Safer? What is so unsafe ATM?
Transparent? Are you finna open-source it or nah?
People-centric recommendation systems? What? Aren't recommendation systems usually non-people-centric? What does that even mean?

What does "misinforming your well-being" even mean?

Such much BS.
That's great, but still has nothing to do with the original comment I was responding to. I suggest reading it first before continuing to argue points that are irrelevant.
If you have savings in a current or savings bank account, then inflation erodes the value of those savings. But inflation was doing that before at a 2 % rate anyway, bank interest on savings is well below inflation rate. So most people actually have their savings in index funds or stocks, and as long as the economy is growing, so are their savings.

On the other hand, debts are denominated on "the coin of the day", so inflation erodes the value of debts. Say, in the last year, I "paid" 10% of my mortgage because of inflation, even if my real income decreased 10%. I can go to my employer and threaten them with getting a new job if they don't increase my salary, or get a new job period. But the central bank doesn't want me to do that; instead they want those at the bottom to absorb the shock while those at the top adjust themselves for inflation freely.

Time will tell. In some parts of Europe, workers are highly unionized, and collective bargaining is a thing. Then it's a matter of ideological warfare: workers need to believe they are being affected and press the unions to press their employers and ultimately the government.
Isn't the very cheapest M2 Mac Mini still like, $600...? That seems to put you in a completely different price and performance category than even the most kitted-out RPI possible, even at inflated grey-market prices.
As example, Whatsapp deletes all messages, all stickers and all media shared. Heck it deletes even media that is older than 3 months (shows a blurred version of it that does not load). It also deletes all contacts except groups for some reason. The contacts that remain within those groups are only saved as phone numbers.

Telegram helped me to look up for contacts searching for their name and translate them to Whatsapp, since many people only use Whatsapp actively.
It's more or less impossible to review non-trivial code without feedback from the author (i.e. have a conversation) outside of cases where it's just truly obviously awful. Often stuff just gets rejected for "I wouldn't have written it like this". Okay, fine; but that doesn't mean I can't write it like that. But if I don't know what you want...

The reason people don't give concrete feedback is because there often just isn't a clear one beyond "I don't like it".
Do you honestly think the only thing that's changed about life between now and the 70s is your house and TV are bigger?

I shorted a few RPis in my day. It would hurt to do that now given their price.

Even so, OP is about running server stuff rather than electronics or robotics hobbyist stuff. The Pi works as a little hass and automation server, but only barely.

I've been "mini pc" curious for a while, and TFA mentions a "TinyMiniMicro" resource that seems quite useful.

I want to avoid being the “jerk one”, but do you have any bench/topics which support your claim? I won't deny that FF Mobile is way slower than chrome when it needs to deal with tons of ads that uBlock Origin solves greatly.

You can make the intermediate step a bit more structured too via https://github.com/HackerNews/API

For example, for the March one it is ID 34983767 (from the algolia search or a "there's only so many of them, here's a list that I'll add to each month").

You can then get a list of all the top level comments at https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/34983767.json?pri...

And then pulling up a comment at https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/35255027.json?pri... to not have to parse any of its child comments or the HTML of the page.

The bottom two blocks are fine, I agree, because they're laid out in two dimensional so if you feel around for the corners and identify the buttons that way.

The top set of buttons arranged in a line are much worse. They're two sets of 4 in a sense, but they're nearly undifferentiated from the hazard lights button, so in reality it's one long strip. I strongly suspect that people will take their eyes off the road to look at those buttons more often than not.

(Yes they're media controls, but let's be honest: people will use them to skip tracks while driving.)

Ask HN: How would you create an AI to convert paintings to vector images?
Recently I have become somewhat obsessed with learning to paint and surprisingly enough I am not incredibly terrible at it. It got me to thinking, I love my job being a software engineer but I have always found that my graphics design skills aren't meeting my needs when developing indie projects. However, while painting I really feel like I have the ability to produce images that actually look good and can be used in the design of my web applications. It also pulls me away from my computer which is great but I would love to see my work being used in my software projects. Which begs the question, how would someone design an AI to convert my paintings into scalable vector images? I believe something like this would be possible but how would you do something like this or is there something like this that already exists?

