I've been using Guix for a bit over 2 months at this point and honestly the whole 'non-free' software thing has not been an issue in the slightest. Use the System Crafters installation iso [1] to get around driver issues on install, and then the only time I've ever had the system complain to me was it warning me one of my hardware components wouldn't work (which it did, since the System Crafters ISO uses the standard Linux kernel). Afterwards, just add nonguix (and I even added Nix as well, so I get the best of both worlds!) If a package isn't in Guix and I don't want to make a package definition, I simply pull it using Nix home-manager. May not be the best or 'proper' setup, but I find it works well enough. [2]

Sorry, but this is a frustrating topic full of double-counting and apples-to-oranges comparisons (arguably on both sides).

Some praries burn regularly and some don't. Most (as I said above, most land types) do not have significant ongoing accumulation of carbon in the soil. Obviously there are some biomes that do. Citing the fact that prairies burn as proof that they aren't long-term carbon neutral just seems to me like a low-quality argument if you are trying to challenge what I have suggested here, that land use changes are a one-off carbon cost which is paid off by biomass being used in fuels which replace fossil carbon.

You're also replying to someone who completely ignored the difference between the amount of carbon biomass and the change over time of that amount.

If I am completely mistaken and land types which are plausibly converted from unmanaged to biofuel crops are in fact accumulating significant stored carbon on an ongoing basis then tell me so and I stand corrected.
This seems like a great way to hand China blackmail material that they can leverage against you.

Obviously, I don't like government surveillance, but at least in the west we are (1) generally protected from the worst excesses by legislation, and (2) generally aligned with our own government's priorities on a very high level view (eg: support for liberal democracy), if not the specifics. Those two do not hold for China, especially for data from a foreigner.

Even if you don't hold a security clearance, you can still be a target for hostile foreign actors, especially in the tech sector. What happens if a foreign actor with blackmail material on you threatens to destroy your life unless you cough up implementation details for a system you're working on, or open up a backdoor?

If you are concerned about surveillance, fine, but there are much better ways to avoid it by using privacy-respecting self hosted and commercial services. Replacing American big tech with Chinese big tech is just trading bad for worse.
UAP Guide - A 15-minute introduction to unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP)
Honestly, it isn't an unreasonable stance. Given that we, and most understandably them, don't really know the consequences of the tech but know it could completely transform society as we know it it is safer if you have a few entities that can control it.

Sometimes I get the feeling that we are doomed to get an AI monopoly/duopoly and sometimes the feeling that open source will prosper.

And while the enthusiast in me clearly wants it to be open source I don't feel it is a given that society will be better for it.
It's kinda like saying people can be reasonably healthy and still smoke some cigarettes. True enough, but if someone is trying to be healthy that's a pretty obvious change to make.

The other story here is these apps all exist because Reddit the site is a joke from a technical standpoint. It’s just a disaster. The community is why people are there and the apps allow the communities to function.
After writing this comment, I was discussing this with my wife. One thing we realized that a lot of people learn these things through their parents who owned homes.

But many people are "first generation" homeowners. I was thinking of building a "Uber" for virtual consultation/education for these kind of questions with a handyman. Thought about calling it something call-a-dad.com.

My wife pointed out there are a lot TikTok accounts about home maintenance where they also do private consultations.

That's a valid concern that I've heard brought up and never heard it addressed, I'd assume they would make the steel very thin, or switch to aluminum.

Whatever the manufacturing challenges are would be worth addressing to essentially have no paint.

Show HN: Incorporation for Canadian Companies (Clerky for Canada)
Hello HN community,

We have built a tool that lets people incorporate their company in Canada (like Clerky in US) and are adding features to let them manage ongoing compliance.

We found that it's really expensive to hire international employees through Deel / Remote ($500/mo/per employee) which can add up to $36k/yr for 5 people. And there are compliance concerns in some countries with using them. But setting up and managing your own entity is quite painful and a lot of back & forth with accountants + lawyers.

So we built our product with the eventual goal of doing all the company back-office management (incorporation, bank account set up, accounting, compliance) from one place.

Right now, we have built out a MVP that lets you incorporate in Canada and partner manually to help with the rest. Feel free to try it here and would love any feedback - https://trysiva.co/signup
The word "Yearly" is already in the title. Adding "annual" seems redundant.

Which isn't fully baked, no, but here's hoping.
You're applying US logic to European LE. Having worked in European LE I can tell you the following:

> geolocation tracking

Only real available ways are hardly useful and easy to avoid.

> sting rays

Really only useful if you already know something will happen or where (about) a suspect is.

> phone/internet/email/web history providers subpoenas

Take lots of time and are often barely useful for European LE due to the international character of the internet and many more reasons.

> doorbell cameras

Contrary to popular belief hardly any more useful than old school security cams and very often much less useful.

> face recognition

Mostly illegal for LE use in Europe: https://edpb.europa.eu/system/files/2022-05/edpb-guidelines_...

