I see a lot of people mentioning home-manager / nix in the comments. I tried drinking the nix kool-aid and home-manager and all that was a little too much more me and landed on a hybrid approach:

https://github.com/sontek/homies

1. I use a `justfile` that calls `nix profile install ...` to install my packages, rather than using a nix configuration file. This allows me to use a standard package manager workflow rather than going "all in".

https://github.com/sontek/homies/blob/master/justfile#L24-L2...

2. I then use GNU Stow to install my dotfile configuration:

https://github.com/sontek/homies/blob/master/justfile#L93-L9...

I think this is a great middle ground where I can utilize `nix` as my package manager across Linux and Mac and have consistency while not having to learn the whole configuration language or change my workflow.

The other tools I use heavily in my environment:

- https://asdf-vm.com/: I find this better than installing python/node/etc from nix.

- https://github.com/casey/just: I use this as my command runner (similar to make but cleaner in my opinion)

Yeah, we didn't have exactly those in the 80s, but more with planks and ropes (think low-level tree houses).

I've not had a good look at playgrounds the last few years (none where I usually go for a walk), but the ones in my childhood weren't as tall like in the last pictures, but tall enough that I sprained my ankle when jumping down... one day before my first day at school.
Let's summarise here.

You:

[1] apparently didn't read the link and asked foolish questions about it.

[2] I answered your questions.

[3] You attacked me and questioned its usefulness.

[4] I answered that too.

[5] You attacked me again and mocked me.

[6] And now, it's not really clear to me, but you are blaming me for being unhappy that you attacked me?

I don't know if it is possible to block people on HN, but for you, I will try to find out, because you personally have both wasted my time and made my weekend noticeably less pleasant, and now you are mocking me.

This isn't actually that bad if you want wok hei, you can't easily get it on consumer gas stoves either. You can use a blowtorch to get a similar effect as the flames from a high powered burner licking up the sides of the wok [1]. Though, you can't really toss food with an induction stove, so that's a problem. Regardless, I'd still rather have a propane jet engine in the yard lol.

Induction stoves aren't merely a replacement for gas ranges, they bring whole new capabilities to the table. In addition to the precision and speed that you get, you can also cook at drastically lower temperatures than gas ranges are even capable of. In a century, once habits have had time to develop and society has had time to adjust, we'll say "cooking without induction is unimaginable to many people".

I was also surprised. I bought another brand of data logging monitor and could easily see which days were weekends and which days I’d worked from the office or been on a trip.

Really nice! Very clean design, and I really appreciate the details and finish; drag and drop reorder, the time diff based on selection, the reset button after changing time, subtle colon "second" animation on current time. Well done!
*person. One student complained and that's the reason the original comment advocated deportation. Let's say that we were able to find one person of Christian faith who is intolerant, what country should Christians return to? Does this include a lack of religious beliefs? Where do we send anyone who fails to believe in God, much in the same way as one other person on the planet?

I'd recommend against trying to memorize Vim keybindings by position.

1. If you want to learn a non-QWERTY layout (e.g. Dvorak or Colemak), you're going to have trouble. (Although some users to try and go to the effort of remapping to suit the layout).

2. Similarly, you might also have trouble if you get a fancy keyboard that doesn't use a row-stagger, like a kinesis, moonlander, crkbd etc.
I don't read web articles anymore, but I read books
I noticed that I'm no longer reading an article, blog post, etc. I just scroll through it and close the page. It' really very rare that I spend time on some blog post, but I do read books, and I do it more than ever.

Are we slowly losing a joy of reading blog post because there are so many? Are the books gaining popularity again? What are your thoughts?
Ok :-) I suppose it can be hard to not try to improve things, isn't it a bit in some people's nature to want to do that.

Yes, I guess trying to make as much money as one can, until one finds a more constructive workplace, might be a more sanity-preserving approach
Have they fixed the wood burning loophole, where you can burn overseas wood without recognizing any carbon emissions because the carbon accounting places the emissions at the place where the wood was harvested?

