IAP cancer? It's a one time payment for an app that does exactly what it says in the description.

Do you expect all developers to give away their apps for free?
Why is this garbage?
Gigabyte Z690 AORUS PRO DDR4. I'm very happy with it. Stable and does the job. BIOS seems good to me, no complaints.

Can't comment on RGB stuff because mine's in a closed black box.

Not sure what NIC it has... specs online say "Intel 2.5GbE LAN chip", my router is only 1Gb but it works fine, no disconnects. PC is Windows only though.

I've mostly had Gigabytes over the years (some Asus as well), and haven't had a lemon motherboard yet, maybe I've been lucky. But I am pretty demanding and don't tolerate faulty stuff well.

I'm also quite annoyed by noise, system is set up to be as quiet as possible with passive PSU/140mm fans/etc. Haven't noticed any coil whine.
I don't think this comment is internally consistent. I don't see any difference between "using the existing mechanism to promote a law" and "shouting down others to promote a law."

It sounds like your biggest priority in determining ethicality is legality: did anything illegal happen in the "cancellation" of the Brave founder? (I know nothing about this event, I'm just commenting within the context of this short conversation).

If not, how then are you determining one method being better than another?
Sony (or somebody else) still makes blank MiniDiscs?

Also, isn’t it possible to use HiMD mode on "SD discs"? I never had an HiMD recorder, but I remember reading that e.g. using the mass storage functionality was possible on legacy disks as well.
Hmm, does not work for Stable Diffusion yet :(

But inductor/triton didn't work in the 2.0 nightlies either, and now it works fine for SD.
NSO absolutely uses memory exploits. I think the person you’re responding to is saying that weaponized exploits of the form that NSO builds are a minority of overall attacks (which is both true, and also not a sufficient reason to discount the severity of memory corruption).
Don’t forget the slowing down of deflation in technology prices. Getting the same magnitude of improvement costs more and more and more R&D money.
Show HN: Easy data extraction from text with Pydantic and OpenAI
pydantic_chatcompletion is a simple but powerful wrapper for OpenAI's ChatCompletion API that enables “one line of code” extraction of structured data from unstructured text using OpenAI and Pydantic.

By providing a Pydantic model as an additional argument to an OpenAI ChatCompletion call, this package allows developers to easily obtain structured data that conforms to their Pydantic model definition.

It works by inserting a tuned prompt that includes the Pydantic model’s json_schema.

Post-completion it further validates the language model output and remediates errors by providing feedback to the model if errors are encountered during json parsing or during Pydantic model validation.

Six examples are provided for different types of unstructured data, including nested data.
We see it when scientific truths —- say, the binary nature of sex -- are either denied or distorted because they’re politically repugnant.

To blithely state that something is a "truth", when it is in fact hotly debated (and there are very credible arguments against this "truth") -- is rather unscientific.

I'm really happy that Möbius did the job that the Syncthing devs don't want to do themselves. It's the beauty of open source.

The only people who complain about it are those who think "open source" = "I get everything for free".
Well yeah because ballparking at somewhere around 7k monthly searches that would be a hundred dollar monthly bill or a two hundred dollar bill if I wanted API because team plans increase the search cost for some reason.

To be fair this is why the $25 plan exists but if the economics are to be believed is totally unsustainable. For me 1.5¢/search is a really awkward spot. Fixed cost unlimited and GPT cheap pricing of $0.000002/token hit "use without thinking" status but at 1.5/2.5¢ I could actually rack up a rather large bill by accident so it causes me to use the service less.
I have plenty of complaints about Google but their UIs are fine.
The Quest sucks as a gaming console as far as I can tell. I still use it everyday, but just for VR fitness stuff. I have a Switch for gaming. Maybe someone will eventually come up with a casual game that can work for VR that isn’t just slicing things up to music (which is fine, but it feels more like relaxed exercise than anything with progression).
There are lots of serious copyright lawsuits in China.
Still bitter that Sony squandered some fantastic tech because they were so shit scared of audio and data mixing. I know the solid state stuff is miles better but the '90s teen in me who grew up watching animes set in 20XX with characters using MiniDiscs still romanticizes about what could have been.

