You probably don't need the Pico. You can use luamacros or HIDMacros to remap the keys of the secondary keyboard.

I used to have an emoji + response template keyboard when I was doing social media management. I used HIDMacros[0] and Espanso [1].

My current setup is HIDMacros and Autohotkeys. With AHK's

:*:;<input_text>::{
Send "<expanded_text>"
}

you can do text expansion like Espanso. Nowadays, I am using the macro setup for virtual desktop management with SylphyHorn [2]. For text expansion stuff, I am doing auto correction of commonly mistyped words like: datbase, timstamp etc.

Funny that you decided to include fast fashion. Fast fashion by definition is a cheap alternative to high fashion. Similarly, there are cheap alternatives to all of the goods that you mentioned.

> The percent of people’s average income spent on most sectors has gone up over time.

First of all, that's a weird statement. The percent of people average income spent on most sectors is close to 100%. Ratios will change, but they don't indicate anything if you don't know how to read them.

What's your interpretation of this graph? Is it "billionaires are making movies more expensive and people are forced to save on food"?

It's so strange to me how opposed to 4 day work week most of the comments here on HN are. It seems like the main grievance people have is how businesses will be affected (despite the study showing negligible or positive impact), while downplaying or ignoring the huge quality of life improvements reported. A business is just a lifeless entity with very little meaning, while your time is the single most meaningful thing to you. Why on earth wouldn't you be singing the positives of this study?
It’s because your human math for power output is so far off it’s hard to know where to start to point you in the right direction

> I don't obviously see how to do [install the latest version of Zoom] with nix and I don't really want to spend the time to figure it out

nix-env -iA nixpkgs.zoom-us

or if you prefer,

nix profile install nixpkgs#zoom-us

That said, the Zoom package in Nixpkgs is (IIRC) actually extracted from the upstream Snap distribution of Zoom, and the Flatpak version of Zoom is actually the one I last used on NixOS. :)

(For proprietary software like Zoom, I think Flatpak might be preferable even to many Nix users like me.)
A bit of a shitty answer though when the context surrounding the discussion was about whether Google was doing anything to protect privacy. Apple, by comparison, seems to have navigated the same environment extremely well. They of course can't prevent certain things from happening, but for what's within their control, they are doing what they can.
Can't edit now, so I'll add.

With my typical city/town driving, I get 32-35 mpg with 87 octane, and typically 26-30 with E85.

Regular 87 octane is $3.12 around me here, and E85 is $2.71. E85 works out around 12% cheaper.

There is clearly a difference. But it's also the case that informal "wind-down Fridays" at many companies is a much lower bar than a formal 4-day workweek but both companies and people differ.

The lack of Linux support really bums me out. I know it's on the roadmap, but c'mon, the most prolific modder for KSP1 literally had "linux" in their name. They're leaving behind a lot of people.

If you download from any mirror or otherwise free software download store, you don't get uniquely identified.

What you are downloading in most cases is just an installer executable -- no software included. The installer pulls the actual software from Mozilla's server. Each copied served is given a unique ID and is unlike any other -- easily proven by hash or checksum (Mozilla calls this a "dltoken", see my reference above).
You're not wrong to say it, but describing conspiracy theories as a "high-growth vertical" kinda makes my stomach hurt

> but even scientific journals will not accept the results.

What? What are you talking about? Why would a scientific journal not accept it, if it's a properly done study that contradicts recent results?

Furthermore, there are plenty of "water is wet" studies that get published all the time—some of which are confirming things we "know", but don't have solid scientific data on, others of which are doing replications of existing studies. (I suppose you probably wouldn't get much traction with studies that rehash very old, many-times-replicated results...)

I don't think scientific journals work the way you think they do.

“Don’t seem evil”
Since we have little idea (with lots of noise) of what intelligence is, how cells develop and use it, Large Language Models, Generative Diffusion, and all the other architectures could move away from AGI and we have no benchmark to check it. A certain thing is that the current architectures are giving rise to artificial savants: an amazing ability to generate/hallucinate a story, some lines of code, or an image from a few words, but hilariously unable to distinguish between inside/outside and similar concepts which the simplest single-cell "knows" how to handle. It's not clear whether these architectures could give rise to an agent, nothing extra-ordinary, but merely able to explore various spaces without getting stuck [1].

One other aspect is the business side: in the following years lots of buzzwords will be flying around and most to all of the entities involved in statistical learning applications will get stuck in a local minimum worth somewhere between $10 billion to $10 trillion: shareholders care about, well, shares, not AGI. Another invariant in the technological race is that the worst technology will always win in the short to medium term: in Ancient Greece slavery was preferred to the steam engine [2], in 1900 the internal combustion engine won, not the more logical electric vehicle, today we have Windows and MacOS as major operating systems, not Plan9, and so forth.