>In 1996, scientists at the United Nations devised a method to measure global carbon emissions. To simplify the process and avoid double counting, they suggested emissions from burning biomass should be calculated where the trees are cut down, not where the wood pellets are burned.

>The EU adopted this methodology in its Renewable Energy Directive, allowing energy companies to burn biomass produced in the US without having to report the emissions.

>The accounting method– which was never intended to assign national responsibility for carbon emissions, according to climate experts has created a lot of discussion and disagreement among advocates, scientists and policymakers. But ultimately it is not the accounting of carbon that is the problem, it's the emissions.

>"It doesn't change the physical reality." said Tim Searchinger, senior research scholar at Princeton University. "A law designed to reduce emissions that in reality encourages an increase in emissions... has to be flawed," he said, referring to Europe's directive.

Ask HN: What’s a commercialized version of ChatGPT going to look like?
Now that we know Microsoft is planning to add ChatGPT to Bing it made me think about what that might look… is bing going to become a Chat Bot itself, or will it work in conjunction with a typical search results? I’d much prefer the latter because then you have the best of both worlds. Having access to the source material as well as what I’d call an interpreter of that raw information to answer question given by the user, or to isolate specific sets of information.
IMHO the main skill is to cram it to the minimum necessary MCU as not to make the resulting device too expensive.

It would likely be much easier to use a more powerful MCU, at the per unit cost being higher.

Almost certainly not true. If they could they would make it output sensible and meaningful statements all the time.

Firstly the article says the student is a girl. How much do you really know about her and her attitude if you didn't read that part of the article?

Regarding your experience with a refugee...doing good isn't a cache of poker chips. You can't justify judging a person today based on using something good that you said/did yesterday.

I don't think it's right to say something along the lines of "we might as well send this Sudanese person to Afghanistan for objecting to an image depicting something they consider sacrilegious."

I think you are wrong to frame the situation as a renegade student who is out to wage war. This (along with "if they don't like it, deport em") is a pretty common racist trope that is used to put Muslims down. Not saying that's your intent.

Religious freedom in the US is usually viewed in a way that differs from Europe (esp. France). Rather than forcing people to act or think secularly, Americans try to respect other people's boundaries as they are. It's a fundamentally different concept. No idea where you're from, but based on your attitude toward the meaning of "mutual respect" I'm guessing France.

It is likely that a Sudanese Muslim will view a depiction of the Muslim prophet as impermissible, and that a Persian Muslim will not. Why conflate the two?

There's more context in the school newspaper. [0] "'I am showing you this image for a reason. And that is that there is this common thinking that Islam completely forbids, outright, any figurative depictions or any depictions of holy personages. While many Islamic cultures do strongly frown on this practice, I would like to remind you there is no one, monothetic Islamic culture,' the professor said before changing to the slide that included these depictions."

The lecturer was aware that the images would be considered by many Muslims as forbidden. The head of the university's Muslim Students' Association was in the class. The lecture was on video and undoubtedly reviewed by the administration before they chose to let the adjunct professor go.

To me, it seems like this was a self-own by the lecturer rather than some kind of "war" waged (as you put it) by a student.

It’s different in that with capabilities the choice is no longer allow/deny, but allow/deny/circumvent. The allow/deny choice makes it so that the user is incentivized to allow things they don’t want just to get access to the app. If I can’t use the app without giving it access to my location, then I’m incentivized to just give it access in order to get what I want. Capabilities let you programmatically customize how to manage resources, so you’re not forced to click through just to get to the app.

Furthermore, capabilities are more fine-grained. Today an app will ask for your location and you get to choose yes/no. If you say yes, it has full access to the GPS forever until revoked, sometimes in the background. Give it network access and it has that forever as well, and it can send anything to anyone (including the GPS data you just gave it access to.)

