Carbs are also great. My xr650r can sit in a shed for 300 years and if it was clean when stored will start up in 2 kicks or at worst in 15min after opening the bowl with one screwdriver and cleaning the jets.

There is no fuel pump to break (or weight the bike down), I could run the carb with a soda bottle if I had to. There are no complex computers to break and brick the bike.

Beyond the reliability, the real value of the carbs is the FEEL. This bike is analog, the rumbling sounds, the brilliant popping and gurgle on deceleration. Its a motorcycle, mechanical gear changes, cable operated throttle, controlled explosions.

We loose something with tft displays, riding modes, non analog throttles, and every granny safety algorithm in between our brains and the rear tire.
If they'd used a sane document language like LaTeX instead of markdown, it would have been trivial to actually run the examples on build.

> The hard fact that a community where our 'median commenter' is above the median in the general population hates to realize is that roughly 1/3 or so of all people are just not remotely the type of person who can do the abstract meta-cognition to see they're being manipulated.

True! This is a complex subject that i have been interested in a long time. It all boils down to 'digital inclusion' (making services dumber/simpler to be easier for the average person) for profit, and it's long term effects. But that's another whole can of worms.

There is no easy solution for that problem.
Every study under the sun shows drug criminalization causes more public health issues than it solves. It should be treated as a public health issue rather than a criminal issue. Portugal is a fantastic case study of how this succeeded.

Thank you for posting the link. This was definitely one of the inspirations (in terms of the provocative titles). But I couldn't remember what it was called exactly.
Agreed react doesn’t make sense for email. But the syntax can be better than classic templating languages.

Seems like a better technology would be Astro.build. Basically same syntax as react but it’s really designed around static HTML generation only.
>The primary difference, as far as my understanding, being that the US was really focused on copyright infringement as a top priority evil back when Megaupload existed, and a low-level annoyance in the time of Mega.

It also had to do with popularity, I recall reading back then that MU was like a two-digit% of internet traffic, it was BIG. I don't know about other countries but in Mexico everybody was downloading stuff from there, some (pirate obv.) movie websites were nothing more that a shitty frontend that streamed content right from MU. When the US (RIAA and whatnot) shut down MU it was a huge blow against piracy.

Mega(.co.nz) could have been an exact clone of MU including the content and still no one really cared to move there, so the copyright mafia didn't even bothered.

I used newspapers.com heavily for research in my first book. "No hindsight" was my strict rule, so learning what people thought THEN was indispensable.

It has a monthly subscription, and searching is, well, tedious. Like, you want to go to the Business section, and binary search of the pages plus guessing is the only way.

It seems you just got used to Reddit. I don't see how knowing the subreddit is (much) easier than knowing a website.
Seriously though, it's absurd that such a small group of incredibly privileged users (mods) get to speak for the majority and make decisions for them.

Reddit should be removing these mods, adding new ones, and reopening subs. Mods shouldn't get to hold entire communities hostage when they throw a tantrum.

Anyone can moderate a subreddit, these mods aren't special and they're completely replaceable. They should be reminded of this.
> locking kills performance, and if you don't have GIL, you'll need to manage explicit locks

I was under the impression that the Python thread scheduler is dependent on the host OS (rather than being intelligent enough to magically schedule away race conditions, deadlocks, etc.), so you still need to manage locks, semaphores, etc. if you write multi-threaded Python code. I don't see how removing the GIL would make this any worse. (Maybe make it slightly harder to debug, but at that point it would be in-line with debugging multi-threaded Java/C/etc. code.)

Or would this affect single-threaded code somehow?
I also got an error. Lemmy is distributed? No centralized login, so I need to give my email and create an account on every SUB?

So there's no homepage with all my subscriptions?

This is not a valid replacement unless we're going to bring back RSS and start up a local reader again that can somehow auto-create accounts and re-submit comments.
I decided to try Lemmy(vlemmy specifically) a moment ago.

