Translating x86 -> arm or vice-versa is always going to be slow. No amount of software will ever overcome that. If you are using arm you really need to embrace it. Running x86 on arm is only a hack - whether it's apple or some random github - it will only ever be a hack. It is one thing to dev on arm and deploy to x86 but expecting x86 to perform remotely close to the same exp on arm isn't something that's going to happen.

Having said that..

If you really want to run x86 images on arm, and while we're definitely not 1:1 with docker (and don't want to be) we're interested in people's experiences with https://ops.city as there is native hardware accelerated arm support and x86 on arm. (I'm with the company behind it.) It's definitely going to be more performant than a docker image since docker/k8s not only rely on a full blown linux but also abuse iptables, et al. It also has support for bridging (outside of the vm) and 9pfs so that would help alleviate your pain.
Yeah, foam surrounds are the cheapo stuff, neoprene lasts.
This is a weird take: I have the least engagement from Mastodon, but I also have the least followers on Mastodon (even less), therefore "Mastodon provides the highest engagement".
I have 0 sympathy if this ruins her life. She’s risking ruining the lives of others.
It's widely proclaimed that Musk is a Russian asset as far as left-wing Reddit is concerned. Musk has been cast into the TDS pit, wherein people can no longer think rationally about a subject. It's all quite comedic to observe.

The US Government is de facto in control of SpaceX, so long as SpaceX is so critically important to US national security going forward. It can do what they allow. If it steps out of line, that can be corrected as needed. They're 'free' to operate within those parameters. There could never be a scenario where the company - as is - would be allowed to relocate out of the US; the US Government would promptly curtail that stupidity if anyone at SpaceX were delusional enough to think it possible.
Scuba diver here. I highly recommend the documentary Chasing Coral about coral bleaching, a direct result of high ocean temperatures (and, I highly recommend taking up scuba now before it's too late :))
I think you have that backwards. VCs love SaaS and hate local software.

Answering the question that won me the Ig Nobel Prize: Are cats liquid?
> Pimoroni was shipping Pi 4Bs last week.

How many? Four? Six? Did they go to scalpers as usual?
It would be sarcastic if people didn’t believe things like that. If you’re in a bad situation, that’s your fault and not my problem. Kids with bad parents should have stood up for themselves.

It leads to the implication that the kids should have picked better parents.

I wish I was joking.
Yeah, I'm using it as a transactional outbox to ensure at least once delivery to SNS.

Can't really think of a better way to ensure that a message is always sent if the DB transactions succeeds and is never sent if the DB transaction fails
"Having a job is a moral obligation and making kids work is good for them"

I wouldn't call myself hardcore conservative but what's wrong with this ? Would you rather have your 15 year old sit home all day playing video games or get a real life job where they could learn a few valuable skills ? Honest question and not trying to troll. As an American, I am seeing our kids being over protected and the result is a bunch of 20 year olds who have no direction and have never faced hardship to prepare for the real world.
Ever used a cleaver? Even picked one up? Perhaps you've dropped a freshly sharpened cleaver on your bare foot and it bounced off w/o any visible injury?

I don't think so!8-))

It isn't paranoia, it is human imagination. It saves bright people and, in its absence, cripples dummies twice over.
The ratio of 45 second “Twitter video demos” vs. examples of actual code/prompts/real world use cases you can replicate is quite striking. Dipping into related discords, I feel like I’m always missing something obvious because there is so much activity but what feels like to me so little replicable substance. I’m a terrible coder so I partially chalk it up to that but it definitely seems like it’s hitting the current boundaries of a parrot echoing itself into gibberish.
Depending on your social circle, it may be the case that a lot of twitter followers have essentially gone dead. I still have a Twitter account (I don’t want anyone taking the username; the account is over 16 years old, and, who knows, Twitter may sort itself out one day) but no longer tweet; if I look at that account, most of the people I followed also appear to be no longer tweeting much (though, who knows, maybe the ‘Following’ tab is just broken).
I thought the raspberry pi was meant to be an educational diy system? Prioritizing businesses over hobbyists seems to go against that.
No, rolling back the blockchain several months would utterly destroy confidence in Bitcoin.
In only a few years we are going to have close to this level of hardware on all laptops/desktops and maybe even mobiles. Manufactures such as Apple will be driven by consumer desire for local LLMs, that are privet and fine tuned with personal data, to move in that direction.

Apple are particularly well placed to do this with the unified memory architecture of the M series processors.

Local LLMs are the future, not in the cloud, I really wouldn't be supprised if Apple drop something along these lines on Monday. I will be looking out for a "oh, just one more thing" after the headset demos.
Exactly! They're being given the OPORTUNITY to work in dangerous low-paid jobs.

