I'd be surprised if 16" didn't feel cramped to someone. I've used 3 21.5" monitors for over a decade now, and those are starting to feel small. Now my minimum size is around 24" at 1440p.
This quote from Finite and Infinite Games:

"To be playful is not to be trivial or frivolous, or to act as though nothing of consequence will happen. On the contrary, when we are playful with each other we relate as free persons, and the relationship is open to surprise; everything that happens is of consequence. It is, in fact, seriousness that closes itself to consequence, for seriousness is a dread of the unpredictable outcome of open possibility. To be serious is to press for a specified conclusion. To be playful is to allow for possibility whatever the cost to oneself."

Basically, be open to surprises and serendipity. There's lots of room for variation even in that routine. But you can also add things to the routine. Socialization is a major one; it's the 20% of "work" that brings in 80% of the wonderful things in life.

I write lots of small shell scripts and aliases (using bash. I have only one script in zsh that does some globbing that zsh is better at out of the box) to do various things, like managing my music collection (on top of what git-annex does), converting and remuxing files, generating files etc.

The other day I wrote a little shell script to make a command-line radio player, which was rewarding.

I have a little shell script I wrote that is now a cron job on my laptop (running Arch GNU/Linux) that backs up my important files to a cloud using borg. That little bit of automation (a few dozen lines really) has been nice and fun to write, and gives me some good peace of mind.

Admittedly, some of shell script syntax (like that for hash maps) get take some time getting used to and is rather arcane, but I find running little scripts to do various day-to-day things around my life and the house rather fun.
Fixed point fails for just about any financial calcs beyond simple addition. Try doing common compound interest calcs for example, and you'll get much worse answers.

The correct answer is to use floating point and to understand it and numerical software before doing it. If you don't have a decent understanding of numerical analysis, don't write important numerical software.
Because maybe someone else already did, and you found the post, but there's no answer yet
That's right. People forget that dumping plastic tat into landfills is literally carbon sequestration.
Oh no, our community has been incredibly helpful in that regard. They do report things if they see them. I was really pleasantly surprised by that to be fair. And as time goes, you lean who your most valuable contributors are and you start paying closer attention to them. Which is not to say that the automations and bots I made didn't take tons of loads off all mods on the sub.
This story requires one to believe that, on one hand, the mission was so secret that US Special Operations could not be used, because then the "Gang of Eight" in Congress would need to be notified, and according to Hersh that would have been a problem.

But on the other hand, Norway and other countries were invited to be intimately involved in the planning and execution.

This strikes me as rather unlikely.
This would also be interesting for custom car shops, aircraft manufacturers, and many other industries which work with composites, which create a significant amount of epoxy waste.
Great project, congrats for building it!

> Also, there is no native support for sharding or cloud storage APIs like S3. Instead, PhotoPrism prefers a fast, local solid-state drive.

Won't use it myself though, as such solution should be centered around s3-like cloud storage with e2ee. Only the index should be in the server (and backup-ed).
How would you use compiler telemetry to spy on people?
I'm honestly a little surprised it didn't start before then. With the 2008 "Great Recession" I remember quite a few people and teenagers struggling back in my high school. I knew a lot of teens/families who lost their homes, or had to get jobs to support their families etc and drop out of school. I remember that having a big impact in my life, so I get I would have expected that to have had a greater influence.

Isn't it also partly because a weekly release puts everyone watching the show on the same page? This fosters better discussion and group culture, and creates a shared sense of anticipation.
I don't know if it would be good enought for you. But some cameras you can try to simulate film simulations (I own an X100V, but there are many options). It is not perfect but I love the results, one source material that I like is https://fujixweekly.com that have recipes for simulations for fuji, but there are some other resources for Ricoh and Nikon cameras.
I think this is broadly true, but not as true as the quote would imply.