> I know that you didn't ask, but my $0.02 is that yes, RasPi's are unreliable.

I've been using RPis and "clones" for internal services for years, and there's hardly any fuzz with them at all. At most a power cycle once a year.

They've endured house losing power multiple times, I've yet to swap SD-card on any of them, they just keep chugging.

But sure, I wouldn't trust my life to one. I just find it odd that people say they're highly unreliable while all of mine just work.
There was a version of BeOS (iirc, it was the last version they released) that could be installed in a file on a Windows9x hard drive and booted to by using a boot floppy.

It really was an impressive and innovative way to get people to try a new OS, keeping in mind that most people couldn't (and still can't, to be fair) set up a more normal dual boot setup. I think they were just too close to shutting down by that point, so nothing ever really came of it.
I have been working on https://instellar.app to solve this very problem. It allows you to use s3 compatible storage and your compute / database provider. So you can use hetzner or digitalocean or AWS or google cloud, anything you want. For your database you can use digitalocean’s managed / Aiven.io / RDS / Google cloud SQL. This tool brings it all together and enable you simply focus on shipping code.

It does load balancing / automatic ssl issuing out of the box. It will also allow you to scale horizontally. I’m working towards making it public soon.

Shhhh stop spilling our secret to the software people... The semiconductor shortage is bad enough already...

That said though, programming embedded devices like Arduino and ESP32 needs a completely different style of thinking than with high level languages or web stuff. Things like MicroPython reduces the friction just a bit to make it easy enough to get on board.

When looking at these kind of datasets, there's couple of very high level things I would like to know: 1)How granular the data is in terms of geographical location or time 2)What geographical areas and/or time scopes it covers 3)One-of dataset or constantly updated 4)License

Having these as filtering conditions or as summary would help in browsing the datasets.
Moore's law is almost the opposite of Metcalfe's - Metcalfe's encourages you to build out the network as fast as possible to get the most value; Moore's implies you should wait as long as possible before buying processing power to get the most you can.
This paragraph summarized the piece fairly well. It describes the ideology that the author thinks central bankers have:

> The answer may be down to the grip of an economic ideology espoused by tenured Harvard Professors like Larry Summers and Ken Rogoff. Both appear to believe that inflation exceeds in its power all other threats. And that inflation is largely caused by rising wages (even as real wages are falling) - or even the expectation that wages might rise. That to suppress wages and therefore inflation, central bankers are required to continue hiking aggressively even if this does depress demand, raise unemployment and slash wages further.

I don’t think that’s true though. The most mainline Keynesian would say that inflation has many more causes that just wage growth. And since one of the charter goals of the Fed is to reach maximum employment, I would imagine that rate hikes are trying to minimize impact on workers while still keeping inflation down (their real wages intact).

The author, in my mind, has tunnel vision for workers’ rights and wages, and won’t see the impacts of 6% inflation on the lives of that same working class. The rhetoric makes me think that they’re boiling the frog for a more commanded economy.
Yes. Check `main.py`, rewrite it to load the text from whatever you want.
This is how deep wealth is created: the moment something is beyond current law, drive a fully loaded train thru that loop hole, generate unregulated wealth, lawyer up, and write the regulations yourself. I'd say they might now exactly what they are doing.
Not a Hetzner user, but I believe you can do pretty much anything you can use any other VPS for. I deploy all my stuff on a single server using https://lunni.dev/ (disclaimer: I'm also the author of Lunni). It is a web interface over Docker Swarm with sane defaults for working with web apps.

- Deploy from source repo: Lunni docs guide you how to setup CI building your repo as a docker image, and you can create a webhook that pulls it and redeploys.

