I know I'm not the target market for bars and nightclubs but I've always hated just how loud the DJ's play the music. What is the point of going to a social atmosphere when you can barely even talk to someone without shouting? Who actually enjoys ear splitting music?
It's really just a matter of time at this point. X86 is a bloated nightmare that is a pain to deal with and has a rich history of vulnerabilities where the patches typically affect performance.

I don't think the metaverse is such a bad idea, I just think we're not there yet, and also that Meta isn't a trusted or cool enough company to pull it off. VR now is like a 1995 laptop, and it needs to be an iPhone for the metaverse to happen. And probably more than that, it'll need to be AR before it could happen. It needs to be Google Glass, but what that can be 10 years from now, and made by a company people like enough to generate FOMO.
I replied to a similar comment above, definitely worth an experiment!
Bitcoin is c. 3-7 transactions/sec for the entire electricity useage of a medium sized country.

Ethereum is about 20 for the electricity usage of a few steel plants.

Cryptocurrencies have one use: to evade regulation. As soon as that use disappears so will cryptocurrencies.

Crime isnt a side-effect, it's the point.
Where were the adults in the room when Zuckerberg was given supervoting stock? He has the majority of voting shares in the company and can basically do whatever he wants.
Not sure about you, but I also have a huge backlog of projects that don't exist yet and I would like to create them. but usually they're too complex to do over the weekend and I don't have that much time to spare.

I already tried to approach one of those projects but I quickly failed as gpt knowledge was too outdated for the library that I needed to use and I didn't figure out how to "patch" gpt knowledge.

in this case I'm not very familiar with the stack I needed for that project ( and I think future versions of LLM could get better at bridging that gap) but for tasks that I'm more familiar with I noticed a significant increase in productivity
Amazon has its convenience stores in which you scan your phone at the entry and walk out with whatever you want, it charges you for whatever you take. No human necessary
Thank you for your comment!
My phone asks me if I am connected to a trusted device and want to share data, asking me rather than asking the device if it is trusted seems to be an effective model.
The Trouble with Bitcoin
The economics on those deals look worse over time -- they're spending over $3 in guaranteed payments per $1 collected on those partner subscriptions, which meant partner subs went from being mildly profitable (gross) in 2020 to a $10mm cash sink in 2021. The good news is that overall the subsidized writers should be making enough for Substack to shut down the incentive payments (~$40mm in subscription revenue to writers vs $16mm in subsidies in 2021), so there's a good chance they can stop the bleeding. Still overvalued by at least 25x, though, and their OPEX is concerning; even if you ignore the $16mm in partner payments, they're still $6mm underwater on $10mm in revenue.

Well, it's not going to be profitable to install a gigantic transformer and megawatt-scale DC dispensers so some guy can leave his F-150 Lightning parked for an hour. It doesn't matter how many Pringles that guy buys.

We are never going to replace all ICE cars with EVs. It simply does not pencil out economically or even geometrically. In reality we need to replace the ICE fleet mostly with bicycles, some buses, and a very small number of EVs, preferably in shared fleets.
You don't get to choose, pairing the things with an iOS or mac device automatically updates it. Anyway, my old Airpods 2 set was already updated and is still working so maybe not that big a deal...

> E.g. these are examples for what I meant by "DSL in HTML attributes"

It's a DSL, sure, I won't argue about that. Matter of taste I guess, but I actually find this example you posted super easy to read, even the hx-trigger value. That's precisely what I like about HTMX: you get quite a lot done in a few attributes, while still remaining very readable. If the attributes value is too complicated or too long (ie. difficult to read), I would probably rewrite the logic in a simple JS function anyway.

> I always love when I find out I can do something easily in HTML and CSS without using JS

Ditto. When I wanted to play a media, it used to be some bad combination of flash object with JS bindings... now it's just a single audio and video tag. What a time to be alive...
I don't think using a refrigerator to crush a fly is bullshit.

Is it too difficult to do by yourself? Yes.

Will it damage your floor? Yes.

Will it damage the refrigerator? Yes.

But I don’t think it’s bullshit because it does solve a real problem - killing the fly.
Your example is heavily underspecified. In what form are people’s details added? How is the list printed? A spec that’s actually implementable will be a good deal longer. One that defines behaviour completely (what ordering should you use for equal weights?) will be longer still.