Well if the color, pattern and texture of fabric on furniture counts as design, certainly rectangles or other shapes of color, pattern, or texture, on a wall count as design.

There is purpose behind design. It allows us to build up unique associations with a place, its people, its purpose. It keeps us from being bored. It gives us a break from other places. It sets a mood conducive to whatever a place is for. It expresses something about ourselves to others.

Decorating our spaces and walls seems to address a deep need in our species.

A wall with nothing on it creates tension. It isn't neutral.

Nowhere in nature are there environments comparable to huge vertical flat surfaces of white, brick, or wood or other uniform material.
I'm curious how water would lower the melting point of solid rock. I'm aware that adding ethanol to water lowers the boiling point of the resulting solution, but that's a combination of two liquids. I can't think of a physical mechanism where adding a liquid to hot solid rock results in hot liquid rock.

Where does the water come from? Is it liquid, or gaseous?

Show HN: Sail a historical full-rigged ship in real global weather
This is a simulator of a frigate from about 1800. It has realistic physics, tuned to match historical performance. The UI is based around commands given in period naval language. Rather than use the current weather, it has a full year's weather data (for 1980 - taken from https://psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded/data.ncep.reanalysis2.html). This allows the weather to change realistically under time acceleration.

To learn the basics of handling a square-rigged ship, start the "Harbour" scenario, click on the instructions button at the bottom left, and follow the instructions to try to get out of Portsmouth harbour.

To go for a long sail, start the "The World" scenario. Open the map, control+click anywhere on it to move there; control+click on the compass at the bottom left to turn the ship to that heading; then activate travel acceleration at the bottom right.

It's a simulator more than a game - think MS flight simulator. There's no sinking, but you can lose sails or spars in high winds. It's windows only.

This was released a couple of years ago, but this is an updated version from the end of January. See the devlog (https://thapen.itch.io/painted-ocean/devlog) for the changes. You can also find some discussions there on historical sailing performance numbers.

Only if you're hellbent on the nonsensical "parrot" argument. It's fairly obvious right now all the major pieces for Human Level AGI are here. Just needs to be put it together and that's going to happen in the next few years tops.

People don't think about code points and they definitely don't think about code units.

What does "character" mean?

Grapheme clusters aren't perfect but they're far ahead of code whatevers.
I get the point you are trying to make, but usually the holding is on the servers. Most mail and communications servers allow for this.. (ie, don't actually delete any emails that mention the company ACME because of a legal hold number 123434).

And I (A sysadmin) have literally been tasked with overnighting employee laptops to foresnic groups, and issuing them a brand new one. (typically, they just image the drives, and send them back, we would wipe the system, and put it back in our 'spare pool'.)
> Just like a marble slab will bend over time (see benches in old graveyards that sag in the middle), the mantle slowly flows

I had to see more of this, and it took me a while because most results are about construction and marble products. It looks like thin slabs of marble bow because of microfractures and internal stress, not by flowing.

Absolutely, like others here I see the current systems having potential at most to be Turing-Test-passers (an extraordinary achievement) but not remotely on the right track for AGI and inner-life/sentience/etc, but if we are going to talk about AGI, then better we get the discussions about that right from the start. We could start by not labelling the endpoint of current paths AGI...

But that is ridiculous!

Havs thelocal got it right?

"Italy amends law to allow kids to go home from school alone

Italian schools can let children walk home alone without fear of legal repercussions, after the senate approved an amendment to a law that said they had to be picked up by an adult.

..

Under-14s will require written permission from their parents or guardians to leave school unaccompanied, according to the amendment, which passed the senate’s budget committee on Monday."
For 10% replacement? Not worth it.
There’s plenty reason to suspect other animals are capable of this experience. We know for example that elephants will mourn their dead. Spend any time with a dog and you’ll realize they too are clearly affected when their loved ones are gone.

As far as I’m aware, the overall trend is that as we learn more and more about animals, they consistently have richer and more complex lives than we thought they had previously.

“Non-human animals can’t experience complex emotion” is the bold claim that relies on unproven exceptionalism. That is the claim we have no evidence for.
Sure, but it doesn't make any difference. If your $1T valuation is based on your income, and a move will +5% your valuation but -50% your physical assets from $20B to $10B, that company should still make that move.
> The entire purpose of fat is to store excess energy for future use

That isn't true. Though it's a primary use, the opening paragraph of the wikipedia article on fat outlines that it actually has many biological functions (and is properly thought of as an organ!): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adipose_tissue

> ... because over human evolution food supply was unreliable enough for this to create an evolutionary advantage. Getting fat from eating a lot of food is completely predictable.

Not at all. While fat does have a primary function as an energy reserve, that does not mean that unregulated growth is a simple matter of putting too much energy into the system. After all, just as in nature there are times of famine, there are also times of feast. It would be pretty disadvantageous for animals to have no regulation on their fat growth in times of abundance. Something more has to go wrong to cross the line from "saving for a rainy day" to "killing you". Animals don't eat until they damage their stomachs, do they? Not generally. Why does it make any more sense that they should eat until they damaged their endocrine systems?

