I don't know how this is done, but not everything USB connected is assumed to be a charger. For example the 2FA hardware tokens aren't assumed to be chargers by default. So I imagine this might be done by faking a different device.
Really great!
With Alpaca-Lora 4-bit training getting usable any day now it should get a lot more affordable or you can even do it at home.
gotdot's editor itself is built in godot, it has an entire suite of Swing/Qt/etc-feeling components and GUI layout stuff.

A long-standing frustration for me is that I always felt like it was really easy to make a responsive layout with Swing (I know desktop apps don't deal with quite the gamut of weird aspect ratios that websites do, but for the apps I built users typically tiled them and resized them between portrait/landscape and various sizes based on need and if they were actively using them or just passively monitoring them. So a lot of the considerations felt very similar compared to modern web design), whereas in CSS it's such a struggle comparatively (though flexbox and css grid and several other similar things have improved it a lot).

Now that, compared to godot, godot feels a lot more like the productivity/design experience I got out of Swing and friends.
We just launched Quivr two weeks ago. Have about 100 users and wanting to share with the community here. The idea is that matchmakers crowdsource dates for daters by upvoting and downvoting matches, resulting in better matches due to large group aggregate decision making.
Pot calling the kettle dork lol
I’m almost at the point where i don’t want to use the internet anymore.
On a 4 page list of my notes on issues and treatments I mentioned that my symptoms always got better on doxycycline for a couple of months. My ancient neuro-ophtomogist oh, you have Sjogrens. I’m like what’s that? Apparently he had seen that many times before.

Turned out he was right.
Running an authoritarian police state is risky because of all the people involved in the authoritarian police state, also it's massively expensive to keep all those people snooping and you have to take them out and kill them on occasion because they learn too much.

But wait, you can just dump that information into a superAIcomputer and get reliable enough results while not needing a break with little to no risk of the computer rising up against you. Sounds like a hell of a deal.

Quantity is a quality in itself.

I believe the persistence issues come up with games that use reprojection from 60fps. I don't think its an issue with the screen itself just based on the raw specs from the screen.

I don't get motion sickness from the PSVR2 like I would occasionally with the Rift CV1 but again, I'm not super knowledgeable about any of the underlying technology.
Cool project. I've always wanted to learn the semaphore alphabet, and I'm interested in alternative keyboards.

The lifeguards at the beach I visit use it to communicate to each other from between lifeguard stands, and I'm always curious what they saying.

Plus, I thought it would be fun to be able to communicate with them in their own secret(ish) language.
the point is that it should start without pointing out obvious banalities.
When I'm looking for a new book to read, I wander into the local public library and ask the librarian there. I'm rarely dissapointed.
SpaceX and Telsa are government funded ... More so than NPR. I don't see that tag anywhere on Twitter. And I wouldn't be surprised if twitter is combing the tax code to find government subsidies. It's the slippery slope fallacy. Maybe we should start calling jaywalkers un-convicted criminals. It'd be a good way to differentiate rural and urban people for political gain. This is just another way to keep people heading to twitter for some extra clicks.
They could train a LMM to reply to emails like I would. Probably very useless, I don't really use email for personal stuff.
kubernetes and related projects.
White English-speaking people are a minority in the world. If it seems that you can't get along with them, why not try out living in a place where there are fewer of them? Cameroon, Pakistan or Indonesia... so many countries to choose from. It could be a healing experience getting out of your bubble and experiencing less racism, homophobia and all the other toxic stuff you describe.

Personally, I avoid all those invoices by refusing to "subscribe" to software. If I can't just buy it, I don't.
Oh, only when pressing shuffle. In the new version in multiplayer mode the order is kept on server-side so that players can't cheat..
This is a lot of words, none of which use anything Block actually wrote to "destroy all of social science".

Advanced Custom Fields is one of the must-have WordPress plugins for anyone who works with WP professionally. They handled this like champs; Upon moving to a subscription model, all existing lifetime license holders continued to have their license honored. 100%. It was quite refreshing, actually.
I don't see the Zero (2 or 2W) in stock often, but they do come and go.

The model 3 A+ has been in stock regularly now (as predicted in Raspberry Pi's December 2022 blog post), and supposedly we'll get back to regular stock by the end of the 3rd quarter this year for Pi 4 products. Not sure about Compute Module 4... but I hope that too, because it's arguably way more useful.

The RP2040 and Pico have been widely available almost since launch, and in some ways are even more intriguing for educational purposes, especially since they cost $1 and $5, respectively. And the Pico W has been an excellent alternative to ESP devices for ESPHome and other automation needs. The built-in PIO has been a pretty interesting feature, enabling some use cases I didn't initially see.

In the end, I think this year's stock availability will make or break the SBC side of things for the maker / hobbyist community.

There are way faster and more feature-rich boards with chips like the RK3588 at this point, but the software support and available libraries are still leaps and bounds better on the Pi, which is why the nearly 5-year-old hardware is selling at a premium :(

Possibly off topic,

I actually registered the org oci-base (https://github.com/oci-base), when Docker Inc. announced the registry fees.