- Scaling, load balancing: in theory you can just throw more servers in the swarm, tweak your configuration a bit and it should work. However, I've yet to run past what a single, moderately beefy server can handle :')

- Automate backups: definitely on my roadmap! Right now I'm configuring them manually on critical services, and doing them manually every now and then using the Vackup script.

- Maintain security: Docker's virtual networks acts as a de-facto firewall here. In Lunni, you only expose services you need to the reverse proxy (for HTTP), and if you absolutely must expose some ports directly (e. g. SSH for Git), you have to explicitly list them.

Some other similar alternatives to consider: Dokku, Coolify, Portainer with Traefik / Caddy / nginx-gen. I'll be glad if you choose Lunni though :-) Let me know if you have any questions!

You can have 10G with eg, Mikrotik at a reasonable price.

One problem with it is that the copper tech is just power hungry. It may actually make sense to go with fiber, especially if you might want even more later (100G actually can be had at non-insane prices!)

Another problem is that it's CPU intensive. It's actually not that hard to run into situations where quite modern hardware can't actually handle the load of dealing with 10G at full speed especially if you want routing, a firewall, or bridging.

It turns out Linux bridge interfaces disable a good amount of the acceleration the hardware can provide and can enormously degrade performance, which makes virtualization with good performance a lot trickier.
There is so much hype around federated learning but often the hard and insurmountable part of this is federated labeling.

For example for your cancer use case, you have to convince multiple hospitals to feed the system labels and this is a very very tall ask.

For healthcare it’s also not clear how to get a regulatory clearance if you can’t actually test the performance of the federated deployments.

So while federated learning solves some problems generated by an unwillingness to share data, it doesn’t solve all of them. Describe the use cases of your product carefully.
> and watch your ass because an EE is about to arrive to drag you for not just using a 555 timer in your projects.

I know from an electrical engineer that with microcontrollers having become that cheap, it can often be cheaper to use a massively produced microcontroller instead of a 555 despite the former often being insanely overpowered for the task at hand.

I think what the other poster is trying to say is something like the following:

There was a team / teams who planned the mission, designed and built the spacecraft and its systems & instruments, designed and performed tests on the samples, analyzed the data, and published a paper with some claims. The paper outlines their methods, test results, data, and conclusions.

Now, is it okay to question anything in the paper? Yes, absolutely.

How probable is it that something in the paper is wrong or could be improved? Definitely non-zero, it happens a lot. People who understand various aspects of the instruments used, the tests, data analysis, etc, often find some minor or major flaw in scientific papers. Could it happen with this one? Yes, absolutely.

How probable is it that someone on HN--knowing that there are lots of people on HN with diverse expertise--will find something wrong with the paper, and that the substance of the flaw they found is:

> I seriously doubt that it could be "ruled out" just like that.

> For one, the spacecraft (or the empty capsules) could have been pre-contaminated before their launch.

> Second, the capsules could have been contaminated after arrival even if they were "sealed" (perhaps the seal had issues, or maybe it happened when they opened them, since one assumes they couldn't test still sealed capsules, they'd have to open them).

Non-zero, but very low. Could it happen? Yes, it could very well be that the team(s) involved did not consider that contamination could occur before or after the sample was obtained and analyzed. How likely is it? Hard to say, but if it happened, the critique would not take the form of "Hey, it could have been contaminated!" Rather, it would take the form of "I notice in the sample handling procedure that such-and-such technique was applied. Further, in the data analysis, such-and-such test was not done, therefore one could not rule out ..."

You get the idea.
Jesus Fuck is the Subaru infotainment system just an absolute nightmare. I love Subaru cars. I have owned several.

My most recent (23 Impreza) was the first with full-blownsies infotainment. It is just an absolute shitshow.

Slow, laggy, buggy, hard to understand menus. It randomly turns black and takes a minute or two to turn back on when starting driving. If you get in turn the car on, and put it into a gear without waiting for 20-30 seconds, the screen and therefore radio will be completely unusable for anywhere from 30 seconds up to five minutes afterwards.

