I have that scanner you're talking about and a Nikon V ED. The Nikon with 'only' 4000dpi massively out-resolves the V850. It's true resolution is somewhere just over 2000dpi and that's after adjusting the trays height.

Because of that I only use the V850 for 4x5 and 120. It's a waste of time for 35mm even if it's quicker to scan multiple frames.
Just yesterday I scanned my signature and added it to Adobe Reader. It even automatically made it transparent in a correct way. It didn’t add noise though.

Trying to make Solid/ChiselStrike stack work. It has its rough edges but I am trying to iron them out so its reusable for all my projects going forward.

https://github.com/learn-anything/learn-anything

Reasoning behind the stack is that I feel productive in Solid and it's plenty fast on first load and as SPA when fully loaded. I love the component model and JSX.

ChiselStrike is new to me but I was looking for something that lets me declaratively manage my schema. I checked https://entgo.io (it produced too many Go files to my liking), also Prisma (https://www.prisma.io), found it bit complex to get started with.

I also checked https://www.edgedb.com and it's nice but with ChiselStrike I can deploy it with LibSQL (fork of SQLite) and replicate it so responses should be plenty fast and I can build on top more easily.

For native apps will use SwiftUI composable architecture when it comes to it. React Native code sharing seems nice but Solid doesn't have a React Native alternative yet sadly.
> it was almost certainly not individual error. At places like NYSE you pretty much always have 2-3 people who should be in a position to catch a mistake like this.

That's exactly the point that is being made here. Either the message being put out by the NYSE claiming this was an error by one individual is true -- in which case, NYSE leadership is to blame for setting up a process that allows catastrophic consequences for a single individual's error, OR the message being put out by the NYSE is a fabrication designed to redirect blame at some scapegoat, in which case NYSE leadership is to blame for putting out a false or misleading statement.

[Edit: It seems I misunderstood -- attributing this to an individual was done by reporters and rumors, not by a formal statement from NYSE.]
Show HN: Turbolink - Paid links to self-hosted content
Since the start of the New Year, I have been working on a new platform/tool to help others create paid content, called Turbolink. It's like Patreon or Gumroad, except it takes a much lower percent of the earnings and lets users self-host their content, while still encrypting their content to keep it secure. I would love to hear your feedback and comments!

Not much. While this may keep you out of jail, it will not prevent you from being raided at four in the morning and having your pets shot and all your computers seized for months.
They are taking responsibility. They are just delegating the consequences to their staff. I suspect this will change soon. Activist investors are already surrounding companies like Salesforce and I can see CEOs being promoted sideways (board member only).
The CEO of Toyoda is becoming the chairman of their board, that doesn't feel like a CEO being replaced as punishment for poor performance in the way that people are talking about in this thread. But even when CEOs are fully ousted over issues, the golden parachute makes it barely feel like a punishment anyway. I'm having trouble thinking of a case where a CEO actually seemed to be significantly financially impacted by such an event, though maybe FTX will provide an example shortly.

Working on the repo desk of a large Japanese bank in New York in the 90’s. There was a big (both in font size and magnitude) number that was on the upper left of the blotter system that ran on every traders desk, which represented the total we had to borrow that day to fund the banks trading book. There would be a number below it which would represent how much we had borrowed so far.

It was “too important to automate” so a trading assistant keyed it in every morning. One morning he typed the wrong number and the mistake was in the billions digit.

At 2:45 “the cage” called the repo desk and said “You know you guys are still short a billion, right?”

There was then a flurry of activity as traders got on the phone to try to borrow a billion dollars in in fifteen minutes, while also trying to not let on we were kind of over a barrel. The head of fixed income prepared his explanation to the Fed about why we needed to borrow a few hundred million overnight.

The number got automated in our next release, and the open procedure was changed to the trading assistant verifying the number against the “cage” report.

OpenVPN Data Channel Offloading in Kernel
Data channel offloading with ovpn-dco - released yesterday 2.6.0+ implements support for data-channel offloading where the data packets are directly processed and forwarded in kernel space thanks to the ovpn-dco kernel module.