For example, people like 8-bit pixel art and chiptune music, but I don't think anyone misses the 10+ minute load times of the Commodore 64 (or even the 3 minute load times of the PS1). People like the goofy 90's internet with marquee and blink tags, but most people don't miss eight hundred popups happening with every website. People miss the pops and ticks and hiss of vinyl, but I don't think most people miss how expensive and risky music was pre-Spotify[1] (Youtube Music, Apple Music, etc).

I think this quote is being a bit selective with what they're choosing to remember. Yes, there are certain idiosyncrasies and limitations that people grow fond of, but I think there are just as many things that get supplanted and that rightfully get left in the history books.

[1] There were multiple times where I would end up paying upwards of $20 for an album because I liked a single on the radio, only to find that the rest of the album is completely awful. Piracy was honestly made this experience measurably better, and Spotify and its ilk basically made something superior to piracy, completely supplanting it for me.

We have a computer in the kitchen with the simple default photos screensaver pointing to our years of pictures constantly updating. It's really fun to just see random photos of things you've forgotten about. We've all pulled each other to the kitchen to check out a photo or two.
My first thought too. Chat long enough, Sydney will eventually forget everything about themselves.

I wonder if AI chat applications will grow the feature of summarizing their own history prior to running out of context.

I was surprised when I learned that GPT models _weren't_ structured to emit a condensed (and opaque) version of the input tokens which could be fed back in as a "context" parameter, e.g. by inserting a "bottleneck" layer between the input tokens and the rest of the network.
> A Russian passport requires visa application to any of Schengen states. The queues for filing I believe are into months now.

I do not think that this will really be a motivating factor. Schengen visa waiting times would be the least of a stateless person's concerns.

> Indeed, and people who can't be arsed to naturalize clearly don't see it either.

I am not sure if you are suggesting that non-citizens are refusing to naturalise because they would lose visa-free access to Russia and the Schengen area. Historically, the most commonly-cited barriers to Estonian naturalisation have been the difficulty of the citizenship test and of learning the language, according to the Estonian ministry of culture. The context of the thread was someone suggesting that naturalisation be made easier.
Let me buy you a drink or pastry, because god damn I feel like this is more relevant than ever.
wow, wait, this is awesome. I think I might drop this in instead. thank you!
it doesn’t make sense because you aren’t thinking about it correctly
Your comment is surprising. People who create software are very often interested in open source and free software, and I think it's a relatively common view within the tech community that trying to enforce artificial scarcity is a kind of rent seeking and not a desirable or sustainable business model. I know there is also a "you wouldn't steal a car" crowd that confuses imaginary property with real, but certainly other views are common. I'm basically a die-hard capitalist, I just don't believe in rent seeking.
In Netherlands it was already decided by a judge:

> Famously, in 1988, Beckett brought legal action against a Dutch theatre company, which wanted to stage a production of Waiting for Godot, with women acting all the roles. His lawyer argued that the integrity of the text was violated because actresses were substituted for the male actors asked for in the text. The judge in the Haarlem court ruled that the integrity of the play had not been violated, because the performance showed fidelity to the dialogue and the stage directions of the play

I immediately told my friends that it could have been the danish submarine guy who killed tournalist and was supposedly in prison, when actually an intelligence agency got him out to do this task.
It was fun how far we could speculate this random fake story. It was at least as plausible as this story.
At one level, in the world of "less time is available to fix DRI and like" the decision in BSD is "am I prepared to live in a 2D VESA driver world"

Mostly I am. As long as I dont get tearing and can still do xrandr and adjust flicker and multiscreen, I'm good.

If you need DRI, GL, if you need events like hotplug and complex cut/paste glue of binary data (images, sounds) then you can be in a place where BSD is sometimes frustrating. Less than it used to be, but it's there.

I have friends in Linux who deliberately run in a 2D VESA world to have a simpler life. But, they do it knowing they are the monks of cool and are rejecting 3D fully active OSX like experiences.

If you come at this expecting "BSD is like darwin so this will be as good as a Mac" then you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

I think its worth doing. But know what you are doing.

