Like others in the comments, I've also been happily using Harmonic after having tried almost every other HN app.

I've got a strong preference for open source apps, so this is the best news I could get from this app.

Thank you for your great work!
Sure, if the entire world economy collapses and we go back to the dark ages, crypto (and the internet in general) will be functionally useless. It seems like a given.

I am imagining a scenario where USD fails, but some other state currencies (and the internet) continue to exist.

Yeah, it does great on little toy examples.

How about the washing machine just plugs itself seamlessly into her smart house, without Aunt Jane having to do anything than a quick identity check on her phone? Probably needs to be an Apple washing machine, though.
I definitely recall seeing some other kanban implementation done in a very similar way, in that all state was kept client side in the browser, server-side was basically just a html page with some JS.

Now that I google around there seems to be plenty of such projects around, and I don't remember which one it was that I had bumped into before.
You misread - the scenario is that USD is dying, but other state currencies like Euro or JPY stay afloat.

Aren't all those potential limitations, in fact their strengths? They are eating their own dogfood, which works for them. That sounds great to me.
I think 5yo kid with lego would have problems agreeing with this otherwise moot statement.
Does neovim let me select a term and quick-list declarations, the definition, & references across the codebase? Step-by-step debug with gdb integration? Otherwise I have to clutch my VS Code.

I'm not shit flinging. Always wanted to be a 1337 FOSSy cli-only hackerman until I started trying to contribute to a C codebase with a thousand files of thousands of lines of code. Hung my head in shame and installed VS Code.
New surgical procedure makes us question what it means to be alive
why is that the case? in the many years since maths has existed - have educators...or just...people in general not thought that folks may want to learn this for themselves? it boggles my mind how much of this stuff is locked away and gate kept.

Curious why you consider cellular networks as an "unfriendly environment" ?
"How do you know the business will not collapse"? That's a ridiculous question. Eventually all things die. The question is not will Twitter die but when, and so far the people predicting imminent demise were all completely wrong. Musk's detractors clearly had no idea at all of how much bloat ideological hiring had created inside firms like Twitter. Even if Twitter gets sold or whatever next year, it won't be vindication for those people because they were already proven wrong.
The problem with that is that the AI can’t reason over the results of computations it can’t see.
Tetris, snake rattle and roll, Mario 3, conquest of the crystal palace, legend of Zelda, Castlevania 3 - there are still some NES classics worth revisiting via emulator, especially with the benefit of modern usb controllers, and save states.
It's not just the Canvas API that surprises, it's also how browser JS engines choose to implement those APIs. What works well in Chrome can often cause grief in Firefox or Safari. Working with canvas elements today often feels like frontend development back in the 2000s

See for example: https://benchmarks.slaylines.io/
I can also recommend https://tuxpaint.org/. I see they also have an app for Android nowadays, but no iOS it seems.
Swapping batteries probably isn’t a good idea but swapping planes might be. A lot of desirable routes like SF <-> LA become possible with two flights, if an operator sets up a halfway point with charging stations you could disembark one plane and embark the next. The plane they just flew in on starts charging and becomes the second leg plane for the next flight through there. With even just one plane sitting there you can support a trip every 45m-1h.
Why would you want to create rar archives tho?
Well RF chamber is already luxury. Cheapest thing is RF tent. Like TekBox from Tektronix. A tent is perfect solution to get testing quickly and cheaply. RF chamber needs some commitment - dedicated office space and big chamber needs in addition some time for installation.

> they also use their a relatively niche version management system instead of git

They use Fossil for source control: https://www2.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki

It is a git-like system, but instead of storing objects on the filesystem, it uses a SQLite database.

Has some interesting features:

- Project Management

- Built-in Web Interface

- Single executable
No, it's the other way around. The complaint being made by you and Gebru is nonsensical.

The exact power characteristics of TPUs don't matter because as I keep repeating and you guys keep desperately trying to ignore, Google years ago committed to buying renewable power 1:1 for the consumption of their datacenters. It doesn't matter how that splits between CPU, TPU and GPU, it's all covered by them.

Therefore, Google's computations net out to zero carbon emissions.

Most organizations don't do this. On average, a kilowatt hour of consumption is not from renewable sources. Therefore, Gebru's use of average emissions would be valid at other companies but not at Google, which means she was lying in order to gain impact.

Honestly, this point isn't hard to understand. It's difficult to escape the feeling that if she was a white man, it would all be clearly received.

Did you read the Bengio article? He explains it in very detailed and academic method.
You don’t actually want that or you’d be paying for it already. The problem is that most news doesn’t affect you and the majority that does only affects you in that it excites, scares or entertains you.

It wasn’t that news got bad or people got more evil, it’s that the value of information cratered and now it’s not even expensive enough to come with editors.
Ask HN: Where to find Bitcoin and crypto tech discussion without the hype?
I would like to keep up to date on technological the achievements and upgrades to Bitcoin and, to a lesser degree, other cryptocurrency technology. Ideally a place that dives into the hairy details, mainly targeted at builders and engineers. Example: diving into the Lightning protocol, Schorr signatures, Taproot, Taro, etc.