>"Something that Reddit admins and users constantly miss is: "its the mods that make a subreddit amazing"."

Conversely, the mods can also be mercurial and act like little tyrants over the subreddit. /r/StarTrek in particular is known for stifling criticism around 'new trek' and spinoff subreddits like /r/DaystromInstitute were created by people tired of the mods' actions.

It also raises an interesting question as to why the mods have so much power in the first place and if any community recourse should exist when subscribers do not like the mods' actions. For one thing it does seem weird that the mods of r/StarTrek are allowed to unilaterally close the subreddit.
I feel the same, but docker is actually a net positive in my opinion. You can learn enough of it to be useful in a fairly short period of time, though it does throw up own set of problems that need debugging from time to time.
Why did you make it personal, let's focus on talking about things/ideas.

I'm not even trying to comment your guess about what "target" I am.
I compared [0] the Galaxy S9+ to the Google Pixel 6a, the first Google result I got for "budget Android phone 2023" on [1]. Obviously you can go further downmarket.

As far as I can tell, they're comparable in features and specs. The Galaxy has better screen resolution, the Pixel has better networking... The only thing I could identify as a feature missing in the Galaxy is "dual LED flash" which was obviously technically possible in 2018.

So yeah, I was being a bit facetious. Considering the lifetime of phones, it probably takes 10 years rather than 5 for a farmer in Kenya to have a more powerful phone than a Bay Area programmer does today.

Show HN: Iterative architectural design using generative AI
Hi everyone,

I'm Joachim, and together with my co-founder, we're building Visoid - a tool for rendering architectural designs in an iterative manner. We firmly believe that the future of this type of rendering, especially during the ideation stage of a project, will be heavily reliant on generative AI.

Traditionally, you would send your designs to a professional and potentially wait several days for the renders to be ready, all the while going back and forth with consultations. With Visoid, you can now receive instant, beautiful renders at a fraction of the cost.

Our platform is designed for architects and rendering professionals who work with visualizations of architectural designs. Visoid enables our users to iteratively modify the scene, materials, and elements in a sketch, 3D model or similar, controlled with a simple prompt.

We're still in the early stages, and while the output isn't always perfect, we've made significant strides in improving the quality and the control of the output images. We're confident that it's only a matter of time before we can consistently deliver higher quality images and with even more control.

We're still figuring out how to fit this product into the workflow of our users and would love to get your feedback. I will try to answer any questions you have.

For more example images, have a look at our Instagram

Yea, there's definitely advantages to everyone being on Facebook. Many of us are focusing on the disadvantages of a single platform ruling all communities, though.

Software wise (Lemmy/Kbin/etc), it's definitely not for the faint of heart currently but that will improve in time. For me though the biggest thing is "One platform to rule them all" is not viable. It will have issues, users will suffer, and this isn't some unique thing we've never seen before.

The more quickly we can regain some aspect of "the web" in favor of users, the better. In my book.

Alcohol is also bad. Unlike other recreational drugs, we have thousands of years of tradition in society in how to regulate its consumption and handle the negative effects. This includes social traditions, social pressures, and government rules. The rules go down to the specifics of the hours you can buy it, where, how you can carry it around, etc. Things like “alcoholic” are social tropes that are frowned upon and have been for centuries.

Maintaining the status quo is very different from changing it. This applies to drug consumption.
I know that Star Trek reddit community ≠ Star Trek wiki community, but I imagine there's a considerable overlap of users, and I would love to see the Star Trek wiki moved from Fandom to an independent wiki as well.

>the python core team burned the community for 10 years with the 2-3 switch, and a GIL change would be likely as impactfu

A core team led by him, which also had the opportunity to make much more impactful changes during 3, including removing the GIL, since they were going to mess up compatibility anyway, but didn't.

All that mess (and resulting split and multi-year slowdown in Py3 adoption) just to put in the utf-8 change and some trivial changes. It's only after 3.5 or so that 3 became interesting.