What to Know About ‘Arcturus’: New Covid Variant Causing Pink Eye
But Dropbox business model requires them to use accounts -- as far as I know you can't set up Dropbox on a shared device without signing into an account. This makes it harder than necessary to set up Dropbox in some scenarios.

Sure, they make it as easy as possible to get started, but "easy to use" for first time users does not mean "easy to use" for people who are willing to spend a few hours to read the docs.
Which is another huge essay to read and does not adequately answer the objection. There are for example four fundamental forces. Are we going to find another four? Maybe we can find a fifth, but that is pushing the frontier. if such a force exists, its obviously going to be much harder to find than the others. Same for fundamental particles. There are 16 of them, plus Higgs. Are we going to find another 17? Or 3 battery types. I think psychology is different because you can always find new permutations of experiments.

Do you have any references on small farm size efficiency? In Japan ~90% are < 50 acre both by land mass and count, and seeing the 100m^2 farms in my neighborhood I can't believe it's anywhere near efficient, even when sharing farm equipment.

Especially any of you kids who weren't around when the MiniDisc craze swept the world like a wildfire gone berzerk.
I love brave browser and have been using it for over a year now, but I find brave search to be visually unappealing. It seems very squished up to the left and small, I wish they would let it breath a little more.
I don’t see the appeal of the Pro, If the Quest 3 is a substantial improvement over the 2. I’ll buy it (it would be my 4th Quest).
Like 90% of my searches on DDG just show me a blank page now. What is going on?
Wow. I am not a fan of poetry but this one is just too good. It's also pretty spot on, like someone has put his mind in getting the scene right. Europe going into AI darkness predicted by nullc prompt-GPT-4 28 April 2023.

This is super interesting. I know it happens, but I'm decently traveled and I've never had it happen to me (booking directly with the hotel and having that booking not be available). I've probably stayed in at least 500 individual direct bookings with hotels in my lifetime, to at least give some numbers to the anecdata.
Still it costs 3x as much, and is not really a significant upgrade. No foveated rendering, small resolution increase, no OLED, low-res passthrough. Hopefully the Quest 3 will improve on some of those.
Medicine is a weak-link problem. Outliers on the far end kill people.
Same... even DuckDuckGo (also tested on Google, Yandex, Bing, and Baidu) returned expected results.
That is really cool. It reminds me of I think it was in "Fall, or Dodge in Hell," by Neal Stephenson. The internet had been polluted with spam and fake information, and the future handled this by subscribing to "edit streams," or if they were rich enough having their own personal editor, who would tailor whatever content was out there to the person's tastes (and desire for truthiness, or, based on who they trusted as authoritative).
The premise of the article is dubious. With existing screening/filtering we already have a replication crisis. Why would fewer gatekeepers or more research be the answer?
> Is this meant to be understood by geniuses or something?

Nope; anyone who has some basic programming knowledge and perhaps a high level understanding about how different programming languages work. And the ability to connect some dots together. I'm old enough to have learned BASIC programming on an Apple II and took Pascal in college, which is the extent of my formal programming training.

> “it’s JSON with types and functions and hashed references”

Another way to say this: it's executable YAML, which is a strict superset of JSON [1]. I like YAML, so that's what came to mind when looking at ScrapScript code. I also like clean, minimal syntax when I can get it, like YAML, CoffeeScript or Haml.

> “it’s a language with a weird IPFS thing”

I’ve been playing with IPFS [2] since its early days in 2015, though not much recently, though this will probably get me back into it. Content addressing solves a lot of problems that I won’t get into here but it’s certainly not that hard to grasp. IPFS is available for pretty much every browser these days and is integrated into the Brave browser [3].

