This view is actually a fallacy and it’s why we’re ruining the environment.

You’re not a machine, you’re part of an ecosystem, you’re like a plant, but for some reason you can move around more freely than a plant so you think you’re detached from the earth and that you’re some software running in hardware but you’re not, you’re integrated into the biosphere. Is the planet a machine ? Maybe, but comparing ourselves to machines is just an analogy to help us understand ourselves.

A human can go into space but not for long, even when we do go we need to take the environment , at least the atmospheric conditions with us to survive. While man has walked on the the moon, we never touched another planet with our own hands.
There's definitely an uptick in forgeries, which is also probably why Google has started strictly enforcing the existence of SPF or DKIM even without DMARC.
The fact that traditional parts makers like Cooler Master are putting out Framework cases and such bodes really well, I reckon. There are few things I've bought that produce the opposite of buyer's remorse, and my Framework is at the top of the list.
It outperforms them in their study on reddit. I saw this but didn't submit it to hacker news because it didn't seem very serious. Also I'm not saying ChatGPT doesn't outperform physicians, maybe it does.
That's a really common form of spam, so it's probably dragging legitimate ones into the same bin.
The question I have is, why does the USPS provide a discount for bulk mail at all? Sending bulk mail is less than half the price if a regular letter. It’s basically a subsidized door-to-door garbage delivery. My recycling bin is right next to my mailbox, and my daily routine is removing the garbage from my mailbox and putting it in the bin. Such a ridiculous waste. And it’s my responsibility to opt out of this nonsense? Make it more expensive to send and maybe that will reduce the crap being sent.
This is very cool... Love the simplicity. Do you have enough customers to make it worthwhile and ensure the service stays up?

Is it time to switch to a Mac?

I've run Linux for 22 years and UNIX for 10 years before that. I had a brief flirtation with MacOS in 2006 - that lasted a mere 3 or 4 months. After Linux's freedom to do whatever I wanted, Apple's 'walled garden' was just too constrictive for me to bear.

The last Thinkpad I used didn't have working wifi drivers

There used to be an old saying back in the 80s or thereabouts: "Decide your OS depending on the Apps you want to run on it. Decide your hardware depending on the OS you have decided to run on it."

Did you buy a ThinkPad out of a store and then decided to work out what you wanted to run on it? Or did you do what I usually do, and that's to decide on a Thinkpad and then customise its hardware to suit my Linux on the Lenovo website.

Hint: Intel hardware generally is a better match with Linux.
> The legitimacy of the election by which they came to hold that power, is still disputed by a significant portion of the population.

No, it isn't. Even Fox News was caught out admitting they knew the "stolen election" conspiracy was nonsense, they just pushed it for ratings. It being "still disputed by a significant portion of the population" is delusional.
Linux is for and by developers and enthusiasts. The others so require brew or WSL to be added.

My brother is the least tech user you can imagine and got tired of windows updates breaking his drivers every time they ran. So, he ended up with a Dell Linux desktop (Ubuntu) and has had no problems, meaning bluetooth, wireless, etc. I don't know about Nvidia support.

My disclaimer is that I have been using mac stuff forever, along with Linux because in earlier times, very little of the open source good stuff was compiled for mac. That said, most of my computer time these days is browsing, and processing photos, and I use open source apps on the mac to do that. The imac of over 10 years just lost its backlight, and I really miss the brightness and sharpness.

Don't forget that Apple and Microsoft exist to make boatloads of money, and will do what it takes to expand their business models. (selling content, devices, A.R., pushing A.I. into stuff, SAAS, and lately, banking) Linux is great because of what it's NOT doing, IMO. Getting things done is about focus on the task.
Yup.

> just having a job on its own is something to be grateful of

Graber's book Debt challenged my worldview in many ways. For instance, the bits about the notions of employment. How the norm went from working for oneself to selling one's labor to another. Our predecessors considered employment akin to slavery.

Years later, it still stretches my incredulity. The gig economy is bad, right? I struggle to imagine an entire modern economy, contemporary society where most persons are not wage slaves.

Youngest me was obsessed with getting a good job, having a good career. Old burnt out me is wondering why I worked so hard to be make other people rich. What a waste.

(But at least I got valuable work experience.)
People who have sleep problems are usually neurophysiologically overstimulated by stress-related factors to be healthy if they wake up early consistently. They end up running a consistent sleep deficit and their health spirals downhill.

Yeah I was shooting from the hip a bit - but mainly I was just working on an assumption that the long-standing complaints against Docker on Apple Silicon Macs are well-known. Scrolling down the landing page, they seem to be claiming they’ve solved most of them. After watching Docker fail to do that year after year, it seems extraordinary.