> It wasn't that "no one" wanted to hear them, but that the people that controlled the platform didn't want others to be able to hear them.

More accurately, it was because they repeatedly broke the terms of service and the companies were no longer willing to use their resources to provide free amplification for them. They had legal agreements with the platform and despite many warnings and leeway which isn’t extended to most people, chose to break the contracts.

> While adding F#, even if more expressive, it barely makes sense from business point of view.

F# code is much more reliable and requires much less people to write. Isn't this good for business?

The only problem with F# is it's not always immediately readable to those who are not familiar with it (so it's harder to find the people to hire), isn't it?

I just wonder how much harder it is to teach a random person (without even a rudimentary programming skill) to code F# than to teach them C#.
Aren't there multiple companies (I don't want to promote any) doing just that: being intermediaries with corporate entities everywhere to enable other companies to hire locally?
Should You Be Investing in Stringed Instruments?
There is going to be a lot of this happening. With lawyers, doctors, journalists, all kinds of expensive experts and consultants are going to face some competition from tools like this used by their customers to reduce their dependence on expensive experts or at least to get a second opinion; or even a first opinion.

Whether that's misguided or not is not the question. The only question is how good/valuable the AI advice is going to be. Initially, you might expect lots of issues with this. Or at least areas where it under performs or is not optimal. But it's already showing plenty of potential and it's only going to improve from here.

It's natural for experts to feel threatened by this but not a very productive attitude long term. It would be prudent for them to embrace this, or at least acknowledge this, and integrate it in their work process so they can earn their money in the areas where these tools still fall short by focusing less on the boring task of doing very routine cases and more on the less routine cases.

Same with doctors. Whether they like it or not, patients are going to show up having used these tools and having a diagnosis ready. Or second guessing the diagnosis they get from their doctor. When the AI diagnosis is clearly wrong, that's a problem of course (and a liability issue potentially). But there are going to be a lot of cases where AI is going to suggest some sane things or even better things. And of course no doctor is perfect. I know of a lot of cases where people shop around to get second opinions. Reason: some doctors get it wrong or are not necessarily up to speed with the latest research. And of course some people can't really afford medical help. That's sad but a real issue.

Instead of banning these tools, I expect a few years from now, doctors, lawyers, etc. will use tools like this to speed up their work, dig through lots of information they never read, and do their work more efficiently. I expect some hospitals and insurers will start insisting on these tools being used pretty soon actually. There's a cost argument that less time should be wasted on routine stuff and there's a quality argument as well. AIs should be referring patients to doctors as needed but handle routine cases without human intervention or at least prepare most of the work for final approval.

Same with lawyers. They could write a lot of legalese manually. Or they could just do a quick check on the generated letters and documents. They bill per hour of course but they'll be competing with lawyers billing less hours for the same result.
Not GP:
If you make it normal to check in credentials and keys, then the risk of accidentally checking in prod secrets increases. It's basically making it comfortable for devs to deal with keys in repos and I think that's inherently dangerous.

People don’t like running their own server. In public key infra like nostr and farcaster, you get the non-custodial ownership of your account without the technical and cost barriers involved in running a server.
It can't. It really can't. Even with betterscanning.com holders you can't beat dedicated film scanners or dlsr scans. Drum-scan obviously being the best. I've never wet mounted on flatbeds so can't comment.

My almost 2decades old Nikon V-ED, which I bought when it came out, still outperforms the most expensive flatbed you can buy now (V850-pro), which I also have.

I live in ljubljana, and the same is happening here too...

Prague, bratislava, budapest, vienna,... it's all the same.. buildings are slightly different, landmarks slightly different, but the general feeling inside the "old town" centers is the same... pretty much same restaurants selling same overpriced food, same stores selling same made-in-china souvenirs and some obscure "locally made" stuff that's useless and way too expensive, same boat tours, same bike/scooter guides, same weird hidden supermarkets for the last few locals still living there... same tourists, same loud spanish girls, same japanese people with huge cameras, same groups following the same guides holding up same flags and umbrellas not to be lost in the crowd, same tourist cards, same corruption with guides (recommending shitty restaurants that pay the guides to steer tourists there)... it's kinda sad to me personally... tourism has destroyed so much sadly.