Can't they just put together a spreadsheet of their assets, personal investment opportunities, and future income to decide how to optimize their legacy and retirement?
You might argue that the gas is cheaper, but it isn’t cheap, additionally, when it increases (and it will), US pretty much have no other options except cars.

Food isn’t cheap either and constantly is getting expensive (1), and I’m not even touching the subject of its bad quality.

Ask HN: How do you deal with unsavory software your work requires you install?
If you are like me and have to install gross “enterprise” software, do you install it on personal machines? If not, how do you keep it isolated?

I imagine the common answer is a physical “work-provided” laptop but I’m curious, does anyone run VMs or another solution?

Edit: what I’m interested in trying is finding a good way to run a macOS VM on an Apple Silicon Mac that doesn’t suffer much performance hit. Open to suggestions, thanks
Meta question - why do we need the latest version of a text book every year. None of the undergraduate fundamental subjects change every year. It’s a racket - problems and some content are modified a bit and moved around making last year’s text book obsolete for page numbers and problem numbers. There really ought to be a set of 100 or so STEM textbooks that cover all the basics and are open source made available freely with source globally. All it will take is one billionaire to decide they want to do this and buy out rights or commision new content.
I sort of spoiled the joke for myself because the first thing I noticed was that it didn't have a standard license (github says view license instead of Apache or whatever). So I clicked on it before even reading what the language was about, still thinking it was serious.
Another fairly reasonable hypothesis is the difference in account age. If you've been on Twitter for a decade, a lot of the accounts following you are just dead: people who no longer use the platform, who forgot their passwords, etc. The followers you have on Mastodon are more likely to be engaged because the vast majority joined in the past 12 months or so.
> Then it really has; there being a supply in the UK isn't exactly useful to most of the world.

There being a shortage in the US isn't exactly relevant to most of the world.
I welded at a shipyard for two years after the first .com crash, and man was I glad to have a backup skill at the time!

So thank you, Mom & Dad, for pushing both education and more physical skills as both important. It's certainly turned out to be true.
> Having a job is a moral obligation and making kids work is good for them.

The second part of this sentence is not obviously false to me. Kids working exploitative & dangerous jobs, yes that's bad. Kids being allowed to work in general, I think is good.

I like Simon Sarris's take on this, from:

https://simonsarris.substack.com/p/the-most-precious-resourc...

> I find it striking just how early, and how varied, the avenues were that allowed one to pivot off-script, to do something differently than everyone else. For a 13 year old today, what is the equivalent of being a telegraph office boy, where he can learn technology while contributing? What about for a 16 year old? 21 year old? What is today’s equivalent to being a studio apprentice of Verrocchio?
"Nordic countries" is an inappropriate generalization. The other ones are not islands.
Defending free speech without going at all into the nuances of the matter is intellectually extremely lazy at best and virtue signalling to the alt right crowd at worst. And the real bummer is that it's basically never interesting.
I don’t see anything wrong with teenagers working. The issue is them working in jobs with high risk of injury. (Like industrial labor.)
Hello @puzzud

A hearty thanks to you for making this. I had so so so much fun reliving some great memories I had with friends so many years ago. Your attention to so many tiny details is truly appreciated.
This seems to be derived from a dump that surfaced the internetz around June 1[0], even before the GitHub repo[1], which is probably the result of a random person/team's archiving/scraping effort. We won't be able to know the cutoff or the coverage percentage without that person's insights.

State colleges already receive and enormous amount of public money. For 2024 in Washington State, "For higher education, the budget makes significant investments across the state, totaling $1.2 billion."

I propose that students should write the textbooks and pass them on to the next class, who in turn edits and writes more of the same textbook. Using a tool like a Wiki that keeps complete history of every addition, edit, delete to the content of the teaching material. And, of course, with citations and references.

Start with the old textbooks in the school library and teachers editions and give writing assignments for new original writing that becomes the teaching material for the current class and future classes.
Yep, me too. I couldn't fill the job form (because I don't have a permanent country/city of residence), so I would appreciate a correct email address to send my application to.
FYI, which was probably derived from the old mainframe-ism which had spooling before Unix was written. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spooling
Hey thanks, I'm glad you like it! :)
Just follow through with your logic. Were Romans 2000 years ago socialist (Roman state build roads)? Were middle age European kings (they were the state) socialist for building roads? I mean did you read what you copy pasted from wikipedia, it doesn't support what you claim at all.
I think I fall into the 2nd category, like your co-worker. What would be your tips to actually get anything useful out of it?
Show HN: CloneDub – Convert audio into any language using the same voices
Hey everyone! Excited to share CloneDub - a tool that allows you to convert audio into any language while keeping the same voices.