It is just awful. Awful.
I'm a bigger fan of Dell desktop that companies have put out to pasture after a refresh cycle. They're very expandable, have plenty of horsepower, and the idle power draw isn't that bad. The better thermal characteristics compared to a laptop usually lead to very long life as well.

Related to a sibling comment, a decent UPS could power a Dell like that for a couple of hours if it's mostly idling.

Show HN: DogQ – No-code cloud-based testing for web creators of all levels
DogQ is a user-friendly no-code web testing automation platform designed for creators of all levels. It helps users test their products easily and quickly and team up with other creators to make sure everything works as it should.

The key difference between DogQ and existing testing tools is that we do not differentiate between our users based on their budget; all of the product's features are available to everyone from the 1st day of use.

We want to make testing available for everybody and to support small businesses and startups, as the idea of helping them create unique products from scratch is really important to us.

That's a broad generalization. Sure, reduce, re-use, recycle.

But... it's nice to have a system that has a very minimal footprint, which isn't exactly the case with a laptop.

The Turkish central bank provides hard currency liquidity. It's absolutely vital for the economy, as import and export businesses in Turkey can't use the lira for most of their operations because foreign companies don't want that kind of emerging market currency risk.

The Turkish lira is free floating, so the central bank buys and sells liras at market rates. And seems like they're getting desperate to make sure foreign currency stays in the central bank:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-24/turkey-ce...

"The request comes after commercial banks wired a net $2.3 billion to deposit accounts abroad in the first six weeks of the year, one of the people said, asking not to be named because the information is confidential. Hard-currency outflows are hampering efforts to keep the lira stable and inflation in check in the run-up to elections slated for May.

"While there are no regulations preventing banks from wiring capital to their correspondent banks abroad, Turkish officials have said that they want free cash kept in the monetary authority’s coffers."

So, a Turkish business sells a boatload of plums to Germany and gets paid in euros. The euros are wired from Germany to a Turkish bank. The bank's accounts are held in liras, so the business can't keep the euros directly. Instead the bank deposits the euros with the central bank and gets liras at market rate. The central bank now has more hard currency that Turkey's government might eventually use to pay for things like buying fighter jets (or whatever in the budget that's not domestically produced).

The plum business owner isn't very happy about holding liras in his bank account though, because he knows they might be worth 50% less in a year. So he immediately spends the money on things his business needs, paying a bit more than he did last time, just to ensure he can get the products... And that's how local inflation is being fed even by a seemingly positive thing like exporting plums. Government spending wasn't a factor here. But low local interest rate is a factor because lowering the costs of loans enables the plum business owner to spend more liras.
I would guess that whatever organic molecule was on that asteroid, it died off from the intense radiation in space.
Once upon a time people wrote in cursive.

I'm not disagreeing with your sentiment. I love richly written, complex writing that can take a moment to digest, but, let's be honest here, it isn't just AI that has destroyed the written word: the internet, smart phones, and cute emoji have already done an exemplary job of that.

I cannot find any more fantasy literature that won't make me puke a little bit in my mouth every time I try to read it. Granted it all seems to fall under the grotesque umbrella known as YA so perhaps it cannot be helped, but where or where are the authors who wanted to expand the minds of their young readers? I cannot find them anywhere.

Not hetzner but a similar provider:

- Deploy by stopping the server, rsyncing in the changes, and starting the server. The whole thing is automated by script and takes 5 seconds which is acceptable for us.
- Run apt upgrade manually biweekly or so.
- We use client-side load balancing (the client picks an app server at random) but most cloud providers will give you a load balancer IP that transparently does the same thing (not for free though).
- For scaling just manually rent more servers.
- For backups we use a cronjob that does the backup and then uploads to MEGA
- For security we setup a script that runs iptables-restore but this isn't really all that necessary if you don't run anything that listens on the network (except your own server obviously).
- DDoS is handled transparently by our provider.

While this might change if you're super big and have thousands of servers, in my experience simple is best and "just shell scripts" is the simplest solution to most sysadmin problems.
And the fingers still look like out of a horror movie.
