python 3 could signal (in the appropriate context) that you did not install python 3 from the conda foundation but the one from THE PSF (this is a shoddy example, but this is a random comment on the internet)

I watched Star Wars. I watched THE ('complete', or 'original', or 'new') Star Wars trilogy
Maybe the strategy here is to just not make any blunders.
>Because the US has both historically demonstrated will and irrefutable capacity to pay its debt...

'will' hardly comes into it. It hardly matters if I'm 'willing' to pay my debts, if I don't actually have the money to do so. And if the US has 'irrefutable capacity' to pay its debts, how come the debt keeps increasing, instead of decreasing?

At the end of the day, the entire western capitlist system is a huge house of cards. which would collapse if all the debts were ever called in. But, since the US is the driver of said sytem, the world turns a blind eye to the fact that, if the US was a person, it would be bankrupt.

Instead, --like someone living beyond their means but buying a lottery ticket every weekend-- they just keep on printing more dollars and borrowing more money, in some kind of vague expectation that 'something' will sort it all out in the end.

And these people have the gall to point the finger at cryptocurrencies and label them a 'Ponzi scheme'
I too try my best to learn and use colloquialisms. Excessively formal language is very academic, something you learn in a school rather than by actually communicating with other humans. Inability to understand and communicate using informal language and slang marks us as foreigners. Even subtle differences in word choice can sound weird to native speakers.

I test my fluency by attempting to pass off as a native speaker on the internet. If anyone ever suspected I'm not a native speaker, they never told me. I was once unmasked in an old video game though because of a mistake specific to that game and people from my country, a mistake I had internalized since childhood. That was quite shocking to me...
“A apple,” a grammatical mistake yes, but always makes me smile because it reminds me of the Honeymooners episode where Ralph Kramden gets stage freight presenting he “handy housewife helper” ending his latest get rich scheme.

That's exactly the language I want as well. A mashup of Go and Rust that keeps the best of both. Also, don't forget "compiles fast"! And the garbage collector, although I'd love a language that allowed me to handle memory as well.
Thanks for sharing this. I would love to know if there is a printer brand that I could buy in 2022 and not be held hostage by something like this.
Sweet.

I am trying to see if I can convince it to send me canvas or svg instead. So far no luck. It's a stubborn fella.
This is a wonderful outcome and amazing science and all involved are to be commended for saving this girl's life.

However would it not make more sense to try and prevent the disease in society, since there is a viral component to it? It is a retro-virus and was first discovered in 1977. Is there even research on a vaccine? We have one for cervical cancer. (Hit's a nerve since I have a child with Lymphoma)

Something, something Sherrie Levine :)
I believe that AI will reduce the amount of code software developers write, but writing code is the least important thing we do. The most important is taking nebulous, sometimes contradictory requirements and restating them in such a way that it can be executed by a machine. In my experience, most people don't have the wherewithal or desire to do this. So, I'm guessing coding might go away soon, but software developers will be around for a long while.

I think the key is to focus and prioritize whatever you want or need in life. I actually find a lot of the content on HN to be uninteresting and maybe click on one or two links a week. I’ve also landed on this state after an 8 year career where I feel pretty good about what I know already and that I can learn what I need to learn. Over my life, I’ve learned a lot of stuff in many different fields; I don’t limit myself to tech. For example, I love cooking, making music, drawing, and reading about and practicing mental health.

If I find something I genuinely want to learn, it’s just a matter of spending focused time learning it. I also believe it’s important to know when to cut off an interest that is no longer serving you. While discipline is important to push through discomfort and overcome adversity, it’s really silly to be wholly invested in a topic or hobby that brings you no value in life. That value can be monetary or happiness or growth. But it’s important to know that you don’t have to know everything and it’s really silly to do so. There will always be something you don’t know.

For you, maybe ask yourself why do you want to know all these things? Maybe you can identify if they serve you in a way. Of those that you believe will make your life better, spend 30 minutes every day or every other day learning from the ground up about the topic. Maybe put it into practice, or just take a course on it. Regularly reflect on if this is what you want to be doing, if your making meaningful progress towards whatever goal you have, and celebrate your successes!
I wasn't asking for perfect preferences. I was asking for minimal cognizance, which the tool cannot provide. ChatGPT is more like a parrot than tech dreamers like to admit.
This uses high speed ADCs to capture the signal. Anyone know the bandwidth of VHS? If it's narrow enough, using a much cheaper SDR could be an option.

The usage of a DC blocking capacitor implies it's not baseband.
