> Dropping out of school at age 16 or whatever to help your parents make rent by slaving away in a supermarket stocking shelves will stunt your intellectual and career growth for decades, because without an actual education (be it trades or academia) it will be really hard to access better-paying jobs.

Compared to what we, the HN community, expects - yeah, I agree 100%.

Compared to what this community expects... it's not so clear.

We're making a lot of assumptions: that these children are dropping out of school, that the purpose of their working is to help feed their family, that they have better opportunities available to them, that the children and their parents want the same things as we do, etc.

The reality is that their parents likely never graduated high school either. There's no reason to think that these kids are choosing work over school, as opposed to doing both - which obviously would negatively impact their ability to succeed at school, but that's not the same thing as dropping out.

If these kids grow into adults who have graduated high school, they'll likely end up providing a more stable foundation for their children, so they can focus on school more than they were able to. They'll be more likely to push their kids to go to college, and to enter a field with higher qualification requirements like medicine, law, finance, or tech.

This is how immigrant communities have always worked, to the point that it's a stereotype. There's a reason second- and third-generation immigrants consistently outperform "native" groups in terms of both educational and professional attainment.
i'm glad to have a wood stove, electrical rates keep rising, and wood is pretty consistent (plus I source some on my own, tons of free firewood if you know where to look) ... unfortuantely it doesnt solve my hot water problem, but one 200 gallon tank of oil lasts me over 1.5 years
They don’t have to be ugly! You can get mini splits in a cassette format that just looks like an air vent.

I’m not against ducted systems or anything (Most houses in the US have them). But the laws of physics pretty much guarantee that a mini split will always be more efficient. Air ducts are harder to insulate and not that good at moving heat energy compared to sending refrigerant right to where you need it.

I reckon "cell" is a misnomer in this context. While "cell phone" would've been the only reasonable vernacular in the US a decade ago, the phrase "mobile device" is extremely popular now, and "handset" or "mobile" for brevity would also be pretty good. Satellite-to-mobile, satellite-to-handset, but not satellite-to-cell. Wait, satphone is already a word... use it!

Customers should be diversifying in these situations. It’s easy enough to set up a sweep. Those that don’t for whatever reason shouldn’t get bailed out for their poor decision making. That’s de facto subsidizing any future banks that want to make risky investments.
The Guardian comes with a certain bias for disaster-mongering, especially (but not exclusively) at the expense of Tories; all of those things are real problems, but take it with a grain or two of salt.

Trackpad crappy in what way?

It seems utterly normal to me?

Yes, the power drain is sleep mode is abnormal - I've read that the USB ports are to blame, and it will be fixed in upcoming firmware.
>but are left with lifelong distortions of how to be a person that have to be unlearned.

"Lifelong distortion" is a strong claim that hasn't been demonstrated. I wonder how much of this consternation for kids being present online is a generational thing. People from the generation where privacy was the default are reacting badly to the movement towards no privacy being the default. Of course, those from the old generation take it for granted that their way of living is the right way and the alternative is "distortion". I'm also from that generation and I cringe at how easily people destroy their own privacy. But I don't make the mistake of assuming this emotion has normative value. The world is moving to a social-media infused existence. Being a digital luddite isn't obviously the superior lifestyle. Preventing kids from making the most of it isn't obviously in their best interests.
If that is what it takes, sure. As long as the punishment is less than the reward, it's good business.
First - this thing is awesome so nice going.

Second - yes, significantly better communication on the website is going to help. Some economic analysis (the section of savings is ambiguous) with specifics, specifics on how it would look with financing, for different house sizes etc would get a lot of people across the hump. It's quite unclear to me if this thing makes sense financially.

Third - nice going, this really is awesome.
Show HN: scikit-learn-ts Auto-generated TS wrapper around Python's #1 ML library
Python's ML ecosystem is generally much more mature than the JS/TS ML ecosystem.

As a primarily full-stack TS dev, I've seen first-hand how difficult it is to perform simple ML-related tasks that the Python community takes for granted.

So I decided to try an experiment: how well would it work to auto-generate a TypeScript wrapper around Python's scikit-learn package, using a Python subprocess and IPC to communicate back and forth between them?

Turns out it works really well in practice, and so scikit-learn-ts was born.

The library supports all 257 classes exported by the official Python scikit-learn, and their TS wrappers are all auto-generated from the Python API docs.

This project's a lil hacky, but I've already reached out to the scikit-learn team, and we may experiment with using Pyodide as an alternative backend for the Python bridge.

Looking for feedback & ideas to improve the project. Thanks! :)
I'm in the same camp. I consider myself an audiophile, but spend most of my time reading things and laughing at "them". There's definitely a fair bit of critical thinking required when you're investigating audio gear for personal use. That said, a proper DAC/Amp stack and a good set of headphones are well worth the investment, it's just that you are strongly into the diminishing returns area once you spend more than about $1k all-in on the entire setup.

