Luckily it turns out capitalism is amazingly good at solving problems with the following characteristics (unlike many other problems): We need to incrementally invest money in expanding capacity. The investments will be profitable along the way. If one party underinvests the others will earn more.

Remember when we were going to run out of rare earth metals? The shortage incentived innovation in extraction techniques and the problem was solved.

In the 1960s-70s serious people actually thought we would run out of farmland and everyone on earth would starve.

Good. I hope their alternative journal takes off. Scientists want to be published in these journals for the prestige that it brings. Hopefully a cost recovery priced journal with high standards of peer review can be successful in attracting papers.

Programming in Style: From Pattern Matching to Point Free
Australia seems to be quite good at software research, also producing Mercury which seems like a very underrated language, but somehow has zero products to show for it except Jira.
That's not really the interesting part.

The interesting question is: Is there a quasi-monopolistic predatory exploitation of a historically captive market? And what are the mechanisms to destroy it?

From my perspective, it's clear that we have a multi-billion dollar/year heist by corporations whose value proposition (logistics, layout, quality assurance) are quickly eroding. They need to die yesterday.
What have you explored or invented out of boredom?
Investing is just anything you buy with an expected return. So you can buy boots with the expectation of selling them - and that is an investment.

But I completely agree with your fundamental point - it would be better described as a sunk-cost.
Best they could do now is have every single username end in 4 digits.

Simple to memorize still and entirely fair to make them all equally ugly.
You invest in an ecosystem. That means that you are aware of the vendor lock-in and realize that moving to something else is going to be expensive and troublesome. Perhaps having to get rid of devices you've collected over a decade or having to engineering a hybrid solution with weird shortcomings. But by investing in it you expect returns as in a coherent system that work well together and that you can easily add more functionality over time and that also increases the utility of your existing devices.

The problems associated with it are why many, like me, refuse to be so dependent on any vendor.

And step one is to not buy anything that depends on the cloud to function.
Show HN: PostData – The No-Fuss Way to Store and Visualize Your IoT Data
Hey everyone,

I'm excited to announce the launch of PostData, a new service that simplifies IoT data storage and visualization. As developers, we know how frustrating it can be to set up complicated services like AWS just to store and view our data. That's why we created PostData – to offer a straightforward solution that gets the job done without all the hassle.

With PostData, you can easily ingest, store, and visualize your IoT data in just a few clicks. We offer a forever-free plan that allows you to create new public devices with up to 20 metrics and a limit of 1000 messages per device. We also have two paid plans for private devices and higher limits for those who need them.

We're looking for beta users to try out our service and provide feedback. So if you're tired of struggling with complicated IoT data storage and visualization tools, give PostData a try and let us know what you think!

Thanks for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.
You're still arguing against a strawman. At no point have I argued for trying to meet the demand for everything with rail.

The point was exclusively that you don't need high density to be able to serve an area with rail. You need a route that sufficient number of people will take, sure. But you'll often find stations nearly in the middle of nowhere, because adding a minimal stop on a regional route even when the density is really low is a means of making even marginal routes between small towns viable.

And that is the only argument I've made: That stations in low density areas can also be viable (incidentally proven by the fact that Montana has train stations, ironically along a route that is ridiculously low density mainly serving places outside the state). Not that every little rural place has a viable route.

> The 100th largest municipality in Norway with a population of 5000 would be the 20th largest city in Montana. The 100th largest municipality in Montana has a population of 237.

So don't even consider covering anywhere but the 2-5 most viable bits of Montana (e.g. Billings to Missoula via Bozeman and Helena or Butte, following the existing roads; EDIT: Incidentally there are already rail lines used for freight on this route and connecting to Spokane, WA, and to both Wyoming and North Dakota), or just ignore all of Montana.

(EDIT2: Project to bring Amtrak back to Southern Montana [1])

You can ignore all of Montana entirely and still vastly improve US public transport, because covering every rural place is not something I've ever (here or in any thread anywhere) argued for.

Again, the only thing I've argued for is that stations in low density areas can be viable. None of you're arguments have addressed that.

> Trying to do regular and reliable public transportation to the small towns comparable to the sizes served in Norway becomes difficult west of the Appalachian mountains.

So don't do that. Not argued for it at any point.