I do not care about the HODL, the Bitcoin personalities and the wishful thinking, nor the obsessive focus on the price and us vs them thinking.

Where would I find such a resource? Ideally a news website or a forum, I do not use Twitter, and very rarely Mastodon. (No, Stacker News ain't what I'm looking for)
Wait, when did libsql become popular? As I recall, the libsql startup burned some goodwill when they tried to publicly shame SQLite, after forking SQLite and barely changing its code[1]. Looking at the libsql repo today, it looks like the contributors are still on the payroll of that startup.

Beyond that, the insinuation that good OSS must conform to Github social norms is silly given SQLite's track record of success. The maintainers are smart to direct their limited time and resources into development and not into community management or clout-chasing.

I am partly joking but judging by the state of the last couple of Android versions, that doesn't sound as good as it used to be.
It may be very difficult to predict it but the 2 guys that created created technology are worried. Would you flag an article of Einstein saying nuclear power is dangerous back in 1939?

Oops, I’ve been calling this the ‘utopia fallacy’ for who knows how long.
That’s a large trolley you got there.
I can do it. It's still overly complex for my need (local development with a db, some services...). I don't need the complexity of k8s for that.

In fact, I don't need a big complex solution for most of my deployment. Container are not only to be deployed in the Cloud, or on a Cloud like infra. They're convenient to create and isolate some service on one (yes 1) server without having to fight to install the dependencies. docker-compose up and my blog is up, some random website, a logger based on kibana or whatever.

So yup, I don't care about k8s. I'll care about it when the need arise, knowing full well that there's cost and benefit to it. But not for my current low need.
How are the takes of 2 Turing winners that created the technology you are using right now controversial? You assign exactly 0% probability they are right because of ____?
I agree. LLMs are very impressive, but it isn't helpful to think of them of magic. LLMs are a great tool to explore and remix the body of human knowledge on the internet (limited to what it has been trained on).

The user needs to keep in mind that it can give plenty of false information. To make good use of it, the user needs to be able to verify if the returned information is useful, makes sense, compare with first hand sources, etc. In the hands of expert that is really powerful. In the hands of a layman (on the subject in question), they can generate a lot of crap and misunderstand what it is saying. It is similar to the idea that Democracy can be a great tool, but it needs an educated and participatory populous or it may generate a lot of headaches.

Is the upwelling behaviour introduced using prompt injection into a generic model or what?
To add some practical context to this insightful comment: in Belgium, 1-on-1 conversations are considered private and as such protected, meaning you need a judge order to listen in. However, If the conversation is professional, both parties are allowed to record it.

Now, any conversation with 3 or more parties is considered public. A closed group chat on whatsapp has the same legal protection as shouting it on a megaphone to a crowd, meaning none whatsoever and people have already been convicted for their speech in closed chats or forums.
That still sounds like its selecting for people who desire power - perhaps even more so because of the risk of a ban. I guess it might be appropriate for that kind of forum.
If all the browsers are on the same page, I support it. I checked standards positions and I see they are, at least for now. I hope it stays that way and helps simplify web development!
Thanks for sharing that link, from that example I can see how LLMs could be used to speed up the learning process.

I do wonder though whether the methods that the LLM provides are reflective of best practice or whether they are simply what happens to be most written in SO or blog posts.
What part of this do people find unreasonable? A very large and updated catalog of entertainment for the price of a bimac meal is too much? Why are you paying to begin with then? Pirate away!

I mean, let it all be free, not my problem but if you are willing to pay for entertainment then how can you say you should be able to allow other people to not pay. I ask myself why they even allow other household members for free? Basic cable will cost at least 4-5 more. If you can afford that, replace it with netflix. If you can afford even more, get multiple streaming platforms.

I hate the fact that there are so many streaming platforms but none of their pricing is unreasonable.
>it step-by-step walks her through it directly, with code

This is exactly where it completely breaks down. The AI might as well show her some hieroglyphics.
I would uhhh.. take what he said with a grain of salt
This is not an imaginative scenario. Humanity has been through multiple civilizational collapses in its history. The fall of the Roman empire, followed by the Justinian Plague and the famines of 536 AD, is one such example. In the wake of the collapse there were thousands tribes that formed, which gradually recoalesced into modern european nation states (and invariably many of those made a pass at superceding Rome's former glory).

It would be likely that many groups would inherit heavy weapons but it's not clear that they would be particularly useful. If victory always went to the most heavily armed, then the U.S. would have handily won the Vietnam war without many casualties. And the Afghanistan war while we're at it.

> I don't want a github outage to dictate when I can build/deploy. ...I'm pretty sure I have a few vendored packages that no longer exist at their original import path.

Golang now has an automatic transparent caching proxy at pkg.go.dev. If your build has ever worked, it should continue to work even if the original source goes away. Furthermore, your build should only break if both pkg.go.dev goes down, and the upstream source is unavailable (is down or has moved).

> The truth is, journalism has cratered.

There's an old quote addressing exactly that:

"When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth."

