If it's venting in the room it's a filter, not a extractor
This is actually being changed and was discussed here on HN[0].

Note that I am not the person who started this comparison.

I also would not store value long term in dollars anyway - I would care more about other things. Where cryptocurrencies are even worse when compared to dollars.
ChatGPT seems to be immediate mode and has no delay functionality, good to know! Also got a laugh when it counted down by 5 immediately.
It feels more like the general attitude is “you should be glad we’re letting you give us your money. Now shut up and go away.” You’ll never get an apology, never get an easy refund because they goofed up. No. You’ll struggle, waste your time, and get nowhere.

But I guess this is an EU thing compared to what I’m used to in Canada and the US.
Links does.
I'm curious how all these advancements in AI will impact KYC and identity authentication. It's already easy to scrape OSINT to pull the answers needed for most people's knowledge based authentication sequences. Will we hit the point where fake passports, IDs, and biometrics (including voice prints here) can be replicated undetectably? If so, what will become the standard for identity authentication?
It would be nice if we were at 100% signing, but currently we're at ~0%, and the transition is going to be rough.
There was a time period in the 1950s where Americans became obsessed with Hawaii vacations (likely due to the affordability of air travel) and companies started using Hawaii themes in all kinds of branding. I wouldn't be surprised if Toast Hawaii was spillover from that (as vacationing in Hawaii was much less affordable to Germans and thus most exposure to it was second-hand from US media portrayals). I'd also not be surprised if the association with pineapple and cheese somehow made it back to the US (possibly by proxy, e.g. via European immigrants to North America) only to be "invented" by some Canadian guy.

Given that a lot of origin stories tend to be created after the fact (e.g. infamously the board game Monopoly's origin story is largely fabricated as it was obviously based on an existing game already widely referred to as "the monopoly game" which in turn was originally based on "The Landlord's Game") I'm cautious about direct attributions without clear evidence.

It's entirely possible that "baked pineapple and cheese" already existed as a niche topping at the time the first restaurant offically added it to their menu. Interestingly Toast Hawaii may have been inspired by the American "grilled spamwich", which also included pineapple and (shredded) cheese but instead of cooked ham used spam, which wasn't available in Germany at the time.
I've long suspected that tidal forces from our moon may be a big factor in keeping the outer core liquid, and thereby keeping our magnetic field active. I have no idea if that's actually true, but if it is, both rotation and a large moon might be requirements for advanced life.
It’s extremely common in older buildings which weren’t originally built with a vent but builders often try to hide it. I know multiple people with fairly expensive homes where the builder did that because, for example, code required the exhaust output to be a certain distance from an adjacent building which would have required ducting when their building was converted into condos.

It is indeed almost pointless. If there’s a filter it does at least help a little but many people wouldn’t even know to think about maintaining a filter.
One of the perks of crypto losing value. GPUs finally being used for breakthrough research, rather than pyramid schemes.
Part of one of my merit badges back in my youthful boy scouting days was being able to demonstrate how to turn a pair of pants (jeans iirc) into a temporary life jacket.

Seems like a good mechanic to understand for worst case scenarios if a person is on/near water with any frequency https://www.artofmanliness.com/skills/outdoor-survival/how-t...
> trying to boycott Chinese made goods, regardless the cost. I'm in the position to be able to do that

Really? Did you post your comment by carrier pigeon?
Photoshop and minor video manipulation is enough to trick people into believing fake news, this will make it harder. I see political parties doing simple edits to make people believe anything, this will push it multiple notches higher.
That's.. incredible. Why is it used at all then? It sounds like worse than not using it.
If I'm not venting outside when I'm frying something then the smoke alarm goes off too.
'Sony sees cars — and EVs in particular — as a crucial platform for the future of its tech and entertainment products.'

The whole thing feels very gimmicky. Historically base level cars were always dependable basic transportation with a few luxury models with bells and whistles.

This thing feels as though it's overloaded with cruft, will probably have terrible basic range and reliability. It's like the pre iphone mobile phone ui's where people just wanted to text and call but they had all kinds of weird icons, silly names and shovel ware baked in and the basic functionality was weak.

amazing how this plays out over and over again.
Is it just me or is "AI" focused very much on fooling human perception, lately? AFAIK, we have no deterministic algorithm that can tell us whether synthetic language sounds "human", have we? So essentially, that model has been trained to fool human perception. Similarly, ChatGPT is not trained to output sensible and meaningful statements but rather statements that appear to be to a human reader.