"He said restoring an old Amtrak route would also link the state’s major urban centers – Billings, Bozeman, Helena and Missoula – while giving more options to rural communities." ... "BNSF, the freight railroad that owns the tracks over which the new service would pass, is on the rail authority’s board. "

Micro$oft doesn't care if people think this LLM is actually alive. They're going to dilute what even a LLM means by adding extraneous "feelings" to it instead of adding actual disclaimers / rate limits.

Welp, I guess people are gonna have to convince their elderly parents that no, windows definitely doesn't feel sad that you aren't upgrading.
I wouldn't call it wrong clients, just ones with different concerns and liabilities to consider.

I work with a B2B product, and the client requirements when it comes to security are absolutely a labyrinth to navigate for my teams and our product, and I cannot imagine the nightmare they must deal with on a day to day basis.

The reality of the regulatory scope for IT is that it's chaotic. I've come to the understanding that regardless of the enterprise, likely any given business is failing to meet the requirements of _some_ regulatory framework because of some system in use that was never designed to be framework compliant, it was just made to solve a problem.

Typically there are means for exceptions to the frameworks, but IT teams are reticent to submit such requests as it's not well defined in the regulation "what happens if you submit too many requests?"

Very likely there is an audit script or something the businesses can run to quickly approve/deny a new machine. I get the GP's frustration and your statement over such restrictions/requirements, but I also understand it from the other side; it's much easier to just play it safe than risk an auditor in a bad mood deciding that you're non-compliant and the non-sense that goes with the path back to compliance.
Not very friendly reply. First the english sentencrs are not good enough to be an AI. Secondly, forecasting the combination of usage of 2 non mainstream tech is not yet an AI task. Feel free to argue that you think it is not a good idea
Citation needed on whether it is that kind of rising tide. I think ML use should be regulated until economy is adapted with UBI or something. Benefit eventually does not justify unnecessary suffering now. Maybe in countries with stronger employment protections fewer people will be affected, but the topic is about US workers
Following that logic, would it be more correct to say: "It belongs to the taxpayers nations public"?
Everyone is not forced to do that. So if someone is faster they get @abc. The current system is one of the better ones in existence because it is equally unfair to everyone.
Agree, but it's nowhere near TASM or even MASM macro processor ;0)
Yup. APIs and constraints all make engineering sense. Turtles, all the way down... except when you get to quantum mechanics, that stuff is whack.
Why is a word like "solid" a good choice for a project like this? I'm sick of all these startups and open-source projects using the same SEO-certified names. How about a weird acronym?

Here is a montage of various vaccine "leaders" making statements ranging from the vaccines completely stopping the spread, to you being unable to catch COVID with the vaccine. [1] Some people, sometimes, made accurate statements. But by and large misinformation and hyperbole were the rule rather than the exception.

Accepting and approaching this is very important, because while some may simply want to forget many of the things that happened, others never will. And so it will only further galvanize the differences and divides between people. What should be done instead is to consider why such statements were not only made, and not only left unchallenged, but in most cases - actively encouraged. And what we could do to help have a better outcome next time.

There's relatively little doubt that the past years have shattered confidence in many US institutions (public and private...), and that's not really good for anybody. Repairing that damage can only happen once the past is reconciled in a way that everybody can feel generally positive about.

I find this a tricky thing to look out for. In unusual situations you want good logs, but you don't want to the logs to be the problem themselves.
thanks for the answer :) really, not trying to "gotcha", just was curious if your read of your current TOC was compatible with your goals. I didn't meant to indicate you were exclusively looking for nsfw (but I see how what I wrote implied it), just more a coffee thought while reading this thread :)

good luck on the project!
Surely the law here should be pedantic here, no?
Does the location where a server is physically located or the location where a company is registered count?
Cooperative people >>> talented people.

That's the basic equation for most Japanese companies IMO. They'll still hire "genius" type people in specific positions, but probably not random hackers that have a strong sense of not playing by the rules (of course not everyone in the homebrew community is like that, and I'd expect there's actual hirings happening with the more team oriented members)

PS: I think another cultural element to this is, the "brilliant jerk" stereotype is way less pervasive, and you'll already find within Nintendo's hiring pool crazy talented people who are also extremely good team players with decent social skills. That makes it all the more harder to hire wild ninja rockstars.
Why would this be the only way? I have IMAP push reliably working with k9mail on Android.