In part as I've been annoyed with multiarch and docker/registry in the past.

Then to top it off the official registry has/is taking ages to support signing/attestation.

Plan is for it to be contributor driven, and RFC style requirements following best practices.

Not had much time to work on it lately, kids, Easter, etc.
Love the idea. All online book recommendations I know about don't really work for me. That being said my first try with this site seems unsuccessful too.
I entered Blood Meridian, Barbarian Days and The Cider House Rules. I got

The Road -> Same Author as Blood Meridian and I guess Mccarthys most mainstream successful book?

Barbarian Days -> ???

The World according to Garp -> Same author as Cider House

The Devil in the White City and The house on Mango Street are the two recommendations I don't know which also don't seem too obvious. But on first look both books don't appeal to me.
Digital Mise En Place
Open placebo studies are super interesting to me. One of the difficulties of pharma is proving efficacy over placebo... because placebo is a very strong factor! I feel like we could, as a medical community, leverage placebo to improve health outcomes much better than we do today. Why not? It seems the only reason not to is some weird Victorian notion about the capital-T Truth.
And yet another in the 2014 Special, where the police make AI "clones" of a suspect, then interrogate them in a simulation.
The video on your site, from the clothing to your expression, is absolute perfection!
Go back to the old question of if a tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound if no one hears it?

Tinnitus isn't caused by actual waves of air pressure on the eardrum. We'd not call that tinnitus (unless it was actually inescapable, eg. a perception of rushing blood flow), that's just an annoying real-world sound.

Hearing is connected to eardrum vibrations by a complicated system of the outer ear, eardrum, tiny auditory bones, the fluid-filled cochlea, tiny hair cells with sensory neurons, the auditory nerve, and eventually the brain.

When all these work properly, the brain gets accurate information about sound waves.

When those hair cells are damaged (or wherever the stimulus arises) to send bogus information up the auditory nerve, the audio perceived by the brain as a result of that stimulus is not necessarily correlated to any accurate frequency data that could make it through that pathway.
Instead Google would just by a "person score" much like we already buy credit scores from third party companies with questionable data use policies.

Google gets to wash its hands of the data responsibility, but all the same negative issues for the user is still there.
I am a crypto skeptic but some of the pegged cryptos have come close to solving that use case.* A lot of money changers in Argentina will accept USDT which you can send from anywhere in the world. Of course you can’t get rich off speculatively trading a pegged currency so it largely goes unnoticed. Obvious caveats: sketchy backing of these currencies, legality of all that, but it is already being used for that purpose. A US government backed coin could effectively kill credit cards and money orders but they no doubt also want some form of KYC to make sure you aren’t funding ISIS or whatever. Of course that is anathema to crypto bros who hold decentralization above all else.
BadUSB emulates a keyboard. So one would want to make sure that the phone was locked before hooking it up to a random charging port. Android exploit demo here:

I'm really negative about the impact AI will have on the society. We have already been drowning in fake news and polarizing information.

Now, the likes of DALL-E and DeepFake can generate convincing fake graphics. Chatgpt and the likes generate convincing fake news. Voice AI can generate convincing voice from small samples.

If you were afraid of your elderly relatives being scammed by people pretending to be policemen or grandchildren, now more tech-concious people will get scammed by the voice and look of their relatives. Are we really approaching the reality where we need 2FA to trust the other person is really who they are?
The important bit here is "free". While it wasn't a great move, nothing was paid for so there's no contract. Also I'm not sure it was ever called "lifetime" (I can't find that), it looks like it was just "grandfathering" old users in to a free plan.

I think that's a materially different situation to selling lifetime licences and then reneging on that.
I'm not writing a several thousand word essay about the best friend who murdered his fiance in a psychotic episode as an example of how psychotic patients should be forcibly institutionalized. I'm merely pointing out the essay doesn't address that institutionalization may make them worse because there isn't enough oversight to ensure the institutions are giving quality healthcare.

If the USB connection truly doesn't get data, your charging experience is unsatisfactory: there's no way for the phone to negotiate higher wattage.

Not "sharing data" doesn't really mean not sharing data.
> This model is not as good for the customer as your version

I don't know. I think that model is better for the customer.
My trust in 3rd party intermediaries has been wrecked by the decline of the Amazon experience, but a marketplace that puts the brand front and center and and takes its job as a gatekeeper of quality seriously would have my business. Quality control and discoverability are the most important factors for me.

I seek out Japanese products for their craftsmanship and simple aesthetics, so in general the service sounds appealing.
Yea most startups are scams run by idiots, funded by even bigger idiots.
I’m responding to your comment, which seems to be based on misconceptions. If you have a working understanding of what religion is, it is not reflected in your comment. Or maybe I misunderstand the comment—you could elaborate what you mean.