Would not not be time to measure a model's success on the actual job? Like feeding a simulator with actual data from real-world traffic scenarios and running Tesla's, or any other company's, autopilot in it?
I coded up a snippet to make the hide button not load a new link after one is hidden. This way I can hide everything that I don’t care and only see 2-3 threads when I come back to HN, saving me a ton of time not having to scan the whole page for new stuff.
command or control + in your browser takes care of that.

I have to disagree.

The SBB (Swiss Rail) is now using a quite sophisticated TTS system
[1] that sounds very clean and has a Swiss German accent in the high German its talking (Zürich accent based which is what most of the complaints are about). The old system was built using over 10k recording which was a enormous task

The system now is able to announce pretty much anything including reasons for delay etc. and it does not sound like a bunch of recordings attached to each other.

I am hoping it will be expanded eventually to switch accents depending on the region just how it already switches to French or Italian depending where you are.

RISC-V would be seen as an "average" modern ISAs.

Like everything, it comes with trade-offs, and here some ISA design choices come straight from the experience accumulated on advanced CPU design. For instance, if I did understand well, the handling of arithmetics flags in RISC-V is what it is because of it makes out-of-order CPU design way easier.
Shoes are going to be rather different if you can’t use leather or plastic in their construction. Rubberized cloth in the cold and wet? Is it ethical to use wool, as a whole lot of thermals are plastic? Many recycled plastics.
I think this idea is naïve.

The progress of medicine have never been perfectly distributed, but they are mostly widely available after a relatively short time.

I don't see why any process of life extension would not follow the same pattern.

The power of wealthy/powerful individuals is directly related to how many less wealthy individuals are willing to work for them in exchange of money/power.

A rising tide is lifting all the boats.

If you take the opposite stance, would reducing humanity lifespan be a good thing to fight inequality?

I think this is the opposite, regardless of income/wealth/power distribution, at the individual level, a longer lifespan would increase freedom and real wealth.
A.I. Turns Its Artistry to Creating New Human Proteins
Agreed. The time between now and then is much scarier.

Companies can't even wrap their heads around sim swapping scams and social engineering of secret questions.
There's a warning in the article that the official Zero case does not support the new camera. According to the specs it is around 30% thicker than the original camera module, and the fish eye variant is even thicker still. Many cases fit pretty tightly and will not be compatible.
There have been some pretty big advances in the last few months in machine learning.
It looks like the original source for the study is https://clasp.ngo/research/all/eu-gas-cooking-health/

The currently linked article is only a very brief summary.
Except when you're talking over a phone call that sounds like two tin cans connected with a string even on a good day.

I'm regularly astonished at how bad international calls in particular have become, and you're regularly subjected to these even domestically, since so many call centers are in the Philippines or India these days. And this despite bandwidth being cheaper than ever.
To do that, any meaningful communication will have to be recorded to be signed by the person, on a device provided to them by their Trust Authority company. Can't be just any device, because the chain of custody is as strong as its weakest link. Depending on the country, the Trust Authorities will be private companies with large regulatory exposure, like banks, or just governments themselves.

But hey, at least this will solve the problem of journalists quoting people out of context: they won't be able to claim you've said something without you personally signing off on it with your cryptographic key.
Every week I spend at least a few hours volunteering for the NGO team as it isa good way to relax and stay out of our daily troubles. Working with an NGO teaches you many life lessons that benefit your professional life and the values you gained will always stay with you. Let’s see some of the skills NGO volunteers develop after joining an NGO.
We are calling it the iPhone (2007)
Yes it seemed to change around the 90s in the UK.

My local roundabout was a flat metal thing 3 ft off the ground with only tarmac to cushion the fall, and the slide must have been 18 ft tall. The monkey bars were more than tall enough for an adult, again with the same tarmac.

And the tarmac was ancient with loose gravel, so you got stones embedded in your grazes.

Them were the days!
A person I know whose initials are actually ASDF complains that it’s always taken as a user name.

(Although she does enjoy initialing things with just her first and last initial - AF)
From what I can see this is comparing shader languages weighing pros and cons.

To use an analogy.
Think of Vulkan, Metal, DirectX 12 (DX12) as different database engines. They run compute/render shaders which are incompatible dialects of each other (like Oracle SQL != Postgres SQL != MySQL). WGPU tries to be the ANSI SQL.

This an oversimplification ofc. Today most shaders compile to an intermediate form Spir-V which then targets different backends and can lead to some funny translation.