> national security mass surveillance

In most of Europe this does not (legally) exist and therefore will never be admissible in court.

> drones

Barely useful for catching criminals.

So no, LE, especially in Europe, does not have an incredible wealth of privacy intruding tools that can be applied willy nilly. But I live in a country where a cop needs to report removing their gun from their holster and every bullet is accounted for. It's a very different world from the US.

A law like this, in my country, would only be used in special circumstances for big time criminals, because the amount of work to actually apply it and the paperwork before that can actually happen is too big to apply in other cases. Maybe that's why I have less distrust towards laws like this, because I've seen how hard it is to actually apply them.
What is better about Rust vs Python's syntax?

struct Foo<T> {
t: T
}

vs (assuming we get the pep for inline typevars)

class Foo[T]:
t: T

I don't see how Python is meaningfully better at all.

Or

use foo::bar::baz;

vs

import foo.bar.baz

I just don't get the problem here. "double colons bad" is just an extremely subjective take that I don't really buy at all. I much, much prefer snake case and would hate to see pascalcase in Rust, but also at the end of the day these are such minor things that barely barely impact readability.
You can find ones with glass lids.

Here in the UK we're lucky that Pyrex is still borosilicate glass, and there are some I've seen with glass lids that are advertised as "zero plastic".
If I'm a lawyer, I hope that my opponent fabricates cases.

Judges don't generally take kindly to that kind of thing, and that is only going to help my side.

Aside from that, it seems pretty trivial to prove that the cases don't exist. Here's a guy on YouTube talking about the case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GExSDY6Wz9Y
So overhead for a single app might be comparable, but each subsequent Electron app that I replace with a Safari Web App would use significantly less CPU/RAM
GP is talking about adding support for a specific format to Serde, something equivalent to serde_json, not serializing an ADT they have. I've also found it to be difficult.

Wait, who thinks that?!
I was just giving an illustration of how it is, in one of the most skewed markets for engineer income to house price ratio.

I said if you don't have to live centrally, you can put that money into a bigger house, and it pays significantly more (double the number of bedrooms, not just dedicated office space).

You dont want to do that? thats fine, but you cant pretend that its materially more expensive to have a home office if suddenly you are not geolocked.
Facial recognition is probably a last resort given there are better signatures.
It's so cool to think of the billions of weights/numbers that are worth $100M. Would be cool to find out where in pi they are located and just share that coordinate.
Ruby is nice, but if you were to actually solve this problem for Python you'd print money. The deluge of knowledge required to actually navigate Python dependency management across all major OS's for the most complex use cases (typically ML stuff with deep compiler/tool chain deps) is nothing short of a nightmare. Especially on Windows, the rage I feel towards MSVC knows no bounds. venv, pip, (mini)conda, mamba, poetry, apt, yum... Obviously the last two are good to know anyways, but ugh the hours I've lost and will never get back to the rest.

Anyways, god speed my dudes.

In the US, trucks are exempt from most of the pedestrian safety requirements (and many of the occupant safety tests too).

I'd guess they never sell this in the EU, because it would never pass, or if it did, it would get terrible scores.

Agreed! Most car aesthetics are so safe and uniform. A part of me is happy that we are finally getting tech that looks like the what people in the 80s thought the future would look like. Next, flying cars?
Good... Hopefully that will stop the K9 dog non-sense...
If we want to continue the scare train, the lockdowns probably increased social media use by a lot on private devices.
Interesting in that I kind of did the opposite. I stayed at one company for a long time, and then moved more around later in my career.

Perhaps there is an argument for getting to the "staff" level quickly, and then hop around more as it's harder to advance past that level?
I mean, wouldn't the ChromeOS way be to just... use Chrome itself without also running server-side JS underneath it? Arguably this is the opposite -- Google goes in hard on the idea of expanding the Web's capabilities, after all, where a lot of the Apple camp has historically preferred keeping certain system-level stuff like hardware access away from browsers. Shipping Node underneath seems to skew more toward the latter, even if it's going to vary by team whether it's a philosophical choice or just a pragmatic one.

I agree that I'd rather just have a system WebView for things like this, but putting aside that the landscape for those is effectively just Blink/V8 or WebKit/JavaScriptCore at this point, it's still perfectly valid to just want a single engine that behaves consistently across environments -- particularly given Safari's history of being slow to adopt Web standards even when they don't fall into the whole argument of capability.

Even Tauri, which currently relies on system WebViews, has started collaborating with the Servo team[0], at which point you're cycling right back to shipping a browser stack for writing desktop apps in JavaScript. (And for that part, I'll take the further development of alternative browser engines as a net gain tbh. See also: Wolvic.)

I did not realize that they backtracked on the exoskeleton design.

https://www.autoevolution.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-went-fro...

"In its Q1 2023 Update report, Tesla disclosed images of the Tesla Cybertruck pilot production line. They were enough for Cory Steuben, from Munro Live, to clarify that the Cybertruck does not have an exoskeleton. The engineer candidly shared in an interview that we are in front of a unibody structure. In other words, it "will be more like a Honda Ridgeline" or "a big old Model Y." Towing and transporting stuff in the bed will face massive challenges due to the way the truck will be built."
> Learning binary and knowing what binary is are two separate things.