I don’t think people who are raised Christianity are taught what Christianity is, so it doesn’t surprise me that you’re born, raised, & confirmed. People who are born and raised Christian are generally taught how to practice Christianity, and that instruction is tailored to their specific sect. They are not (typically) taught what Christianity is, especially other sects, because it is not really relevant to the practice of Christianity (this is not a judgment, I think it’s fine). I would expect people to learn what Christianity is if they went to seminary (depending, some seminaries don’t) or if they studied religion in college.

It is only through a misconception of religion that the accusation of pretense really stands. “These people aren’t really Christians, they are just pretending” is an old chestnut that has started enough wars; it is long past time to disabuse people of the misunderstandings that lead to those accusations in the first place.
> But onboarding—specifically, choosing a server—was too tedious for non-niche adoption.

I'm not entirely sure that's a bug. Specifically, I'm curious whether it squelches non-niche conversations like: Are vaccines a nefarious plot by Bill Gates to implant mind-control chips?
None of these are necessary, except half of #2. All you'd need is a "middleman" device that is subtle enough to avoid notice by the person plugging in, just like how credit card skimmers work.

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

Doesn't matter, because you're (unwittingly) plugging into the attacker's device, not the station's.

> 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.

You don't need to "inject" anything; you just need to physically place it between the user and the actual port and disguise it enough that people not paying attention won't notice. Or even just put a fake "charging station" in a place that the station didn't have one.

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

People are plugging in their phone so they can use it. They'll plug in the phone, unlock it, and browse the internet. What can't you do in that situation?
I followed the Syrian war heavily and the suggestion that its coverage was comparable to the coverage Ukraine got is not true and I think we all know it is not true.
I've been thinking about this too.

It's funny that the things we always understood as being the "most human" activities are actually the first ones being gobbled up by AI. Once media consumption becomes almost entirely AI created (music, TV, news, and your social media feeds), what happens to shared cultural experiences, and how does that impact human connection and health?

There's also some new risks to society. What if, similar to Roko's basilisk, people who fear losing their jobs to AI try and force an end to AI research by helping it become sentient/self-hosted? Would we try and stop it, ban research, or is AI a train you truly cannot stop at this point?

Lots of interesting questions at least, but lots of scary possible answers.

I would imagine that leaving a charger plugged in to a public outlet is not as interesting as you have presented it to be.

Sure, you would be leaving evidence, but if your plan works, that evidence won't be sought out anyway.

If you sent a mysterious package, it wouldn't be strange or out-of-character for someone to investigate that package intentionally: which presents a significant attack surface for the discovery of your ruse.
Ok I assume somebody is already training on HN responses, speak up and point us to the github url, thanks in advance
> Could Google, or any other company out there, build a digital copy of you that answers questions exactly the way you would?

Some of us have been planning for this situation for years by having our recorded digital footprint have no relation to our in person personality. At best they could simulate what they think we are like in person.

A side benefit of all this is that it gives otherwise nice people an excuse to be a complete jerk online.

> I’ve never seen ID cards from other countries that include an address of residence.

In the USA the driver's licenses are ID cards and have addresses. Or if you don't have a license you can get a regular ID card, which has an address. The laws vary from state to state about how long you can go after you move before it gets updated. I'm not aware of a legal requirement to have one though, unless you're driving.

Its even more lopsided when modded to the teeth.
I only knew about non-computer semaphores from the Swallows and Amazons books (which are from the 1930s and 1940s). If my mom hadn't read those books to me as a child, I don't know that I'd have come across the concept.

"Token ring" is something I learned in networking, and the Wikipedia article doesn't mention railroads at all. I assume that's where the term comes from, but I only heard about railway signalling tokens decades later. (I think they may have appeared in the Thomas the Tank Engine stories on Shining Time Station, but I was quite young at the time.)
It is more of generate more garbage / collect more garbage (Java) vs Not generating that much garbage in first place (Go).

This is use case for writing GC benchmarks developers not for typical enterprise CRUD developers.
What is sort of ironic is that they were already leading in that area too, they have one of the best labs in the world for that kind of research.

But they didn't really do much public messaging around it.
The phone’s not always using true GPS (reading satellites.) When it does, it uses more energy. In a difficult environment it scans for more satellites than usual, which uses even more energy.

Basically, the phone’s battery life depends on disabling hardware components, or running them in a low power mode, as much as possible.
"... manuscript was taken to an isolated Greek monastery in Palestine, possibly to protect it from occupying crusaders, who often equated Greek script with heresy against their Latin church and either burned or looted many such texts ..."

Depressingly reminiscent of Bishop Landa and the destruction of Mayan codices ("as they contained nothing in which were not to be seen as superstition and lies of the devil, we burned them all"). How much of our common cultural heritage has been destroyed by religious zealots over the centuries?
OK? I actually agree with the general sentiment. I just happen to quite enjoy that combo and while I do enjoy taqueria sauces, I just haven't found any that have paired quite as well as that.

The intent of this application is to empower the Web User to effect site algorithm design.

Try it out, and leave some feedback. Interesting?
I've been uncomfortable with the uneven application of those labels. I think they are a good idea and should be applied to all government sponsored media. It should be basic transparency, instead of a selective scary warning.