We currently translate to: English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, German, Polish, and Portuguese.

The voices are cloned so that the podcasters sound the same! For example, if you were to upload a Lex Fridman podcast interviewing Sam Altman and requested that it was translated into Hindi, it would sound like Lex Fridman and Sam Altman, but just in a different language/accent!

How does CloneDub work?

Audio Upload: Upload your audio file, paste a YouTube Link, or the link to your mp3/wav file

Output Language Selection: Choose the language you’d wish to convert the audio to - we support English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, German, Polish, and Portuguese.

Generate, Download & Share: Wait for the output to generate, download, and share
* Note we only allow you to use CloneDub for one episode at a time and only allow for up to 10 min of audio for now as it is still in beta

You can view a demo and try it out here:clonedub.com

We decided to make CloneDub for 2 main reasons:
We love building for creators and have seen the impact that multilingual support for subtitles and dubbing has had for other industries (eg. on Netflix) / growing up watching Bollywood movies that we could only understand because of subtitles !
We have family members who are not great at understanding
English and thus have had limited access to information, educational content, and entertainment that we had the luxury of having just based off the language we speak

Let us know what you think
"The purpose of thinking is to let the ideas die instead of us dying." -- Alfred North Whitehead

This effect only works if we let the ideas joust with each other as our champions. If we try to bury the ideas instead people tend to joust less metaphorically. When we stop talking we find much worse ways to express ourselves. That turns the areas we won't talk about into danger zones.
Too late, already deployed to prod :)
I've been to the The Atomic Museum in Las Vegas. It is certainly worth the visit if you are in the area. https://www.atomicmuseum.vegas/
Yes, it is a valid drivers license. It allows you to drive an agriculture vehicle of less than 20 tons. Most EU-countries have a special class of license that allows for this.

It is not defined as an EU-recognised class yet but there is talk about it.

Depends, I took economics modules at University, and that was the only subject where the mandatory course textbook was co-written by the module leader. Well, co-written is strong: they added ten exercise questions and some call out boxes to the default Pearson textbook. Naturally, it was 40% more expensive.
I'm not the person you replied to, but I'll answer anyway :)

IPNS is essentially DNS over the IPFS network. IPNS domains point to a specific IPFS file (or a set of files, like we see here). IPNS domains are signed with a private key; when you want to update your IPNS entry, you add your new content to a new IPFS file
and then you update the IPNS entry by signing it with a public key.
In America, maybe. In Europe, the social-democracy it's a big spectrum.

There's the liberal left, the tankie left, the conservative left (which in the end it's 99% close to the Italian/Spanish Fascism), and the libertarian communism, also known as Anarchist comunes, but you need highly educated people there. No, not rich, just truly educated. In scientific and technological fields.

On Russia, today they're closer to fascism than to Socialism. No one it's Communist in the Putin/Dugin circle. No one. Just thugs, corporate mafias and a right wing nationalism with an homophobe discurse against the West, influenced by the Russian Orthodox church.

Not so different to the Evangelican Neocon from the USA. Switch the American flags on a Neocon for the Russian one, change a little bit its Christian branch and you'll get the Russian Ivan full of hate against Western progress since the 1789's revolution and Human Rights. It probably listens to the Orthodox Pope and he listens to the Russian equivalent of Fox News. Oh, they have their version of Alex Jones, too.
With the same conspiranoic crap.
I have problems understanding online sarcasm all the time, and people do believe some ridiculous stuff, but no one is under the impression that 10 year olds have the right to vote.
This is exactly the promise and there’s a number of handwavey demos, and it feels like it should be easy enough to have something exactly like this as a “hello world,” but I haven’t seen any of the auto GPT-type that can reliably execute even a basic version of this. As others have mentioned, a little scaffolding custom for the project can work great, but having GPT build that scaffolding isn’t there, as far as I can see (I think a lot of people could benefit from a step-by-step of the parent’s use case as a proof of concept).
I work in this field, and this is already a thing. It’s somewhat euphemistically called “inclusive textbooks” because the price is already included in your fees. The price is typically significantly lower than you would pay individually because they know that they’re forcing everyone to pay instead of just the subset of students who would choose to pay if given a choice.
The point was less about the permissions themselves, and more that you're replacing a centralized "everything you want is in one ISO" model to having to retrieve a bunch of packages from third parties after the end of "the main install".
It is a terrible thing for individuals to face imprisonment due to their unwillingness to accept pharmaceuticals being administered to them without their consent. This situation represents a significant abuse of power by both the government and the medical community. This abuse of power will certainly spill into many areas of peoples lives, one of which, consequently, people will develop a profound fear of seeking medical assistance, akin to the fear experienced during World War 1/2.
Instance choice largely doesn’t matter (caveat: there are some instances which are widely defederated). Probably easiest to start on .social, and you can always move later.
"it's about the reality that we might not have a future to offer our children."