The thing is, I think of it like I do many of my "hobbies" which are really just about improving my actual quality of experience/quality of life in the things I do every day. I am typing this comment on a custom-built $900 mechanical keyboard, and just got off a conference call where I was speaking into $1k worth of microphone gear, with a $3k camera setup pointed at me, and listening to the other person through $2k worth of audio output gear (headphones + DAC/Amp stack). To the casual observer that's utterly ridiculous and I've wasted all this money for nothing. On the other hand, I spend 8+ hours a day wearing those headphones, on meetings, and typing, anything that even marginally improves the quality of my experience doing the things I do for 8+ hours every day and intend to do for most of the remainder of my life, means that I am improving my overall quality of life in a meaningful way.

I do this for the exact same reason I spent big on my chair, desk, lighting, and my bed. Between my home office and my bedroom, I spend 75% or more of my entire life (roughly 18 out of every 24 hours) in those two places until I retire. It is absolutely worthwhile for people who spend a lot of time listening to audio to optimize the way they listen to audio. You just have to really keep your critical thinking hat on, though, because the market is full of snake oil.
I'd say Arcimoto seems more interesting in the "move passenger vehicles into some 2-passenger space in between motortrikes and automobiles" than Aptera. Either way it's an interesting space, but that doesn't mean the rest of the EV sector is going to die.
Ansible is useful for stuff like installing openssh on the server and setting up a secure sshd config file. Or setting up ufw.
You can do more, of course. I don't think Docker is suitable for that kind of stuff.

> I didn't know about extended attributes before this, but also I grew up with Windows and now Linux and just haven't run into them.

The somewhat similar mechanism on Windows is Alternative Data Streams. ADS are like named subfiles below your main file. If you squint pretty hard, unix xattrs look kind of similar -- they're also named binary objects attached to files. But xattrs are typically limited to much smaller amounts of data due to implementation details, and are also namespaced with some sort of integer enum (on Linux, "user" and "system" are common).

I would not really assume they're a portable construct, although commonly used unix-likes (Mac and Linux) both support them in their most popular filesystems.

Have you looked at cassette style mini-splits? Nothing on the wall's you'd just replace the vent in your ceiling. They are quite a bit larger than your standard vent though.

As far as remotes, there are a bunch of universal remote control options and smart (wifi/bluetooth) based controllers.
Might I suggest looking the story between the 2nd and 10th of march? I've noticed Hacker News hasn't been following certain areas of the effort.

I have a computer that will sometimes crash hard, frozen screen and mouse, awful static on the speakers and, interestingly, something coming over the ethernet port too. This interference goes up to the next device on the line, my network switch, and brings that to its knees too. Nothing can move through the switch while that computer is having a seizure. I can disconnect the wire at the switch and the network comes back to life within a minute.

I'm considering putting a sacrificial switch from my junk box inline to that one computer so maybe the rest of the network can survive its crashes.

You can do a passive x16 -> 4 x4, iff your board supports pci-e bifurcation. Theoretically, you could do x16 -> 8 x2 also passively, but I haven't seen bifurcation go down to x2. PCI-e switches are probably too expensive for anything active though.

Yeah, I can 100% understand doing that as part of a family business; when your employer is your family it's pretty much assumed they have your best interest at heart (though I realize that isn't always true), and even if you're being paid very little there's a good chance you'll benefit from helping your family prosper.
Yes! This is what I wanted to do first but we only had an aging furnace and no AC. I've read that you can run into problems with back pressure if you close too many vents, though.
DDR2-800 has a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 6,400 MB/s, and was in common use well after 2010.
Yeah, I'm aware of that.

The point is that a state-issued RealID provides me with no benefit, so any amount of effort beyond "yeah, sure, I'll check this box" isn't worth it for me.
Ah, so just like people wanting to avoid "chemicals" in what they eat?
There is no size limitation on the word "algorithm". It is perfectly acceptable to define a complete decision tree as being an "algorithm", in addition to "decision trees" in general being an "algorithm". There is no restriction on it being the sort of cute little thing you can stick in a textbook on a single page and do intensive mathematical analysis on it. You can refer to the complete rendering pipeline for a frame in a modern AAA game as an "algorithm", or the entire code for instantiating an EC2 instance, or, yes, even the algorithm that takes an input a person and their medical cases and returns what the organization should do about it including the possibility of just cutting them loose.

It's a perfectly sensible use of the term as is.
You don't want an over-sized system.

They short cycle.

An over-sized system can quickly cool to the thermostat setting, but leave the latent heat in the water vapor in the air.

So you experience the "feels like" temperature...it's not the heat, as they say.

A properly sized system runs long enough to condense water vapor and with it remove the latent heat from the air.

This nice approach has at least these drawbacks:

1. Swapping drives is hard

* may be overcome by declaring failure domain = node

2. No powerloss protection advertised to OS, ie. slow synchronous writes

* may be overcome by software hacks and whole-system battery supply

3. Potential slowdown on continuous write load (weeks or months, depending on drive)

* may be overcome by software in _some_ situations

At least the last two points are a no-go for enterprise use-cases, if not addressed.
I've often wondered why this is. My best guess is that the EPA cert (not actually hard to get) has been turned into some sort of weird quasi-guild-membership thing.

