So your assumption is that the airforce can’t source a military grade drone to test with?

It can be applied for a larger dataset, see https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickBench/tree/main/clickhous... (100 billion records), but so far only ClickHouse has been tested on this volume - it takes too much time and cost to load this data into every DBMS.
I can switch between Dvorak and Qwerty quicky if it is a physically different keyboard. I type with Dvorak on my Kenisis keyboard and Qwerty on my laptop without any effort in switching between the two. But as soon as I try it vice versa I feel like I am typing for the first time.

I've been using Colemak for about 14 years now. I can't say that I'm faster but haven't had a repeat of the wrist pain I lived with with QWERTY.

It's been a real boon to have Colemak available on macOS and Linux.

I think the question of criminal liability will be an interesting one for the future of IRL-enabled AI.

Prosecuting the software is clearly absurd, but if it "innovates" in response to an ambiguous request, where does the agency lie? Is the requestor open to conspiracy charges? The API hoster.. ?

If there are cases where no-one can be found liable for the actions of an insufficiently constrained AI agent, isn't that an open invitation to instigate plausibly deniable AI performed crime?

And so on.

I recall reading about some microwave or laser weapon which was pulsed to in theory increase effectiveness. Part of the design was using kinetic effects and the sub light speed propagation of pressure waves through the material.

Basically rather than trying to vaporize armor you heat or blast chunks off in rapid succession which can do all sorts of things including creating strong magnetic fields. Which was then possibly more efficient in defeating armor etc.

> If you need to iterate over all records, just do it?

Who is "you" here?

Usually what happens is that party A builds a REST API (or other connectionless protocol) for fetching a list of some entity-type; and they limit the number of items that can be fetched in one request (because they have a billion such entities, and they don't want to even try to imagine what kind of system would be necessary to generate and stream back a 5TB JSON response); which implies pagination, to get at "the rest of" the entities.

Then party B, a user of this API, decides that they want to suck party A's whole billion-entity database out through the straw of that REST API, by scraping their way through each page.

> it'll work for page 2153 for those who visit it once in a decade

To be looking at page 2153, the user probably first visited every page before 2153. Which means they didn't do one O(N) query (which would by itself be fine); but rather, they made O(N) requests that each did an O(N) query.

> The issue is lack of seatbelt pre-tensioning, not the size of car.

Also, your face is hitting something other than an airbag. The size of the car is probably somewhat to blame - larger cars have more space for your head to move before smashing into something.

Should we be putting airbags into the back of the front seats now? How much would that cost? You'd think that much of the electronics have already been taken care of due to the presence of the other airbags. Add some weight sensors in the seats, something to detect if the LATCH system is in use, etc. Would this be a few hundred dollars, or much much more?

I didn't find the switch to Colemak nearly as difficult as OP. The way I learned it was with some linux-based typing tutor at the time, where it introduces one letter/key at a time, with emphasis on touch typing (which is obviously important because most people aren't getting Colemak keycaps). I went cold turkey, spent 10-20 hours on a weekend, and could work well enough in Colemak the following Monday (probably 40-50 WPM). Then maybe a few weeks to 110 WPM, where my time waster during that period was doing typing tests.

Throughout, I never fully abandoned QWERTY. It was certainly difficult to switch between them, but my office environment was collaborative enough that not being able to maintain some level of competency in QWERTY really hurt.

Eventually, I switched back to QWERTY because there were just enough things annoying about "being different"--NOT because Colemak in itself was bad. Things like configuring keybindings for things like VIM, where half the shortcuts are positional (e.g. homerow navigation) but the other half are mnemonics (next) and now in Colemak they can't be both. And just in general, sharing your hardware with others and vice versa. Colemak was beautiful, but sometimes the imperfect standard is better than the perfect thing that nobody uses.

Switching back to QWERTY I was back to full speed in a few days. That, to me, is the biggest reason I'd encourage anyone to give Colemak a shot. You don't just lose your QWERTY muscle memory, it just hibernates a bit and is groggy when you wake it up.

I appreciated Richard's take on AI-assisted programming:

> It doesn’t remove the need to communicate precisely. ... In a sense, that’s almost the definition of what makes a programming language a programming language, as opposed to some other kind of language. There’s a precise semantics to everything that is said in that language.

> With the advent of AI-assisted programming, now we have sort of a new method of communication in that it’s a communication from computer back to human. In that, you might have something like ChatGPT producing the code, but a human still has to read that code and make sure that it does what you think it does. And as a medium of precise communication, it’s still very important to have a programming language that allows that communication to happen.
Absolute non-issue, full feature films have got to be the easiest thing in the world to detect, and there’s not that many of them. Allowing long video uploads is obviously a good feature for any website that wants you to watch video on it.

This is why phone companies don't really do anything about SMS spam - they make money from it. If they wanted to do anything about it, they would.

The balancing seems a bit off. But oh man, this thing is so mesmerizing and addictive :)

Daphnia are too aggressive eating algae and produce too many eggs when doing so, so the algae population gets constantly suppressed in most settings.

Fish also barely eat daphnia so it is hard to control their population with them.

It is also too hard for daphnia to eat grass. It slowly grows uncontrolled to fill a lot of the tank, significantly reducing mobility and blocking light. Grass also produces too little oxygen.

Bacteria always end up dying off quickly because there is not enough material for them to decompose. It's unclear where the stuff they eat comes from and how the nitrogen bacteria produce affects plant growth.