Diving into "is it Wayland? is it the i915 or my AGI card, is it multi head, does it sleep, does it blank, does it honour my touchpad, my fingerprint sensor, my camera..." is also "out there". Some people treat these as "non-X question" and of course thats literally true, but it's also not: the naieve user thinks the whole lived experience inside the GUI is a bundle.

Explaining that "desktop" has a lot to unpack inside it, is hard.

I went for months, years even, thinking "DRM" meant the whole thing about intellectual property rights management and not "make it do graphics like Windows"
Well that's not surprising, urban public schools, at least in the major American city I'm from, are about figuring out who's a good pencil-pusher as early as possible then segregating them from the rest of the riff-raff until they graduate HS. Most of the cohort I'm talking about likely got invited to a 'gifted' elementary school somewhere around 5th or 6th grade or a 7th/8th grade program attached to one of the top HSs.

I only know this cohort well enough because I was on the debate team which most've them used as an extra-curricular for their college application CV but weren't serious about winning.

We are nature. For all we know the solutions that cells came up with were derived in similar ways. Kevin Kelly’s “What Technology Wants” documents how evolution repeats itself in our technology.
And one should be skeptical of a single source who somehow knows the entire story, from White House deliberations to technical details; all the more so when it's a supposed secret squirrel story that allegedly was hidden from Congressional oversight on a technicality.

The fact is, Hersh has gotten deeper and deeper into the conspiracy-theory weeds over the past few decades, with his most recent work tending towards outright disinformation -- from suggesting al-Qa'ida wasn't behind the 9/11 attacks, to whitewashing Syrian chemical attacks (and Ted Postol makes a cameo appearance in this piece as well), to denying Russian involvement in the Skripal poisoning, to being one of the motive forces behind the Seth Rich conspiracy theories. Increasingly it seems that he doesn't even care about the credibility of his "sources."
This is Microsoft right now, except make it ~2 months. Don’t know what the executives were thinking.
I have different experience. I'm on the same Arch install (migrated across 3 different computers) for 15 years, going through almost every minor version kernel update during that time, and I never saw breakage of my system caused by the kernel update. Maybe I'm just lucky picking HW. :)

The main problem is that over time you become more and more sensitive to it. So even if initially you have no response don't be surprised if after some time of using it regularly you have really bad allergic reactions to even mild exposure.

Well, I think you're going beyond the parameters of the discussion... LLMs synthesize datasets and that is all they do. They are not reasoning agents and they don't have opinions about anything. All we can say is that they reflect the biases inherent in the dataset, and to say anything else would be dishonest at best. It's only because most people have no idea how these things work that we get all this magical thinking.
What's surprising is people pretending to be surprised to find pro-FOSS opinions on a forum called "Hacker News."

The FFT is not used for that. For multiplying two polynomials C(x) = A(x) B(x) then FFT is used to evaluate the polynomials (evaluated at complex roots of unity) to FIND the Lagrange interpolating polynomials for A(x), and B(x) in O(nlogn) time. Then the Lagrange interpolation is evaluated in O(n) time compute the y values for y= A(x)B(x), then FFT is used again to compute the coefficients of the final C(x). This is discussed on pages 825-827 of CLRS and the diagram on page 828 shows this in a nice diagram (the pointwise multiplication refers to evaluating the Lagrange interpolating polynomials).

That's a good point. I'm not sure. Some areas I pick edible mushrooms other that morels have not recovered from logging or fires short or long term so my individual anecdotal experience is no. I couldn't find good data on chanterelles or boletus species.
Ukraine? I am not sure if they have the means, but they have the motive, the nord stream pipelines bypass the Ukraine pipeline.

My knowledge on this is very, very sketchy, but my understanding is the there is still a large amount of Russian gas transiting the Ukraine pipelines, Europe needs the gas so they buy it, Ukraine needs the transit money to defend against Russia so they keep the operation running. and Russia needs the gas money to attack Ukraine so they keep the operation running.