The list of managers stating that "they were taking responsibility" and then immediately stepping down was always fairly short.
You are talking about houses (constructions) being seen as temporary, but people still often own the land, they just want to build a new house where their parents' stood. The point (2) I was talking about would mean that they lose the land after 99 years.
Not really better at all, but I feel this is a bit contrived example. If it really is just numeric addition that just let the compiler do its job, otherwise I’m sure there are better names for whatever you actually try to do. And, random helper variables are a thing even in math, you don’t name the thing the way you calculate that thing because then you don’t spare any character.
I think the joke is the inscarcity of tech groups that have chosen an aviation-themed .io domain to show off their venture.
> visual, smell, touch etc. don't help learn the grammars of (spoken) languages.

Of course they do! These are literally the things children learn to associate language with. "Ouch!" is what is said when you feel pain.

An ML model can learn to associate the word "ouch" with the words "pain" and "feel", but it doesn't actually know what pain is, because it doesn't feel.

One could also argue the real problem is the tech industry constantly ignoring regulations that were put in place for good reasons. Car dealerships are for sure a clear example of regulatory capture, but “legal advice from lawyers”, “medicine from doctors”, “insurance from companies that can prove they can pay out”, and “equities backed by actual assets” all exist for good reasons.

>it seems presumptuous to believe that humans will suddenly figure out a way to do the same thing a trillion times more efficiently.

Nature isn't efficient. Humans create things many orders of magnitude more efficient than nature as a matter of course. The fact that it didn't take millions of years to develop even the primitive AI we have today is evidence enough, or to go from the Wright Brothers' flight to space travel. Or any number of examples from medicine, genetic engineering, material synthesis, etc.

You could say that any human example also has to account for the entirety of human evolution, but that would be a bit of a red herring since even in that case the examples of humans being able to improve upon nature within relatively less than geological spans of time are valid, and that case would apply to the development of AI as well.
It does not sound like cover up to me.

It was simply the explanation of what happened. I didn't get any hint that the said "staffer" will be fired or otherwise punished.

Is there a problem with the system that did not have enough safeguards to let this happen. For sure, but then no system is perfect. This glitch does not happen every day. From memory, I remember a NASDAQ glitch at Facebook's IPO. Let's say there are 2 or 3 glitches like that for major exchanges in one decade. How can you design a system that prevents bugs that show up once a decade?
Ask HN: Where did the verb “vendoring” come from?
"Vendoring" is the practice of importing static versions of dependencies and building your application against those static dependencies rather than building against something managed and fetched by a dependency management system.

Does anyone know the etymology of the word? I've had zero success connecting any dots on this.

Vendors sell things. Dependencies are things.

... ?
But the idea is, that this will be scaled up.

But yes, most people are not good at math or basic science, to understand the proportions.
It can be gamed too. I remember a thing a long time ago that would make commits to a repository to give it space invaders in the grid!
Murder requires intent. Killing by accident is manslaughter.
My current go-to are:
1. Go (echo/gin) or Rust(actix/axum) (old-fashioned server-side rendered HTML)
2. alpine.js
3. htmx.org
4. tailwind

I've found that combination to give me amazing DX and appropriate speed of development.
Maybe supply chain issues? Or just because having different parts is a hassle (possibilities for mix-ups etc).
I would not switch out NextJS for a SSG. NextJS can do SSG. But most SSG frameworks can't do SSR nor CSR.

It would be great to have Google Search product that only searches for blogs as they usually have more in-depth knowledge than what you can find in other mediums (other than books or actual courses but they usually suffer from having too much water or including things that aren't that relevant for my search).

I am not sure if there is such already but it would definitely be more useful nowadays when Google Search top results are just SEO-spam or ads.

EDIT: I just got a genuine "oh wait..." moment. There indeed was a Google Blog Search product and, of course, it was killed ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Blog_Search )
I think it’s more important to focus on core skills.