An interesting counterpoint: bears hibernate. In preparation for doing so, they become fat by eating a lot. Now, they do this, not just any time of the year when food is abundant, but specifically in the fall as they prepare for the winter. Are they just lucky that food happens to be abundant every fall? Or is something else going on? What happens in years of famine? Do they still manage to get fat so they can hibernate?

Another interesting counterpoint: Pregnant women eat a lot and put on weight. Why do they do that? Is it because more food is available? Or is something else going on?

One last counterpoint. Bodybuilders put on a lot of muscle, which also takes energy, and they eat a ton to support that growth. Why is it that if I eat an extra steak, my flab gets bigger, but when Ahnold eats one, his biceps get bigger?

Obesity is dysregulated growth. While growth does require energy, it is in the failed regulation of that growth that you will find the best explanation for the disease.
Competitive advantage is fine that’s kind of the point of capitalism. So the problem isn’t that YouTube has access to cheap compute, that’s normally just a basic synergy that every MBA loves.

The problem comes from Alphabet having cheap compute left over from their search monopoly. In 1982 AT&T was broken up because it was using its local monopoly when competing in the long distance market. Again for 99% of companies it would have been fine, but monopoly = special rules.

I don't think they were trying to shift liability, I think they were trying to make sure all the data was deleted, without themselves having to hit delete. It's their counsel's culpability that is being protected, i.e. the difference between being negligent or willful.
> But even if all drivers were totally ready to leap to EVs, Toyota argues hybrids would still make sense. Because their batteries are so much smaller, a company can build far, far more hybrids than EVs from the same battery resources.

This is an interesting question, and depends on how readily available battery materials are, and what environmental harm is done by mining them rapidly.

For example, it's possible that Toyota can use X amount of battery to increase the mileage on 10 hybrids from 30 mpg to 40 mpg, whereas a single EV would use the same amount of battery and increase the gas mileage from 30 mpg to infinity. Depending on how much that one EV is driven, versus the 10 hybrids, it could reduce emissions further to go the hybrid route.

An alternative hypothesis: Toyota loves just-in-time delivery in its manufacturing process. Maybe they're doing the same thing here, at a larger scale. Once there are plenty of charging stations and consumer demand, they'll build EVs (but no sooner!).
That contradicts f1yght's note that "there's 1 day less to the weekend".

I understand that this is meant to be an eye-popping press release (and implicitly a product spotlight), but some of these claims make me gag.

It's not an attack "on" PyPI, or even an attack at all: someone is just spamming the index with packages. There's no evidence that these packages are being downloaded by anyone at all, or that the person in question has made any serious effort to conceal their attentions (it's all stuffed in the setup script without any obfuscation, as the post says). The executable in question isn't even served through PyPI (for reasons that are unclear to me): it's downloaded by the dropper script. Ironically, serving the binary directly would probably raise fewer red flags.

Supply chain security is important; we should reserve phrases like "aggressive attack" for things that aren't script kiddie spam.

I can tell you the origin story of it maybe you like it more. I was sitting on my balcony with my cofounder and we were thinking of names that had .com free and no registred TM. As you might imagine the list was pretty short.We had names like apilogger.com, apicapture.com, restlerr.com, apigga.com

We thought that it would be cool to have something with treble(high pitch sound opposite to bass) but the domain was taken. I also liked it because it was in the same keystroke as Trelloand i associate Trello with productivity. So we added another L and took home the win :)
As someone who heard this first hand (probably at an all-hands or TGIF), the quote from the earlier post was very much not "don't use communication channels that leave a trail" and much more "don't do illegal shit".

In addition, I fondly remember him quibbing that there is no internet in jail. :/

Saying that, I'll leave you in the knowledge that Google Meet is excellent for off the record conversations (and executives are great for ignoring rules set for the rest of the company).
The solution to this is socially-enforced, like it is for most questions of best practices, code style, etc.
Where in that definition do you propose governance comes in? Do you think culture is governable? To me, culture lies outside the scope of governance entirely -- it's literally just what people do to express themselves and the ways they like to spend their time.

Strong disagree, Deno gets so many things right that are really different from Node, package.json is just a small piece. A compatibility layer to allow large projects to migrate doesn't compromise Deno's principles as long as they don't change the Deno docs to point greenfield users towards package.json by default.
> Meta's LLaMA, short for Large Language Model Meta AI

I would have said "LLaMA, an acronym based on cramming concepts together until the word Llama is suggested, and then as a flourish, adding an unnecessary lower-case letter 'a' in the middle. Llamas are unrelated to AI, so this should not have been anybody's priority." Guess that's why I'm not a writer.