> all programs are data

This concept has been around since the creation of Lisp in the 1950's. This enables all kinds of cool features the computer science types get excited about. I've known about this concept since the 80's when I used to teach kids Logo (which is a Lisp). The term used nowadays is homoiconicity [4] but that term wasn't in widespread use until fairly recently.

Bottom line: ScrapScript sounds very interesting and I'm looking forward to checking it out.

Thanks, many devs find themselves having to combine many integrations like this. We hope an open-source solution could be helpful.

We have the concept of Generic carrier that some of our users use to for LTL carriers without their own APIs.
We are hoping to create a network like Convey but decentralized thanks to open-source.

I'd ride a bike on a completely separate path with no cars near it, or if they make an exercise suit that makes me impervious to car crashes, but otherwise I think I'm going to opt out
Copyright infringement happens when you reproduce copyright works - i.e. if I analyze digits of Pi get a Disney cartoon out by chance (which statistically, is in there somewhere), I'm still infringing copyright (if I publish it) on Disney despite the fact that nothing they produced was ever included in the input, and Pi itself both contains theoretically anything eventually.
The Morse Code revival: how dots and dashes are embraced by a new generation
Makes sense, I can definitely see why you'd want to skip a DAC/ADC step.

For some reason I was thinking about it like nowadays when you just do the samplerate conversion ITB with hardly any degradation.
China.

I'm only half-joking.

Not really a law, but their attitude towards IP means that you can find schematics and parts (many of them aftermarket) for tons of equipment there.
I got back into minidiscs a couple of years ago and I'm really enjoying the revival. Modern software exists to use the NetMD players with current computers and the software is actively growing in capabilities that never existed before.

A lot of md players have great DACs and headphone amps and sound great when paired with new headphones.

I love the convenience of streaming music but what md reminded me of was how much I used to enjoy making "mixtapes" to give as gifts. That blank minidiscs are available in a wide variety of colors and designs makes this even more fun.

Until recently, it was fairly inexpensive to pick up old md gear. Lately the prices are shooting up as more people get interested in md.

Ask HN: resources on AI uncomfortable topics and practical solutions
Hey HN folks, I'm trying to find articles, books, or any other resources that dive into the messy side of AI, like job losses, inequality, and effects on poorer countries. I'm really interested in stuff that offers down-to-earth, actionable ideas without getting all preachy or just throwing regulations at the problem. Don't get me wrong, I know regulations are needed, but I'm tired of reading about obvious points that might never actually happen. I'm open to solutions that may also never happen or might be uncomfortable and politically incorrect. I want resources that talk about real steps that people, organizations, or communities can take, even if they're controversial. If you've got any good recommendations, i'd love to hear em. cheers!
I've had a US "extra" licence, a US commercial "Radiotelegraph" licence (no longer issued by the FCC), and a "4Z" licence (no longer active since they joined "CEPT") since the 70s. And still, 45+ years later, I enjoy communicating in Morse code--sending by hand or with a paddle and copying by ear--nearly every day.
Without this thread, how do you know enough to challenge the results? If you have to challenge every output, why is it useful in the first place?
Not that early. "Blogging" started to become popular in 1999.
I’m guessing that means there’s some kind of key derivation happening which means it’s super similar to modern password managers IMO. I realize there are some benefits, but in a password based world I can memorize my highest value passwords and salt others with a common password.

I don’t see the value in making such a big change for such little gain.
I am not sure what resetting history has to do with progress. I would not be against a new nude statue.
That’s wild!! To me it’s hugely inspirational and I meant it as a message of hope and optimism.

What could possibly be horrifying about the idea of technological advancement saving millions of lives and vastly improving quality of life all across the world?