Ask HN: How to keep up with non-mainstream AI developments
This article[1] made me realize that there’s a whole extra layer of “underground” knowledge in the developing field of generative AI. I’ve been trying to keep up and dive deeper but I don’t really know where to look for this information (other than HN).

Where do I go to keep up with AI?

Sounds like a fun project. Are you following some existing documentation? Curious to know about the process. Must have good compute power.
And that already have a solution. Just allow user to generate invite link. Send it via email or SMS or whatever.

Clearly someone at some point knew how to do that...
TBF Airport Extremes stopped getting updates years ago. The last update was 7.9.1 from 2019. Granted you can still change settings and not being able to do that after discontinuation is pretty inexcusable.
The Latin verb investire meant “to clothe” or “to surround” (the prefix in- + vestīre meant “to dress,” “to clothe”; the etymology of invest literally means “in clothes”).
I think for a lawsuit to happen there would need to be some interested law firm to organize things. For them to be interested, there would need to be money in it, that means payout times number of participants. However, since nobody except a few buys google's home automation, the number of participants is too low to result in a relevant size.
Seems more than reasonable given that the law does not appear to exclude state institutions from being the target of hacking. If that provision did not exist you can bet the law would never apply to any security sensitive sector.
I don't think such a semantic argument is necessary; invest just means you're committing resources to get benefits, it's not purely a financial arrangement.

I'm positive in your work you think in terms of resource investments and payoffs to better understand whether a project is worth continuing with, and that's exactly what the article means.

A smart home system is definitely an investment in my mind, and the payoff is a more comfortable and easier life. That is all the article is saying; the financial, time, and mental resources are no longer going to be invested into Google smart home products as the investment does not return the desired benefits and even leaves you with a net-negative.
The internet is a series of pipes, connected to an infinite supply of useful idiots, who are just waiting to be duped and bilked.

I agree with your assessment: desktop-browser online banking (with US banks in particular) is a depressing experience given how they’re full of ads for credit-card offers and manual (if not broken) OFX/QFX downloads that only contain a fraction of the actual backend txn data that the banks won’t ever share with their (retail-banking) customers…

And yet, while lots of banks now use SMS 2FA, none of the banks I use (Chase, BoA, Citi, and a couple of credit-unions) offer the far more secure TOTP scheme, let alone any way for headless clients to download txn data except via the literally-25+-years-old Quicken/Intuit OFX endpoints - presumably without 2FA, but with zero documentation in their online help and their retail banking customer support people have no idea what I’m talking about when I say OFX - it’s maddening,

lots of banks’ legacy OFX endpoints are listed here: https://www.ofxhome.com/index.php/home/directory
I upvoted because this is interesting and I like simple compilers, but unless I'm missing something, this is only a lexer and parser. They mention "rgo was to use LLVM" in the README, and there's no type checker or compiler right now as far as I can tell. See the src directory: https://github.com/yberreby/rgo/tree/master/src
You wouldn’t copyright an RNA sequence like this. While it is novel, I’m not sure you’d be able to get a copyright on it, as it’s a set sequence.

Instead, you’d patent it. And I’m not aware that that question has yet been asked. Especially when computationally driven drug design has a rich history, I’d expect for AI generated work to be patentable.
What about solve this random leetcode problem for me...
I don't understand why they wouldn't implement ActivityPub-federation. Instead of strengthening the best federated social network, they chose to undermine it. Why?
I gave up on Google’s stuff when Nest decided they were no longer going to function with google domain accounts. It had been fine for years, then there was an interruption in my subscription for some reason and I couldn’t re-subscribe.

After multiple opaque “Sorry, not working, maybe try later messages, eventually it became clear from support forums that someone at Nest had decided that google managed domains == company email, and we aren’t going to support that because your boss might watch the feeds. Never mind if you’re using it at a company. Never mind if you’re using your domain for a family (as they used to recommend was a great use for “Google for Domains”!).

Any time they were challenges they just doubled down.

Ok bye then…
Whoa! Wait. So I can select a bunch of text and then do !sort | uniq … etc ? Very cool.
So there's an immediate consistency problem the user may or may not have the tools to fix because they rely on the application exposing a bespoke cache refresh. Is this solved for in solid?
Interesting idea.

If I understand correctly, let’s say a popular CDN was no longer maintained and the domain expired, eg popularcdn.com - you’re looking for a way to use a dns record lookup to verify that the domain (and cdn) is still controlled by who you think it is?