Really? Binary isn't a language like Python, it's a notation; either you understand it or you don't (you could say it's 'binary', I suppose). If you don't understand it, you don't know what it is.

Literally true, the number of Teslas getting into accidents in the LA area is legion; by automaker it's probably the single most represented car manufacturer in the Los Angeles area.
Here is as good of a place as any to ask: does anyone know of an embeddable scripting language pretty much exactly like Lua but with more C-like syntax?

EDIT: the best alternatives I'd previously found were rhai (still niche and weak library) and sandboxed JS (heavier than I would like and the standard library is still poor).

I actually agree with the GP comment.

The new UI brought in a bunch of people who turned the site into their personal little estate to lord over the serfs.

Example: I just got banned for 3 days because I reported someone for saying "politicians should all be burned alive." ... followed up by a week later reddit telling me they took action on that account because of the comment...

Example 2: I just got banned for 7 days because apparently "he's singing like he has a hand up his fa*ot ass" isn't homophobia and instead according to their message I'm

For context, the only way for these bans to be served is if the mod of the subreddit in which you reported that content reports you for "report abuse."
Showing appalling judgment and no respect for the legal process should have consequences imho.
My layman understanding is it’s not grounded. GPTs are schizophrenic, but unlike schizophrenic man who is delusional and failing to be bound onto the reality he is in, GPT is actually up in the air.

That and that it’s just a language model, an approximation of neither the world, nor a body of knowledge, but of English, and not an answering machine at all.

Show HN: Conversational AI Question-Only Logging
I'm delighted to present uLog.ai, a conversational AI tool using ChatGPT's API designed to help you document your life and track your personal growth. Check us out at https://ulog.ai.

The inundation of information in our digital age often makes it challenging to remember what truly matters. uLog.ai is a solution to this problem, aiming to simplify this process by creating a dynamic, engaging, and personal journaling experience through high quality questions.

At the heart of uLog.ai is the utilization of Large Language Models (LLMs), which power our AI companion. This AI sends you push notifications to ask you thought-provoking questions on topics that matter to you. By learning from your responses and adapting its line of inquiry over time, it fosters a personalized experience that evolves with you. Every conversation concludes with a summary that's automatically logged into your timeline. This way, you get a chronological record of your thoughts and ideas.

Outside of the cost of the OpenAI API, we charge a subscription to ensure data remains private. Sales of user data should not be a driver of revenue of such a company, but instead the experience should be the source of value.

As for our journey ahead, this is just the beginning. There are plans to improve the platform by introducing new features aimed at enhancing overall productivity and providing deeper insights/reporting. We are also developing a B2B product, which we aim to launch by the end of 2023.
Hello all! I'm one of the creators of sdks.io over at https://www.apimatic.io/

Happy to answer any questions!

We started this project at APIMatic to share our learnings about building and generating SDKs with the API community. We have helped dozens of API providers generate and deploy SDKs now used by millions of developers, giving us some confidence in the learnings we share in this resource.

Next, yes, it is hard to create and maintain production-ready SDKs for a large web API. There are so many open-source Code Generators for OpenAPI that aim to address this, but we found that they often do not follow the best practices for the languages they were generating SDKs for or did not create resilient SDKs. We cover both practices for ensuring a good developer experience for SDK users as well as methods for creating SDKs that help users to production-ready integrations faster.

Finally, while we are building a tool that we think solves the SDK problem for most API providers while following the best practices, we are still interested in creating a resource for folks who want to write their SDKs by hand, a kind of resource we ourselves wanted when we first started designing SDKs. We hope that this resource will be a time saver for those starting their API program today.
What the heck are you talking about? The only flexure to speak of is within the load cell itself and... Can you even call that a flexure? It's a teeny tiny strain gauge mounted on a piece of steel that's going to bend ever so slightly when a weight is put on it. Even the cheapest load cells are precision-manufactured well within the tolerances necessary for the strain gauge to give you damned accurate results.

I've never seen a human weight scale that went beyond a single decimal place and in all honestly they're going to be very accurate. If you get on the scale and it says 201.2lbs that measurement is going to be accurate within ±0.1lbs (actually, more than that but you only get one decimal point of precision). If you put the scale next to something that's emitting a ton of electrical noise then maybe it'll be off by 0.2lbs but I doubt it.
You are right that I'm not French, I'm Swiss and we have 5 years longer until pension. I would love to have solutions which can keep it as low as in France, but I must wonder, how come no other country in the world (except Greece, which defaulted) was able to apply them already?

I'll take only one idea from above: I imagine the same people would go on the same streets if their pensions would be reduced, and by the way, even today you can retire earlier with a reduced pension - so I totally miss this point. Same for increasing dues - one can simply put more money aside any time.