How to let others make mistakes so they learn more efficiently during work hours without crashing production.
Funny how that has became real way faster than the hoverboards.
EV is really a general statistic term.
my point is clearly not about the reality of climate change. earth changed climate a millions time this is a known fact. the intangibility is obvious its been decades and no one is able to tell what will happen exactly even next week or in one month. I don't understand your reaction.

my point is about why vc would be interested about "climate tech" as being a new bitcoin. selling stuff and "tech" leveraging the fear mongering that politicians and marketers use to sell climate related goods.

al gore was the flagship person talking about climate and got shilled by pretty much everyone for a decade. he got to do everything with the current politizing and marketing around climate change.

your reaction is similar to a religious person feeling offended for someone opposing your views especially I wasn't even an opponent of climate change merely an opponent of the shills making money out of it
I mean sure we can tell the difference between food cooked on an induction hob and woodfire, same as say a roast slow cooked in woodfire ovens or a smoked barbecue. But the discussion here is between induction and gas, not firewood. Saying that gas hobs add flavour seems a bit of a stretch.
But what if someone comes up with a mod that makes your wifi better by breaking transmit power rules (at the expense of others). Lots of people might use it, and then there are resulting widespread interference problems.

This already exists in multiple forms. It's incredibly easy to import adapters and antennas that give you an order of magnitude more power than you're legally allowed to use. I used one of those setups in high school to run uTorrent over the AP of the McDonald's half a mile away.

Regular folks don't care enough to break the rules.
And Open AI's Whisper, which for me is the cherry on top!
Perhaps it's us that are obsessed about perception rather than substance though? I wonder if it's different from asking a child to memorize for an exam, or investing time in a stylish presentation, etc.

Seems like we're very often interested in something that looks like the job rather than the job itself - maybe because it's more easily measurable? We then took this skewed ambition and developed AI after it.
I think they’re using CO2 as a proxy for air changes with the outside. (It’s tortured language, but there is underlying positive correlation between high observed CO2 from human occupancy and low air changes per hour and between low air changes and higher concentrations of other airborne contaminants.)
KYC isn't about stopping bad guys doing stuff. It's about stopping the government from shutting you down.
There is a bug difference between being fingerprinted by the server that I am trying to log into and sharing (part of) gbag fingerprint publicly.
Or a simple setting that says "no post processing".
It does not create productive hours. One person can achieve quite a lot with additional 2 hours. 120 different people with 1 additional minute wont achieve anything of value in that one minute.
I think it is actually meant to be "scruples" - so it sounds pretty accurate to me:

We do let teenagers into nightclubs for other people in the same age group. See e.g. this (admittedly old) article: https://www.cypnow.co.uk/other/article/youth-nightclubs-club... I don't think these sorts of events are particularly popular, but that's more because teenagers don't seem to be especially interested in them rather than because adults object.

>Is what you're proposing a common position amongst gay men?

What is it that you take me to be proposing? Also, whatever it is, how would I know if it's a common position among gay men?

Or is it that you're just dogwhistling "Are all gay men pedos?" – in which case, the answer is no.
AI is focused on creating electronic humans that are never tired and can do low skill work with some high level directions. It seems like we will achieve this goal, but the companies will own the electronic humans.
The article discusses that Ichiro Mashita is one of the other people who claim to be the creator of the California roll.
Is asian culture, where gas cooking is more essential, having more people asthma? My impression is that western culture has more allergies than eastern ones. Not sure is it because of awareness or other factors. I also read that dust mite might be a major cause for allergies.
I did a swimming lesson and we had to wear clothes (pyjamas).
Except that... while the German-speaking one sounds relatively well, I am definitely unhappy with the new system in French. It sounds more unnatural (and harder to understand in certain cases) than the old system. Maybe it's just a lack of tuning of the French version vs. the German one, but still...
That sounds an awful lot like 'affecting you'.
I managed to get one via a rpilocator.com alert (used the rss feed to send myself an email alert) within about 2-3 weeks of setting it up. It's not perfect but it worked and I managed to get an 8GB Pi 4.
I agree that there is no simple technical solution, but I would argue that we need a social breakthough rather than technological advancement. Our economical and political system has been roughly the same for the last two or three centuries: Nation states, representative democracy, an economy based on wage labor. And although not every country is democratic, some variation of this system has spread almost everywhere.

In the meanwhile we had incredible technological advancements. Electrification, modern chemistry, computers, the internet. What was the last comparable political and social disruption? I'd say the civil rights movement (1960s), or women's suffrage (1920s) were very important. But apart from that, we are mostly running the same social OS since the industrial revolution and the birth of modern nation states.