“No more battery drain or complicated VMs… Less than 0.1% background CPU usage on Apple Silicon… Less than 10 MB of disk space is used… 2 sec startup time… Works without admin”

Seems like a laundry list of absolutely everything you would fix with Docker Desktop if you had a magic wand?

If this is the real deal, it sounds absolutely amazing. Genuinely curious to hear from people who have used it extensively.

Non-intertial-reference forces can be traced to real forces if we change the reference frame. In an accelerating car, the seat really is pushing on your back. This is readily evident from the stationary reference frame. You're being accelerated and so there is a F = ma there.

Centrifugal force is pseudo, but centripetal acceleration isn't.

In what reference frame can we properly understand gravitational attraction, if the obvious one is fictional?

Same when battery level dropped below a certain percentage.
I've always found this paradox interesting, as it was discovered fairly recently (1996) compared to other paradoxes in math.

Maclura or Poncirus seem more probable then.
The bit that helped me was here:

> The role of M now comes into sharp focus. It serves solely to induce a dependence between Games A and B, so that a player is more likely to enter states in which Game B has a positive expectation, allowing it to overcome the losses from Game A. With this understanding, the paradox resolves itself: The individual games are losing only under a distribution that differs from that which is actually encountered when playing the compound game. In summary, Parrondo's paradox is an example of how dependence can wreak havoc with probabilistic computations made under a naive assumption of independence.

Trying to rephrase: if you combine systems in a way that the rules of the combination itself serves to "manipulate" the individual conditions of the two systems, then you can get positive outcomes from two things that, individually, would give negative outcomes if not otherwise manipulated. The example with the even simpler "In Game B, you count how much money you have left — if it is an even number you win $3, otherwise you lose $5." (compared to the game where the above quote came from) really sums that up - if you know your starting point you can set up the sequence of those two games to steadily win.

Because as a condition of the discount, it is presorted by ZIP code, eliminating a significant part of the labor cost of processing it.
I hope this turns out be as good as chatgpt and not "we have chatgpt at home"
I have heard of it. I wasn’t really trying to draw specific parallels between Acme and Smalltalk as similar editing environments. I was just lamenting that two of the most interesting pieces of software I’ve used recently are both older than me, and very little except for efforts to recreate those systems exactly on modern hardware has quite the same feeling of freedom and creativity. They really feel like they are there for you to mold into what you need a computer to be, not tell you how to use a computer.

It’s probably not fair to say that we’ve lost a capacity or appreciation for creativity and novel ideas. In sheer volume, there are probably more people doing XeroxPARC level crazy stuff now than then. It just feels like way more investments are made to copy the thing someone else is doing but tweak it slightly than on truly large moonshots.

Part of this is probably the homogenization cause by mass, instant communication, and not forcing you to wonder, how did they do that, and how would I do it differently. It’s a double edged sword though. Hell, I feel like part of the reason some of this stuff didn’t catch fire and spread was because of the limited ability to share and talk with people too.

I don’t know what the right answer is. I just want more cool shit.

In this case undeveloped. We Also have a lot of preserved land around us, but it is not ubiquitous.

Even then, preserved land can be tricky. A lot of State-preserved farms and lands were recently threatened by a project that was seeking Federal eminent domain rights. Federal ED would have wiped out the State level conservation.

Fortunately we were able to persuade the developer to give up (over the course of 7 or so year fight).
I highly doubt gold farms are fully human. Most likely they are human-proctored for things like solving bot-detection events, transferring gold, getting things unstuck. As you mention, bots exist, why the hell would they not use existing crude bots to make themselves more efficient?

I assume one of the biggest challenges with scaling botting is that the traffic is really hard to conceal and sameish. You’d have a bunch of users either connecting from a fixed pool of IPs (and you can check where these are and if they belong to a cloud/datacenter pretty easily), sharing IPs, or swapping IPs much differently from how a human would. And even with noise injected, the high level behavior would be extremely similar across accounts. Plus with enough skills to work around all these things you are almost certainly better off doing better things to make money…

Do you have a source as to gold farming being fully done by humans?
> Gmail really pioneered the "nah, screw you" approach to this.

From my POV, Yahoo pioneered this way before Gmail. 10 years ago when I was managing outgoing mail infra for a company that probably sent 100k emails per day (mostly purchase receipts and subscription notifications), I was intimately aware of deliverability characteristics for Gmail and Yahoo, which were our two biggest destinations by a large margin (if I recall, Gmail was about 60% and Yahoo was about 30%). Gmail, despite being the overwhelming majority of our traffic, was hardly any problem at all, whereas Yahoo would regularly give us the dreaded 451 response that indicated that your mail was going to be held for 2-24 hours and then randomly rejected or accepted.