I can walk right in to a "to the trade" electrical or plumbing supply and they'll deal with me, no problem, no questions asked. With HVAC.. they won't even talk to you without an EPA number, even if you're not buying refrigerant.

DTC for whole house systems, if they can make the regulatory side work and provide a good customer experience, is the most important part of this.
So, two things:

1. Studio monitors are chosen for their flat response curve over a given range not because they: a) accurately cover a large frequency range including bass, b) have exceptional clarity and ultra low distortion.
2. Bookshelf speakers can get really good but they ultimately require subwoofers to cover lower frequencies and that requires not only a good subwoofer with excellent clarity.
3. The vast, vast majority of studios master audio to sound good on a wide range of devices ranging from smartphone speakers to earbuds to $50 soundbars. And ultimately with the "loudness wars" still in full swing, dynamic range compression is widely used.

I don't disagree with you that room treatment is of paramount importance. But there is a very, very noticeable difference hearing a good recording over a pair of floorstanding full range speakers with excellent tweeters+woofers and a decent amp. My point a good setup including subwoofer+crossovers+bookshelf speakers that hits the point of diminishing returns tends to approach the $10-15k mark including amp.

Some things are a total waste of money. Fancy power cables, super-expensive amps with zero measurements to justify the cost. Snake oil stuff like special ethernet cables, etc.

But speakers, as the highest distortion element of the audio chain, absolutely improve noticeably even up to $10-15k or so. I purchased some GoldenEar Triton One.R speakers a few years ago and they still blow people's minds when they listen to them. Everything from the bass to the treble are crystal clear yet not fatiguing.

Thank you for the feedback! I've gotten the feeling that networking with people is the only way I'm going to get hired, so I've been doing a lot of that lately. I have looked at things like QA roles, but in a lot of cases, I'm even less qualified for those positions. They all want you to have done QA testing for several years already.

I do have a stack of choice, but I'm also pretty language agnostic. I've been focusing on Node/React jobs since that's my bread and butter.

I'm redoing my resume and I have seen the error of my ways. Skills will go at the top.
This is a very different HTTP than 1.0 or 1.1.
Which host have you nominated as "primary" in this scenario? I'm only thinking of the TB4 link as a relatively cheap and simple point-to-point networking link. I think it's a lot more practical, and cheaper, that 25gbps ethernet. A dual-port 25gb ethernet NIC costs hundreds of dollars, while you can find all kinds of cheap computers with 2 TB4 ports.
super cool. you should link to it in your profile or send me an email so i can check it out!
That would be correct if things went this way:

Storage -> TCP Stream -> Sound output.

However, it never works like this, except maybe in some rare live conditions (in which case, why are you even running this on TCP?). In reality, it goes:

Storage -> TCP Stream -> Ring buffer -> Sound output

Unless you manage to empty your ring buffer (which, in the case of modern hardware can easily be 32+MB, or multiple seconds of audio), you will not hear a single bit of difference. And if you do, it won't come in "after you were meant to hear it", you'll either get a massive gap, or repeats. There is no such thing as "data coming in too late/out of order".

If you have any kind of venue, lets say a restaurant or a shop, you don't want your customers be targetted by any kind of illicit activity even if it is not on your grounds, e.g. in front of your store. Even less you want anyone use your identity in committing fraud. It would't matter if you are not in any direct reponsibility for that. So I can very much understand his concerns.

So the notion of a peppercorn is that both sides need to get something in order for a contractual agreement to be binding.

However, a bare promise, with no consideration flowing in the opposite direction, can still be legally enforced under the doctrine of "reliance". The details vary by state, but the basic concept is that if one party makes a promise and the other party reasonably relies on that promise to its detriment (i.e., buys raw materials to build something for the promising party), then the promise can be enforced. This doctrine is known as "promissory estoppel" or simply "section 90 reliance".

Research has been done and we know why some people see good results from alternative practitioners.

It is because alternative practitioners with bad bedside manners don't stay in business very long.

If you have a minor problem, sitting down with someone who you trust and talking about it for half an hour (much longer than the 5 or maybe 10 minutes you'll get with a traditional doctor), who then gives you some sugar pills and some other good advice (get up and stretch very half an hour), is almost always going to result in an improvement of symptoms.

A lot of problems, including pain, measurably improve when a patient feels they have been listened to, and that advice they are given is tailored to them.

Those longer, and often more frequent, appointments, also means the practitioner gets to know the patient better, which means underlying lifestyle problems can be identified. If the alternative doctor finds out someone is eating a lot of canned food, recommending they switch to "fresh natural vegetables" is a damned good way to lower someone's sodium and potassium intake.

The actual treatments are woo bullshit, but the care setting makes a huge difference.

Jesus Christ.

Let me get this straight: you're saying the solution to medical expenses is "let old people die, they don't want to live anyway"?

There are certainly cases where people are kept alive beyond what's compassionate, but that's a pretty separate cultural problem from the situation at hand, which is people who need basic care and can't get it because of capitalism being involved where it shouldn't be.