And how else would you propose to stop the carnage? Or is the carnage somehow worth it to cater to Nostalgia for antiquated and dangerous modes of manually-operated high speed personal transport?
I suspect they don’t want to deal with pull requests from people they didn’t hire.
The article misinterprets what the Talmud does, and the author does so in order to try to draw a parallel with Freud.

Along with the written Torah there was also an oral tradition, that oral tradition would have included the info of 2,000 amaos that the article references.

What does the Talmud do? It works under the principle that everything in the oral tradition is also hinted to in the written Torah, and then it goes looking for it.

The article incorrectly claims that the Talmud derived this number from the written Torah - this is false and backwards. The people who wrote the Talmud already knew this number, their goal was to find where it was hinted to.

They were able to do so for virtually every part of the oral Torah to the extent that they even recorded every time they were unable to do so with the term "Halacha mi Moshe be Sinai". (A law direct from Moshe on Sinai, i.e. as distinct from a law that could be derived from the written Torah.)

This is such a fundamental misunderstanding of the Talmud that it kind of fails the entire point of the article.

Probably should mention that minidisc saw a big revival for the anniversary and the fact that NetMD has been almost fully reverse engineered (allowing for uploads from any NetMD unit). All you need is a NetMD unit, a USB cable, and a chromium-based browser (needs WebUSB, then go here: https://web.minidisc.wiki/ )

On the LP topic, that site allows for encoding higher quality LP2 to minidisc by using the PSP SDK's ATRAC3 encoder, which I guess was newer and improved than what the original Sony software used for minidisc burning.
It feels like one of those things that would be really interesting to just throw into the wild and see what comes of it. It's kind of hard to hypothesize with these things when the horizon of possibilities is so wide and the level of understanding is relatively low (compared to the model's perceived capabilities).

The USDA says that only 4% of farms in America are 2,000 acres or larger.

The average farm in America is 446 acres, according to the USDA.

HiMD gear is rare and expensive compared to the regular MD and MDLP stuff. Yes, you can use the HiMD format on a regular MD disc via a HiMD recorder, but then you can only use that disc in a HiMD unit. To me it's not worth it as the vast majority of available hardware is not HiMD. I have an MD boombox, component hifi, and a few portable players. I use them regularly. None support HiMD. If you want to get into MD you will find MDLP models and media easily and can jump right in. Not so much with the HiMD units and media.
There is no basic need to disclose secrets to God. The need to confess is carefully erected in the souls of the laity on top of the twin pillars of Catholicism, Shame and Guilt.
2,000 acres is the top 4% of farm sizes.

https://www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/Highlights/2019/2017C...

By way of comparison, a top 4th-percentile income is $205,000 a year.

Saying 2,000 acres is a small farm is like saying $205,000 a year salary is low-income.
Good that IETF is tracking these things, including the crazy stuff involved like messing with the BGP.

However, sometimes I think IETF is living in the past; it feels like they've missed the rise of platform economy within which also most of the censorship nowadays occur.

Also: the report dates to 2023 but the sources referenced are mostly from the 2010s. There are also a lot of questionable sources involved.
> Not a single other hotel in Ouray had availability, and, if you happen to know the area, anything that resembles a hotel outside of Ouray is going to be a significantly long drive.

I get that you were in a very difficult position, but if there weren’t any hotel rooms, what were you expecting Booking.com to do? And what did the hotel do to help you?

> I always book directly with the hotel if I can, because, if you do that, the shit that I mentioned just doesn't happen.

Of course it does. Booking.com didn't invent double bookings.

It’s possible, at least for GPG. I’m not sure about WebAuthn. Regardless, generating the key right on the device is the most secure way of doing it.

It’s also hard to manage keys you’re loading yourself. Once I loaded a private key onto my YubiKey and accidentally failed to backup the private key because I used the wrong syntax when I exported it. I didn’t even realize until I got a new YubiKey and went to load my GPG keys onto it. I was only using it for signing, so it wasn’t a huge deal, but if I’d been using it for encryption / decryption it would have been a disaster.