It's not that journalism has cratered, it only reached a level of what people are willing to consume.
Whenever I tried software-kanban tools they always fell into the abyss of things-not-currently-in-my-head and end up unused. I ended up making physical boards, either in a small part of my whiteboard at uni or by getting a small whiteboard for myself. Having it physically present and physically limited in space, just makes it so much easier to work with ... for me that is.
Use current .NET version: 6 or 7.

IDK if I would call it "simple", mainly because it's been around for decades and accumulated a lot of stuff. But, embrace the modern versions and there are simple things in there.

You should be able to do everything from the commandline: "dotnet restore, dotnet build, dotnet test" etc.

Editors and IDEs: you should be able to use VS Code, and Jetbrains rider on Linux.

Sometimes you will have to edit a .csproj file rather than "configuring many options in a GUI window" - this is fine, the file format is now relatively simple and well-documented.

What I see more often in the website / web services / cloud data processing world is that linux is the _deployment target_ - the production system runs on linux for convenience, and we don't really think about the OS in that regard much. Dev is more often on Windows or mac.
this is so cool. a bit expensive to order new images (~$300) but it's still great. older high res images are a good price though (~$4)
That has worked for me precisely never; in fact I gave up negotiating over job offers at all because what I always wanted was more time off, and all I got was "sorry, we only distribute vacation time based on seniority".
I've been thinking a lot about these kind of scenarios lately:

Autocratic regime holds power over a territory with a long history of violent instability. The regime is guilty of corruption, nepotism, human rights violations, suppressing dissidents, etc. This is I think a requirement for it to hold power given the conditions. If the regime collapses even greater violence and general horrible stuff happens. There are plenty of examples in recent history. The Arab Spring comes to mind.

You have some leverage on the situation. You have reliable information about the bad stuff the regime is doing and you are a member of the press, a public figure, whatever. What do you do? What is the right thing to do?

And one step further and closer to the scenario in the article: suppressing the release of that information to protect the fragile stability and prevent a possible greater evil. Is that necessarily a bad thing?
Show HN: Talk to tables, query your SQLite databases using natural language
I had a friend who was paying someone to write SQL queries for their bespoke accounting software, I read a few of the recent papers on text to sql and thought it would be possible to translate natural language to SQL using some of the better more recent open source models. This is a small proof of concept I created which tries to be as privacy preserving as possible, the sqlite database runs in your browser and sends the schema along with the natural language query to a model I have fine tuned on natural language to sql pairs.

It works surprisingly well, for example with the default chinook database you can query "get the 10 customers with the most revenue" and it will translate that to a query which has the formula for revenue and then it executes this query against the db in your browser. It does this without sending any of the database data to the server, only the schema.

An Innovative Tool for No-Coders to Kick-Start Online Businesses
Hello, HN community!

I'm excited to introduce 'Highsea', an innovative tool I'm developing, designed to empower individuals without a coding background. It aims to enable the quick start of online businesses and help turn creative ideas into reality.

This initiative stems from the evolution of Web3 and anticipates that conventional models of the Internet economy may soon become less prevalent. My goal is to foster a constructive and interactive community that mitigates common challenges users face during online interactions.

In efforts to ensure the credibility of the information within this community, Highsea incorporates a robust reputation system. You can explore more details about this in the DOCS section on our website: https://highsea.gitbook.io/highsea-protocol/group-1/welcome-...

At this point, I'm seeking enthusiasts who dare to dream big. I believe the potential of this project shouldn't be limited by one person's vision. As we approach the testing phase, I look forward to receiving your feedback, suggestions, or even fresh ideas. Significant contributions will be recognized, and you may find your name listed among the project's developers.

Join our discussions on Discord:https://discord.gg/7pejman5vd

Please note that while Highsea leverages advanced technology, it's not solely about "blockchain". Constructive and friendly discussions are highly encouraged. If you're looking for rapid financial gains, this might not be the right platform for you at present. However, by following the project's development, you may find an investment opportunity that aligns with your interests in the future.

Let's prioritize innovation and passion above all. Together, let's redefine the landscape of online businesses.
I do understand that, but I don't have to like it.
Control theory in sociology proposes no such thing. Your using an engineering term used to describe machines which is largely the point; human capital being as disposable as a cog in a machine.

> To make things more complicated, they also use their a relatively niche version management system instead of git. Which would complicate making contributions (if they accepted them).

The Fossil VCS actually has a page explaining why it was created, instead of just using Git: https://sqlite.org/whynotgit.html

Honestly, a lot of those points make sense, especially how Git is perhaps a little bit more complex and tricky to wrap one's head around than it should be, making you think more about the VCS than just what you want to do. To that end, I'd actually suggest that people have a brief look at Fossil, it even comes with a built in web interface and some common functionality out of the box (vs most folks needing to setup Gitea/GitLab or use GitHub/Bitbucket etc. separately): https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki

Of course, realistically, Fossil will be dead in the water for most, given that it's still niche and won't have integrations with any graphical software that some might want to use (e.g. SourceTree, GitKraken, Git Cola exist, but I'm not aware of a rich ecosystem of solutions for Fossil, something like Fuel seems dead https://fuel-scm.org/fossil/brlist), or even with any CI/CD server solutions.