I guess for scripts this can be dealt with using integrity hashes but that’s version specific. So this would be a security check at a domain level?

I guess the hard part would be that any CDN hijacker could copy the DNS TXT record when they hijack it.
Break even faster. Upgrading HA is a chore, it frequently breaks, ceases to understand its own configuration, drops integrations.
Much appreciated! Do you have a good source on what a lattice parsing problem is?
With a somewhat lower bar for accuracy, unfortunately.
I thought this would work with the Windows' built-in "Nearby sharing" feature, but nope.

Apparently this requires:
1. installing a Google's app on Windows
and
2. signing into that app with a Google account
Just have to do it in country with sane legal system then. Seems easy enough to find some place where it could be done legally and then rest of the work somewhere else.
Thanks for that!

Reading it, I'm not so sure it's "standard," as it seems Tinder-specific, but they have done their homework.

I'll have to see what I can do to incorporate something like that.
ChatGPT would have used simpler words, but it bloviates like hell. It’s one of the reasons that people on HN can usually spot and downvote ChatGPT-generated comments: they go on and on for multiple paragraphs when their point can be made in one or two sentences, and they go to great lengths to hedge everything they say.
Just curious how the data flow works. Are you sending information to both places, CGenie and OpenAI? Full disclosure, I have never used CGenie. I know you can turn off data collection at OpenAI, can you do the same with them?
Yes, and it seems targeted at people in that intersection who already have a large number of pre-existing gists that are publication quality.

If you're writing new gists for this thing, you're effectively using a traditional blogging tool with a weird submission interface.

I have no doubt this tool is probably very useful for Vlad, I just wonder how many Vlads there are.

Awful. The last thing we need is another layer further away from plain javascript cluttering up web pages.
And as one of my co-authors just pointed out to me, we also found a few security issues in mymail, yet they closed them as "not applicable"...
This study was published from a journal that got caught publishing a questionable study on a major health issue a few years ago that they later had to retract. This was despite their reputation of being one of the best and peer-reviewed. So I don't blame you for questioning it.
But I'm a parent with children with issues. And everything we study from other very mainstream sources says their issues are on the rise. These are issues that you can't ignore or not recognize.

Ooh ... this guy makes the forbidden argument. "FAAS" is essentially cgi-bin with a few functional upgrades and supposedly better language support.

I applaud it! He's right. It is.

Except of course in reality FAAS and WASM and all implementations have less language support than cgi-bin ...
If you think that flagging amounts to censorship then I guess you don't believe that there are bad faith actors who exploit vulnerabilities in human cognition? I don't think this ieee article is nowhere near flagging territory but there are plenty genocide and fossil fuel shills around here.
As a user of hearing aids, profoundly deaf from birth, I am against the philosophy of purchasing hearing aids over the counter, unencumbered from audiology prescription fittings and diagnostics. There is absolutely no come-back on this. Sure, hearing aids have come on in leaps and bounds since the digitization of the chip, and it was not so long ago either, two decades ago there was a switch over from analog to digital, well, in Europe that is. This is just opening up potential lawsuits against hearing aid manufacturers - "I bought this hearing aid from place X for Y dollars and now my hearing has detoriarated, am going to sue for damages", this could be unprecedented and sustained damage to the manufacturer's reputation. Each and everyone who does endevour to purchase over the counter, it does take at least a few weeks for the brain to adapt to the new sounds and could raise false hope "I bought this hearing aid X days ago and not noticing any improvement". Not to mention, that audiologists have spent years to study and how to fit/diagnose/troubleshoot hearing aids based off manufacturers specifications. The human side of getting a skilled opinion from a qualified audiologist on the diagnosis for loss of hearing will be effectively lost. Just no, this is just a recipe for disaster.
Thinking of it as a disorder might help taking rational actions to fight it, like any sickness, eg get away from the person, understanding it's not your fault, and maybe get them medical attention etc
> all the devs writing shitty MPAs are now writing shitty SPAs

Looks like the new legal framework puts everyone at the mercy of CCB, a government body. Hope they have enough incentives and processes to do the right thing with all those 0-days that will flow to them.

Otherwise, this could undermine the public disclosure concept itself, a mechanism to force a stubborn vendor to fix their vulnerabilities.