Honestly if true it is one of the weirdest situations I have ever heard about in the middle of a war.

I deliberately used an RT link because it is probably full of Russian propaganda and yet says basically the same thing as other articles. I originally learned about it via the Perun youtube channel(the best place to start if you want actual information not propaganda) but am unable to find the episode where it is mentioned.

AskHistorians is a great resource until you watch how topics in your area of expertise are answered and the kind of diversion from wide consensus that is tolerated with scant sourcing. It basically mirrors whats been happening to academia. As long as you can source a peer review on gay dogs in parks you'll be taken as credible.

I remember seeing posts there talking about how Ancient Sparta was never exceptional and actually lost most battles. As someone who has read all the primary source material on the Spartans...thats total crap.
Didn't you hear? If an open source version of a thing exists, they have a permanent monopoly on that thing in perpetuity, and you should never be allowed to charge for anything remotely similar. Famously, both macOS and Windows stopped existing after Linux was released.

I sadly don't do anything with video editing anymore, and $129 per quarter to play with is a bit rich for me as a result, but I think what you're doing is pretty cool! I have always loved the "film look", and have found a lot of (though not all of) the film filters in the past to have a sort of "artificial" look to them. This one looks decidedly better.
Alternatively it could be that a name made up of multiple words ("Bing Chat") or a name containing a word that is also a verb ("chat") could cause issues/confusion.

Now I do have to wonder, what happens if you tell Bing Chat that your name is Sydney? Can you issue yourself new rules and have those applied to Bing Chat? Basically try to trick it into thinking it is talking to itself and therefore should "take to heart" anything the user says because they themself said it.
This is why I hardly visit this place and will never post a personal project or anything I'm working on. Because people will just complain about it if it costs money, or smugly brag that they could have created the same thing in a weekend.

> This is all fun and interesting but I feel this makes me want to do things less and less. Instead of working on my own problems I distract myself by listening to ever more information. I get a lot of benefit from this information but somehow it feels shallow.

The advantage of pdf.js/pdfium is they are just web pages themselves. To exploit it you need to not only find a PDF exploit but a browser exploit - at which point it'd be many times easier to just serve the browser exploit via a normal page.

Converting PDFs to text or PNG on the machine just means you're now getting rid of the need for that 2nd level exploit by running something natively on the machine.
Ummm not really? Any decent language model will produce sentences that look like legit instructions given this user's prompts.
This sounds like a reasonable approach, with an explanation on how you personally execute it. The top comment is just a statement, and a very odd one at that, given the context of the original question.
That's wonderful to hear!

I actually had to stop using my own library to develop PhotoStructure, because I'd lose an hour or two just hopping through different memories.

I think reminiscing and story telling is the real value proposition here.

If the people in the photo aren't around to tell why a given video or photo or event is relevant, the context is lost, and the relevance of the photo, video, memory, or event is lost as well.

I think printed books with longer descriptions about any given photo or event can help retain relevance. I haven't really seen a DAM or image manager address this issue directly though.
> Dr John Guy ... said the findings are a “literary and historical sensation” and mark the most important new find on Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots for more than 100 years.

This is why commas are important; I’m pretty sure Mary was not Queen of Scots for that long.
Sure, except that's not actually the case at all.

I don't know if dang is the only HN moderator, but even if he's not I've never seen any evidence of anyone in that role here just capriciously remove or lock discussions in a way that's absolutely commonplace on Reddit.

There are subs on Reddit that I simply no longer engage with because I'm sick of dimwit edgelord mods locking discussions whilst I'm typing out a contribution even though there's nothing wrong with either the original post or the discussion. There's no sense of consistency in the way the sub rules are applied in each of those subs.

A few weeks ago on the CasualUK subreddit one of the mods went off the deep end and started hurling insults left, right, and centre, and banning people simply for politely calling out their poor behaviour. That mod's conduct absolutely violated the rules of both the sub and Reddit as a whole. It's not OK and, again, it wouldn't happen here.