The HTML and ECMAScript specs that comprise most of what we’re talking about are very much closer to line-by-line, because they’re designed to be both implementable and completely specified.
I think most of us would do that, but I don't think musk has the desire or time to start a VC studio.
No it's not. You imagine it to be meaningful but it really isn't. There's no proof of consciousness to be had. I can't prove you are concious. I just assume so. Because it's practical I do, amongst other things.

You are going to end up treating these embodied autonomous agents like conscious beings because the effects could be disastrous otherwise, just as they would with other people.

It amazes me how humanity can be so shortsighted with so much history to fall back on.

The only reason Bing isn't potentially dangerous or adversarial to the user is because of its limited sets of actions. Nothing else.

We are beginning to embody these systems and giving them unsupervisory agency. We are giving more are more self supervisory control of complex systems to said systems.

And somehow people still think we can long-term get away with not granting personhood. Lol.

When the robot can "hit you back" (not necessarily physically of course), you'll learn manners pretty quickly
Overly strong employment isn't necessarily ideal. We could have official 0% unemployment by just paying people to stay home. Labor shortages and unchecked wage growth supports inflation.
> A person believes something that results in superstition. This definition states that superstition creates itself.

This is nonsense. Nothing is "created" when someone says something superstitious. There is no cause and effect. Supernatural entities/realms either exits or they do not. And there is zero evidence they do. Whether or not they actually do doesn't matter, it is rational to not believe in them until someone presents evidence for their existence.

> Godel's incompleteness theorem proves that we cannot prove all the laws in the universe

His theorem says no such thing. It simply makes a statement about the trade-off between the consistency of axiomatic systems and the provability of truth statements. I could easily just argue the universe is a system with inconsistent axioms where every law can be proved.

> we know conclusively that recent discoveries (eg, James Webb showing unexpected galaxy sizes) show that much of our current "laws of nature" are definitely in conflict with reality

This is called science. We collect evidence. We develop approximations of reality that best conform to this evidence. We collect new evidence. We refine our approximations.

> so many theoretical physicists are "simulationists" where they believe the universe is a simulation where the creators can exert complete control

I don't care what "so many theoretical physicists" believe. I care what they publish in peer-reviewed literature.

> Perhaps humans are simply hardwired for religion.

Perhaps humans are hardwired to make spears and kill each other or hunt and gather. That doesn't mean we should be doing that in 2023.
It's better described as evidence of a contract. But I guess a signed piece of paper is merely evidence of a contract as well, despite being commonly referred to as "a contract".

But this isn't really relevant when discussing healthcare, because the problem is precisely with providers not dealing in specifics that would be necessary to create a printed receipt. It would be a terrible system if hospitals demanded full payment ahead of treatment and price gouged patients on the spot, but it would be significantly more legitimate than what we currently have!
Base docker images, such as Ubuntu have support for multiple architectures.

Building your own based on them isn’t really difficult at all; docker buildx works remarkably well and build tools such as maven, sbt, etc. seem to have rather decent support for building multiarch images.

Even better if you have decent build automation, implement cross building for amd64 and arm64 once and just make sure your FROM images support those.
> The required either PayPal or passport

I had similar struggles with some non-IT service providers in Germany. They couldn't fathom why I have non-German nationality, German address and driving license from third country.
Passport, German address and driving license all have different address on them (all three being EU addresses).
It is apparently huge red flag in EU in 21st century.
Incredible
I think starting with books will help provide context and "the big picture" before jumping into the foundational papers.

The Pause Letter Is Deceptive and Dangerous
No the slight crackling. Also even though I live in a detached house, I hear my neighbors morning alarms going off. One time I had to walk into the warehouse of a local newspaper because they bought new forklifts that made a high pitch sound when they were in reverse, and the guys riding the forklifts had ear protection and it was vibrating the windows of my apt a half mile away. They turned the sound off only after weeks of calling the police.

I used to play in a symphony orchestra as a professional and I suspect that studying my whole life to listen to a pin drop has led me into this place.
That seems less efficient than just searching through the contents without training an LLM to adopt the persona of the suspect. You'd have to double check everything they say, because obviously any of it can be false. So at best it's pointing you to the right direction, but realistically not.