The ideas of the founding fathers of the US and other thinkers of that era were great in their time - republicanism and a bourgeois revolution - compared to the absolutism that came before. But were are new ideas of this caliber? What is going to be the disrupting new 'tech' in politcal theory?

(I realize it seems silly to jump from TikTok to systemic criticism, but I think in the fringes of the tech sector is a really good place where you can see fast moving technology chafing against fossilized society. And a lot of people here have the desire to make the world a better place - my point is that the way to go is not to invent radical new technology, but maybe by inventing new political ideas.)
I feel you, around the same age I constantly bricked my BIOS. I forgot what motherboard it was. I had to find the same model motherboard from somebody, boot it with their BIOS, swap in when booted and use some rescue floppy to clone to BIOS.

It happened quite a lot. Later I found out that it always happened when shutting down Windows 95. Just turning the power off did not result in a bricked BIOS.

It was also the first time I felt ripped off. I went into a computer repair store with it. Told them what was wrong and how they could fix it. Two days later they told me to collect my PC. They did not fix it because the cause was a bricked BIOS, had to pay all my pocket money for the cost of their 'research'.

Still wonder why shutting down Windows 95 made this happen, never found out, maybe somebody here knows it?
This reminds me of the old purple.com FAQ: https://web.archive.org/web/20020611055145/http://www.purple...

Sadly I just checked the live site and it appears they did sell out in the end.
"Hi mom, it's Chrissy, I am calling you from someone else's phone, my phone got stolen. Do you have a pen handy, I'll wait. Ok, here is my new number, take the old one off your contacts right away, surely some scammer has it, and can you forward me 1000 bucks or so for a new phone, I'll pay it back when I have the new phone set up, here is my account number...."

When it's a text message it's likely going to ring a bell somewhere (hopefully an alarm bell), if it is a voice message and it sounds like the original many more people are going to fall for it.

I would argue that GPT3 is way better at the last task, while also baking it with with a dozen or so made-up previous rulings that nobody will bother to check.
And we have gone to the moon, despite it having been impossible for millennia.

And we understand the basic physics of traveling to another star. The only problem is: it's going to take a ridiculous amount of time, and we don't want to do that for a myriad of reasons (money, risk, time), but if we really absolutely wanted to, we could, and there'd be a non-zero chance we'd succeed. Unlike Michael Jordan jumping to the moon.
It can't be done without paying between 150k and 300k, because that is simply the price for a TLD...

a short how to register your own TLD can be found here: https://dev.to/kailyons/tutorial-make-your-own-top-level-dom...
In Korea you do. In part because of multiple things such as a desire to prevent defamation, which is a big deal in Korea because people take their reputation very seriously and bullying is a big problem as a result, having notably lead to multiple high profile suicides. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Korean_cyber_defamation_...

The laws on libel and slander are notorious for being very alien to westerners. In particular saying something true but bad about someone isn't typically libel in other countries, but in Korea it is: true or false, you shouldn't speak ill of people.

It's a very different society where very different tradeoffs have been made.
There is some basis of the fear of new gTLDs being unfavorable. Remeber free-as-in-beer ccTLDs like .tk? They were (are?) indeed ranked lowered than .com et al due to their nature as being too easy for a spammer to have a new domain. Nowadays though most search engines now include age of domain in their ranking algorithms so this is no longer a real issue.
And then we can use a small software to view tiktok videos, without the need of one of the vanguard/blackrock financed, absurdely and grotesquely massive and complex, web engines (blink/geeko/webkit).
That they can do so without consequences is almost as scary as that they can do so in the first place.
There should be a list of links you've hidden in your profile, you can undo it from there.
The biggest pain point I have with dotfile management is that none of my computers are exactly the same, so if I start pulling dotfiles from a repo I get unwanted configuration on a machine. It could be something as simple as a Vim theme not looking right on another computer because it's using a different terminal.

I guess what I should be doing is adding if statements into all of my config files, but instead I wind up just copy/pasting the parts of config that I like from my github repo and never actually doing real dotfile management. Which just leads to the repo becoming stale.
Shameless plug.

If you prefer an open source / open hardware air quality monitor check out our popular DIY air quality monitor [1]. The built uses high quality sensors for PM, CO2, Temperature and Humidity. You can either build it yourself or get a kit from us with a nice plastic enclosure.

You can also get the SGP41 as an optional module which not only measures TVOCs but also NOx and we can see it reacts to gas ovens/boilers.

Since it is open source, you can either send data to our dashboard or to your own server / home assistant etc. So it does not force you into a subscription or a specific dashboard.