As a result of all of this, oxygen is always fluctuating at the minimum, going into the red at night often. Which means fish always die eventually, which seems to be making people sad :(

But again, really entertaining and beautiful :)

Same. I feel like once you strip away the abstractions that you probably aren't going to use long-term, you're left with something that competes with python f-strings. And yep I've tried it at multiple points in its evolution and never found it useful even in my toy apps. It was just a time sink trying to figure out why their own abstractions didn't work with each other. For weeks after they released Chat API integration, I scoured the web for working examples of using an agent with ChatGPT-3.5turbo. Closest I got was Microsoft's VisualChatGPT, until I found out it used langchain+text-davinci, despite its name :(

Langchain really seems to be entirely hype, to me. Like, nothing in production I've heard about actually uses it AFAIK. Not AutoGPT, not BabyAGI, nothing at any of the big companies, etc. But it's available in 2 languages and has integrations with everything under the sun, making it easy to adopt! Despite this lack of production usage with positive anecdotes, you're still hearing about this library a lot! Definitely doing the VC playbook.

EDIT: Go to their discord and read the #ask-kapa-langchain channel. This is a retrieval augmented Q&A bot, powered by langchain, which (every time I've checked) has helped ~nobody. I'm really not trying to cherry-pick - this is something that should be rock solid if this software stack is useful at all.

Show HN: The fastest selfhostable analytics and performance monitoring tool
Hi HN, I'm excited to share a selfhosted release of my web analytics tool I've been working on for more than 2 years.

The selfhostable Swetrix allows you to monitor your website's traffic & user flow, track the performance data, custom events and much more.

It's available on Docker Hub https://hub.docker.com/r/swetrix/swetrix-api and soon will be added to Caprover.

Any feedback would be much appreciated!
Show HN: Localias, securely manage local devserver aliases
Hey HN, Localias is a new tool that you can use to securely manage your local development servers.

Use localias to securely proxy a local development server running on http://localhost:3000 and access it at https://frontend.test.

Localias is built on top of Caddy, so it's secure and performant. And because it's built on top of Caddy, it will automatically generate and install a custom root certificate, and automatically generate and sign certificates for each of your aliases.

This all works by editing your /etc/hosts file and generating a Caddy config, then running the proxy server for you either in the foreground or as a daemon. It's easier to deal with than running Caddy yourself.

Your whole team can share a configuration file in your git repo, making it easier to share URLs with each other while developing.

I hope you try it out and find it useful! The code is MIT-licensed and I'm happy to accept any feedback, feature requests, PRs, or comments.

Have a good weekend,
Peter
Thanks for sharing this. I was exactly hoping to find something like this in the comments. I had forgotten about the nreal but it looks more useful than the specialized notebook.
There's a reason that MM has been at the top or in the top ten most popular machines since it came out in 1997.
OP mentioned using a steel sheet, and how vulnerable the signal can be, while it might work for RC ones, if you use a cellular network, it won’t be much of an impact. Now of you can detect and destroy the drone on time, then yeah that works, but you will have to solve the challenge of isolating the cellular drone first from all the UEs in the area.
Go back a hundred and fifty years and you didn't have audio or video of scenes anyway. You had a bunch of hearsay and unreliable information still, but at a different scale.

I think we'll get more "reputation-based" choosiness (not some sort of algorithmic reputation-score, more individually measured, and no, that won't be perfect for anyone) but I don't believe that authoritarianism is also a natural response. Yes, the scale of spam will be far higher than ever before. But I expect people to largely normalize/filter a lot of that out. The elderly will probably be most at risk, still, or even just those of us with habits that formed out of "Wikipedia is mostly reliable" or "random people on Reddit are generally trustworthy" etc, which will be exploited for a while before most of us move on.

Most people have been mostly wrong about most things for most of history.
Guide to a Foreign Past
Not true. Such a reveal already happened ages ago with regular old non-AI huge US tech companies. It was revealed they leak data (on an unlimited scale, actively, secretly, knowingly and purposefully without admitting it).

The data leaking was then further legalized by (almost) all Western governments and extended from secret services to other services (police, army, etc).

I'm talking about Snowden.
I doubt it. I don't think people that can't be bothered to learn to touch-type are the ones going out and learning an esoteric keyboard layout.

When I made the switch, I was reliably about 95 WPM (touch type) in QWERTY and topped out at around 105-110 in Colemak.
It’s just the continuation of an American tradition that has been with the US since the founding fathers.

Benjamin Franklin objected to “swarthy” german immigrants:
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2008/02/swarthy...

Chinese, Italian, Irish, Eastern Europeans, Mexicans, the list just goes on..

There is always external (or externalized in the case of African-Americans) forces trying to dilute the purported “purity” of the hegemony, despite the fact that the country has always been defined by continuous immigration.

It’s just reactionary people desperately yearning for an imaginary past. One of the classic tropes of fascist movements like white nationalism, christian nationalism or the generally sclerotic and reality divorced movement that worships Trump.

Dan's Data - there's a name I've not heard in decades!

Yeah. It doesn’t make sense.

What I’d expect from Apple is the Passkeys are stored in iCloud Keychain. To use it would ask for Touch ID authentication on that same device, then provide the key to the website after a successful auth.

Unnecessary pedantry. You know what the title meant.
Think of it like a tiny pinch of a very spicy pepper in a big pot of soup. Even a little bit can have a big effect!

The reason CO2 is like very spicy pepper is that it is very good at absorbing infrared radiation from the sun, and then re-emitting that energy as heat in the atmosphere.
Let's punish every act that we don't want to see with death (or, at a minimum, cutting off a hand), that will solve world's problems for sure.
I believe the consequence of this line of thinking is the old idea of writing domain-specific interpreters. In your example, the UI generate a list of commands, and you execute/reduce over at an arbitrary time to get to a new global state, instead of tangling all the UI code with dispatching commands and managing state immediately.
so this would be limited to Discord? would it be possible to have webhook integration or WordPress, etc? what are your plans for scaling, or do you want to be limited exclusively to Discord?