Capability based security would allow you to give it access to the GPS for a limited time, or to give it access to a sensor spoofing service if it really needs that data. If you give it network access it would be for certain times, or it could only send data to a whitelist of servers.

Moreover you can restrict the app from sharing granted capabilities to other apps. Or vice versa, you can delegate apps to work on your behalf and share capabilities with other apps, which you can later centrally revoke or restrict.

It’s really a better security regime than what the major operating systems have ossified around.

If we combine pastures used for grazing with land used to grow crops for animal feed, livestock accounts for 77% of global farming land. While livestock takes up most of the world’s agricultural land it only produces 18% of the world’s calories and 37% of total protein.

Interesting. Providing a translation is an accessibility measure, but it seems that the "fake" here is matching his lip movements to the translation. Almost not worthy of calling it a fake since he (not somebody else) did say those things (in a different language), and it's endorsed by him.

This is a bit of an exaggeration. Plenty of young people hate this stuff enough that they do all of their banking through their phone and if they absolutely must do it on a pc, they either use an old disused laptop, do it at work, do it at an internet cafe (not that those don't bring risks) or make sure to remove the spyware the second they've completed the task at hand.

Bunch of people just stormed the Brazilian government buildings yesterday over a fake "election theft" narrative. This stuff will be constantly tuned until enough people do fall for it, like advertising.

When you download a program from the internets, it does not have access to any of your stuff. Can't read files. Can't make network requests. Can't access cameras or microphones.

You explicitly give it permissions to access something: give it a document you want to edit, allow it to save a result at some location (without giving it an idea what else exists at that location), allow it to connect to certain hosts on the internet, but not others, politely decline a request to use your camera, etc.

Very much like you do with a web app running in your browser.

That's nice to hear. I think you may end up surprised at how many of the certainties of life turn out, on inspection, to be full of qualifications. I can say that's been my experience. To quote Hamlet: "There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Luckily, you don't have to find all the caveats yourself, there are plenty of eager pokers-of-balloons in the world who will gladly point out the flaws in arguments. All you have to do is cultivate a love of the counterargument and many philosophical and political certainties ebb and fade, uncovering very few, very precious leftovers, like a tide going out. Those remnants can't be lost, though, because they are a sort of foundation of your true self. They can be covered over or left to ruin but they're always there for some reason. Thanks for the exchange. Best of luck.

Induction ovens are more efficient than an resistive heating element and can transfer a lot of heat into the pan. Just as much as a flame or even more. The difficulty with woks is that flat induction cooktops are only compatible with flat-bottomed cookware. You need a flat-bottomed wok, or a special concave cooktop made just for woks.

> One of the few things I can currently see GPT do well is helping find legal precedence.

GPT is really not good at finding anything, and actually it can't find anything. It is not designed to do that. It is designed to make things up.

The difference may be subtle, but it is quite important. GPT makes up APIs, citations, tools, papers and rules. It makes up anything really. What it makes up is incredibly plausible, as it was trained to be as plausible as possible, to the point of being correct most of the time, but it still is just making things up.

If you use it with some different expectation you will be disappointed.
I don't know if things changed in the last two (I think?) releases of mac os, but up until my late 2013 MBP was still supported, I absolutely loved Mail.

It's by far what I miss the most since I moved to Linux. Outlook for web wipes the floor with regular outlook IME (it's much, much faster) but it's still a pain to use compared to Apple Mail.

If anyone has any comparable solution for Linux, I'd be glad to know. That would be something streamlined, not having to cobble together random different programs for obtaining the mails from an Exchange Online server, some other app for not-quite-fully-working calendar support, etc.
This claim feels truthy, but is it true? Most of the big models were being trained on specialised hardware like tensor chips right?

And the biggest drop isn’t because crypto is worth less, it’s because Ethereum doesn’t use proof of work since November (Bitcoin hasn’t used GPUs for years). The explosion in novel AI models we saw last year predates this change.