Might be a good lead generation if the FBI is completely stumped I guess? Or they're just bored at work?
I wish you wouldn't speak so authoritatively because much of this is just one way (and hardly the only way) to implement such a system. If you read the RabbitMQ docs (see https://www.rabbitmq.com/confirms.html) you'll see that ACK'ing the messages after processing is explicitly described as a way to handle consumer failures.
As a former FB employee, I have since treated everything from the NYT in particular with suspicion. That said, part of the reason I left was my belief that the VR play was a massive boondoggle.
USB defaults to 5v if there is no negotiation, and it is said that many devices will draw 1a under these circumstances (even though technically the spec says they should expect less) -- it's the standard low speed charging that you'd get plugging your device into a dollar store charger.
A language's type system can disallow certain constructs that you might want to reuse. Mappable, for instance.
This is so dorky. I love it.
I'm with you. The fact that Anki is FOSS, is still actively developed, and has a SQLite database that is easily queryable are also important considerations for me when selecting tools that will be used over such long periods of time. I've just been burned too often by online services that shut down or change significantly from what I originally wanted to use them for.
I’ve never seen crypto hate on HN which isn’t followed by a laundry list of specific complaints about crypto.

Arguably it’s even more annoying than if we just had posts that only say “I hate crypto”. But the idea that there is no apparent reason is laughably wrong. People give a lot of reasons.
Personally I think it's going to come from the gaming space, as they already know how to create virtual spaces people want to be in. Either a really good MMO (World of Warcraft had people glued to CRTS) or something like Fortnite, where we already have celebrities doing "live concerts".
That’s when both electric and gas motor are running. If you want to restrict to electric only and take advantage of the battery for short daily driving it will be significantly slower.
We ended feudalism only to get back to a stronger version of it powered by tech
it would be very helpful to have this benchmark for the same price-point instances as well. e.g. it seems like the 2vCPU + 4GB ARM instance is 4.52eur while the 1CPU + 2GB x86 instance is 4.51eur, therefore it would make sense to do a comparison on this level as well.
I like your planer analogy, though it is indeed off for woodworkers, but in a way that’s rather nuanced, so it doesn’t inhibit getting the idea across to normal people who don’t know a lot about intricacies or working with wood.

There are a couple of reasons why it would be hard to change the upstream process to not necessitate planers. The main one is that logs are typically ripped into boards when the wood is still green, and in the process of drying, boards change shape and dimensions: they bow, cup, warp, and shrink, and you might still need a planer to bring them back to flatness and to desired final thickness.

In their rebuttal [0] to this, they cited a statement from the White House Press Secretary:

> "There is no doubt of the independence of NPR journalists," Jean-Pierre said. "If you've ever been on the receiving end of their questions, you know this."

I’ve read plenty about the potential catastrophe of AI putting people out of work or becoming uncontrollable in some grand sci-fi way, but uses like this make me the most concerned for the near-mid term.

Broadly I think the internet, social media, and to some degree the physical arrangement of suburban/car dependent living has had a negative impact on genuine human connection. While the ability of people to interact has increased exponentially, something is missing from those interactions, and we seem to have built societies where people have more material wealth than ever before, but lack the community, friendships, and shared experience that help us find meaning and fulfillment in life. A world where we accelerate this by replacing human connection with machines does not look good to me.
They are still available in the server auction section
It's an unbelievably sad future to live in what you're describing.
It’s likely they’re just using hacked sites. I’ve seen a WordPress site used as a Viagra botnet. The owner of the business thought it was good for them because they would get more traffic so they had given the other party root access. :sigh: the shit you see as a contractor…

But I’d be willing to bet you’re seeing hacked servers, not necessarily Hetzner’s fault. Hell, they didn’t even have ipv6 firewalls until recently (like the last six months).
> The company is set to only make the hardware available for priority scale-out customers who have already designed quad-socket and eight-socket platforms around the hardware.

I work at one of those customers; we use loads of them.

Nevermind Ice Lake / Alder Lake (2021) / Raptor Lake (2022) -- Intel hasn't abandoned the "Lake" naming scheme yet.
> We should be open to the idea that beauty and delight may be more important than usability or features.

Oh, please no. We already have more than enough of that line of thinking. In software, especially, we see far too much pretty stuff that is horrendous to actually use.

I think Segment did something similar a while back. Instead of using Kafka for the queue of events in coming in, they built a queue on MySQL [0]

I don't believe this is a good analogy. The amount of sugars in an onion is definitely not the same as in a seed of the cilantro plant for example. So the reactants would be different and so would be the product. This is evident by the amount of time needed for cooking, where to caramelize an onion takes a relatively long time. I think toasting spices can vaguely round out flavors, but doesn't really bring about a dramatic change.
> The disconnect comes from crypto people misjudging the world.