BTW, if I were to run my own mail infrastructure again, I'd definitely use someone like Sendgrid with a dedicated outgoing IP with a clean reputation. It makes a very big difference. We eventually ended up with our infrastructure split across multiple IPs by function (e.g. receipt emails were the only thing ever sent from one specific IP because we wanted to ensure deliverability).

Spam email would likely be reduced 99% if it cost the sender a penny to send each email.

To implement, establish an email header field for a token. The tokens are one-time use, and can be purchased from some token selling authority. The recipient can check with the selling authority if it is valid. If it is missing or invalid, it goes to the junk folder.

My friend I have sad news for you. Email died long ago of old age but most people loved it so much they re-animated it's rotting corps and make it work like it's 1989.

Modern messaging revolves around the ego if it's creators, as a result it is very difficult to have it become an actual standard that others on the internet agree with and that is independent of their infrastructure and CI/CD mindset/process. As a result all possible replacements are only usable by tribes of people who fancy a client.

Naive hostility against censorship and corporate/government middle-ware also means these modern protocols are consumer grade or only usable by entities that agree with (in principle) the political convictions of the protocol creators.

> One thing mentioned in this article...

I think you mean not mentioned?

(The linked article, and the scientific publication that it references, don't mention sulfur.)

The increases they show span decades (see Fig. 2 in the publication), and indeed end at 2020, so this would not seem relevant to their result.

It would be surprising if this kind of point change could have a significant impact on overall ocean heat content, but I'd be interested in your source. The effect of various gases and aerosols to climate forcing can be hard to determine, not just in magnitude, but also in sign (e.g., https://earth.jpl.nasa.gov/emit/science/objectives/).
If it's so hard even for such a simple program to determine whether it halts, why do you expect it to not be a problem for much more complex programs?
RuneScape fascinated me as a kid but going back as an adult, it got really boring once I got past level ~60 in anything as the content did not change quickly enough to keep me engaged. Never seemed fun to grind something for hours just to get another level.

I thought about getting into custom botting as a fun challenge but it’s still kinda pointless - even if I had a ton of gp and max levels there would not be much to do except all the quests. PvP in the contemporary scene seems way too complicated and difficult due to the reliance on quirks of the game engine.

Definitely an interesting and quirky game but can’t fathom spending days of RL time grinding levels to chop a different color tree.

> This is saying that the problem is unsolvable. This is patently untrue.

That is a very bold (and false) generalization. Spam is not primarily a technical problem, it's a human one. Human problems have mitigations, workarounds, not solutions.

> 1) Does the HELO / EHLO name resolve in DNS to the address of the connecting server? If the answer is no, then reject as spam.

Bold and incorrect.

> I do not filter content because I'm adamantly anti-spam and and talk about and share spam with other anti-spam advocates, so content filters would be stupid.

Only works on a very small scale.

> Finally, Google doesn't give people information about their spam filtering, nor ways to adjust it, so as long as Google applies arbitrary both to server reputation and to content filtering, with no ability to adjust, self hosting and smaller email servers will suffer.

Any provider with any significant size won't give you the full details. It'd be the spammers' dream.

Show HN: I made an app to help plan your Weekly Runs
Hello there,

When I started training for the first marathon in my life, I download a 6 months training plan, printed it, pinned it to my fridge, and started circling each completed training day.

Sadly, I would often get injured during my runs, which would lead to days or weeks without running, and a lot of changes to the plan I had printed.

All running apps that I tried either forced me to follow their plan from the start (which I didn’t want to do because I was already in the middle of training) or made it extremely slow and difficult to add a custom plan.

So I decided to create my own app, that would allow me not only to quickly import the training plan I was following but also to easily adapt it to real-life events.

I called it “Weekly Runs”.

The app makes it easy to enter a new training plan, by cloning existing weeks and making only necessary adjustments. More importantly, the app allows to insert non-running and recovery weeks after an injury, into the existing training plan.

I also noticed that I would often forget to perform some of the warm-up exercises I planned to do before every run. This is why I added a custom checklist of pre-run activities, that must be checked before starting each run.

I hope this app will be as useful to you, as it was to me.

I’d appreciate any feedback on the app. Please let me know of any changes or additional features that you would like to see in the app.
Thanks for your feedback!
I wonder whether all of the FirefoxOS build dependencies for all those devices have been preserved.

(When I built it for a few of those devices, it was layered atop Android, and IIRC the process involved fetching components from various places.)