But wasn't that always the case?

War was always around the corner and nuclear missile threat amplified it.

Btw. it seems the war made russia change its stance and some official "scientific" commitee has decided, that climate warming comes simply from radiation inside earth that follows a natural pattern. So no need to not burn coal then. So the hope is, that china who does believe in human made climate change will push them to still reduce CO2 somewhat. Indeed strange times.
Hence why the companions and trade schools existed, and why internship exists in white-collar jobs (because if the new hire destroy the prod DB, it cost way much than a kid dying on the job).

Also, one major flaw that the US caught by destroying its trade schools and hiring like qualifications do not matter is that the skill level of your construction workers seems abysmal from my point of view. Only talking about carpentry here, since it's the only trade i witnessed, but if you've worked in carpentry for ten years and don't know how to apply basic math theorems on triangles and draw a plan, you might want to go to a carpentry school.

Also: imprecise cuts, cannot use protractors (thus redoing the cuts multiple time) and poor understanding on how weight is distributed.
There is a pretty big gap between only letting children play games all day and allowing them to participate in high risk labour unsupervised and without special protections.
No, the overwhelming dominance in cancel culture over the last few years has been from the left.

Sure, the right has also been up to its old tricks in tired corners (it dominated in previous times like the McCarthy era), but lets be realistic about who the modern problem is mainly with in the West or we won't solve it.
That happens in the Unites States as well, especially when the professor doesn't stand to profit from book sales (and/or the author is long-dead) and the amount of reading is relatively small. I received a number of these kinds of stapled "books" over my undergraduate years. This included some from the author of one of the books in question.

I'm not sure it's fully on the up-and-up given intellectual property laws, but life is full of gray areas. At the time piracy was not the option it is today (no libgen or torrent sites, Usenet wasn't much help, and the web was sparkly-new), so those breaks were very much appreciated — especially for my classes in Attic Greek, where the relevant textbooks were now rare (though once very common) and unlikely to get much use outside of the class. We did have to buy the Loeb editions of a bunch of original texts (Greek on one side, translation on the other), but I have no issue with that, and they were readily available on the used market. I still have them.
The best way for a US corporation to avoid tax is to lose money.

No. The law generally doesn't stand for "aha, but what if I ..." tricks.
I don’t know much about pharmaceutical pricing or drug discovery to offer an informed opinion as to why it’s so expensive ($300/day) or whether that’s justified.

AstraZeneca’s patent expires in 2035 and as a cash cow ($2B in revenue) I would expect they continue to aggressively fight competitors in court.

Imatinib (the 1st gen drug of the same class) went generic a few years ago and is 99% cheaper now.

I assume we’ll see something similar with osimertinib but I can’t comment on whether there’s any secret sauce that makes it different.

Perhaps one of the pharma/biochem HN commenters can offer more insight.
USB4's been out for quite some time, USB3 is usb you're used to / we cut our teeth on if you're over 25.

There's a vocal subset that argues *USB4 itself is confusing*, but 95% of the time they're referring to either:

A) power (the crappy $5 Amazon cable from 3 years ago will not carry 100W for your M2 Pro Apple Silicon Apple MacBook Pro

B) crappy 3rd party cables you can't trust because you can't trust crappy 3rd party cables, ever
When you're releasing changes daily, a dozen groups are all touching the same code, and all of a sudden one of those ten changes kill the application with OOMs galore, your ops people are going to have a bad day. Oh some minor component written by a newer dev added a non-reversible DB migration in that same push? You're having a very bad day(s).
Microservices are not the panacea that will work for all organizations/products/workflows, but damn do they do amazing things for others. Running a platform with dozens of teams with loose organization, distributed timezones, conflicting priorities abound, it's nice to not worry about other teams poofing our perfectly happy chunk of the company from doing it's thing.
You only have one childhood. Taking that away from kids to force them into working in factories or lower than minimum wage labor for the sake of appealing to some fantasy that they're learning 'real' skills is bullshit. If we wanted to do that, we'd have more protections and give kids opportunities to sign on with labor unions and get mentorship. That can actually lead to a full and well paying career unlike your laughable McDonald's comparison in another post.

There is a newer site, The Atomic Archive, but IMHO it lacks the charm of the now-archived version. To be fair, it does cover a lot more stuff, offering history, documents, books, etc., in addition to tourism guides.