The operative word here is "people". People are better judges of what other people want. And what people want is to make a quick profit in cryptobucks, and convert it into something they can buy real things with, preferably without a lot of transaction fees.

Crypto does not understand this, because it is a rigid top-down system that only works on the assumption that there is no fiat off-ramp, and crypto is the only currency being used. But that's not reality; in reality, people would not care about crypto if they didn't think it would make them rich in 'real money' terms.
The PSVR2 does not have pancake lenses nor persistence problems. It also has fresnel lenses and 120Hz refresh rate.

I think there are only a couple headsets with pancake lenses at this point in time. Supposedly the PSVR2 has more advanced fresnel lenses than prior headsets of the same kind as well but I'm not versed enough in the technology to know.

Things only hackernews may entail or wish for
Or because that's what their religion says.

For example, Catholicism: Vatican II's declaration on religious freedom (Dignitatis humanae) says that "a wrong is done when government imposes upon its people, by force or fear or other means, the profession or repudiation of any religion, or when it hinders men from joining or leaving a religious community". Of course, some Trad Catholics reject Vatican II, and for many of them their biggest disagreement with it, is not anything to do with liturgy (as one might expect), it's this teaching on religious freedom. But, unlike many Trads, most Catholics don't reject that – not just moderate or liberal Catholics, even many very conservative ones. A devout Opus Dei member who prays to Pope Saint John Paul II every day can't reject Vatican II, because JP2 taught very explicitly that it was binding, and because Opus Dei was always a big supporter of it (and still is–which is a big part of why many Trads, SSPX in particular, dislike them so much).
I started building a super simplified version of something like this to help me practice flag semaphore, but ended up learning the alphabet a lot faster than finishing that script :o)
USB in general specifies negotiation for charging, regardless of the connector. But most chargers are too lazy to implement the negotiation and instead just always provide their maximum amperage, so something with no data wires should work regardless.
It just doesn't seem like a plausible hack when you take in all the circumstances that have to line up correctly:

1. The station has to be using USB Ports / Charging cables that are data enabled, not just cables that carry power

2. The hacker would need some way of injecting the malware into the charging station ports without being seen, I doubt many charging stations are internet connected so you would have to be at the device.

3. You need to have an active exploit for iOS or Android (or both) that will compromise the device and steal it's data.

It just seems like alot of work for something that in all likelyhood would not work.
The majority of truck owners do is it as a truck, they just don't use it all the time as a truck. Since vehicles are ridiculously expensive most people aren't going to purchase a separate vehicle to do none truck things.

If you buy something as useless as the f-150 lightning and try to pull your RV/boat/etc. somewhere thinking it can go any decent distance hauling stuff, you're gonna have a lot of regret.
Here's what NPR's own website says about their federal funding:

"Federal funding is essential to public radio's service to the American public and its continuation is critical for both stations and program producers, including NPR."

"Public radio stations receive annual grants directly from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB)"

"The loss of federal funding would undermine the stations' ability to pay NPR for programming, thereby weakening the institution."

"Elimination of federal funding would result in fewer programs, less journalism—especially local journalism—and eventually the loss of public radio stations, particularly in rural and economically distressed communities."

Promising idea (and a real unsolved problem for me) but at the moment I am getting the same as kind of recommendations others are experiencing. Mostly books I already know well or would see in other recommendation lists. Maybe three books isn't enough?

FWIW I've noticed I tend to gravitate more to authors than specific subjects, and finding a new author whose catalog I can mine is somewhat rare.
They still require you to downgrade if you let your subscription expire.

Users have a perpetual license to the version released when the subscription started and not when it ended. Thus, if you let your subscription expire, you need to downgrade the software you already have installed on your system.

On the surface, it's not that big of a deal. But there's no guarantee that your downgrade will occur gracefully. It could break existing projects which is kinda scary.

Still, you're right that they did walk back some of their initially proposed changed after customers complained. All in all, I like Jetbrains and am happy to support them.

I mean, the shadow DOM practically forces you to put the styles with the elements they style. If you're going to do that, there's nothing stopping you from just exclusively using the style attribute in HTML, which would achieve the same result without the shadow DOM.

In my experience when I start running into problems with competing styles it's usually because I've not structured my CSS well, although admittedly, structuring your CSS well is pretty hard to do.