Yep. Same here. I bought a pool and another property at very low rates. Already paid them off. It should have been obvious once the stimie checks started being cranked out what was going to eventually happen. Can't flood the system with that much unearned cash without rates going up. My only regret is not taking out more loans. Fun times. I doubt those days ever return, at least not for a decade or more.

> I’m not smart enough to figure out how to transform data between different layers of the system, so I just don’t. I use the same represetnation in the UI layer and the storage layer.

That has nothing to do with the data structure, is about how the data is being represented in the backend vs the frontend. It's explicitly about changing the data itself.

Stuff like url-encoding and escaping characters are examples of transforming data to be represented differently in the backend (where e.g. it's encoded or escaped) from the frontend (where it's displayed in "proper" formatting).
I'm with you. Discovery wasn't watchable.
That's a great point. Good engineering, from a distance, can look awfully like bad engineering from the point of view of a Youtuber or Blogger focused on trends.
I run a search engine crawler from my residential network. I get this too sometimes, but a lot of the time the IP shit-listing is temporary. It also seems to happen more often if you don't use a high enough crawl delay, ignore robots.txt, do deep crawls ignoring HTTP 429 errors and so on. You know, overall being a bad bot.

Overall, it's not as bad as it seems. I doubt anyone would accidentally damage their IP reputation doing otherwise above-board stuff.

Fair enough, but please only use that with strictly USA audiences. (And remember that public information likely will not be targeted to strictly USA audiences)

Names don't carry any information intrinsically, they are only a reference to the actual information, and the offset information is pretty short, so why not just provide the information directly?

"X pm GMT-3" only requires the reader to know their own timezone offset, unlike "X pm Brasilia time" (which is inaccurately known as São Paulo time outside Brazil) or "X pm BRT", which requires the reader to both know what that timezone means, and their own (or, more likely, requires them to look the conversion up).

(And if the difference between GMT and UTC is significant, I hope it didn't take my comment to convince you about using offsets :> )

> I don’t like people like say, Tucker Carlson, their whole schtick is making themselves viral by making a very shocking mountain out of a mole hill and riling people up, but the government also has no place passing legislation against or “regulating” that.

You can regulate recommendation algorithms (by making them transparent, opt-in, etc.) without infringing on Carlson's right to speech.

My proposed regulations would be that all automated recommendation algorithms are:

1. clearly labelled as automated (not "editor's picks" or "other people are watching," which connote social validation that may not exist)

2. opt-in (no recommendations shown unless you request them)

3. auditable (for X days after a recommendation is made, it should be possible to see each step involved in it being recommended to that user)

None of these infringe on anyone's speech. They just make it harder for massive, irresponsible companies to do psychological experiments on billions of people without transparency or culpability.
> The sources complying with regulation and testing requirements, however light, will be more expensive than someone growing some plants in the back of a spare building somewhere.

That is not the case here in Seattle. The shop near my house sells a vast array of marijuana products at prices the old black market could never have touched. Economy of scale works! The testing requirements add real value - very few people will choose to buy some sketchy black-market grower's mystery weed when they can select from dozens of strains with measured cannabinoid percentages at a legal shop instead.

Techniques for building the worst microservice system ever [video]
That's the first time I've heard this challenge described as 'digital inclusion' but that is exactly what it is.

We are pretty clearly in a world where people who understand computers are a new scribe class who have mountains of power over others, and hesitate to admit as much because it burdens us with the responsibility think about and be mindful about how we use that power.

I have often wondered what the solution to the serialisation of objects between subinterpreters is.

If its garbage collection that's the problem, I think you could transfer ownership between threads, so the subinterpreter takes ownership of the object and all references to it in the source interpreter are voided.

Alternatively you can do something like Java and all objects are in a global object allocator, passing things between threads doesn't require interpretation, just a reference.
> You've already dismissed my expertise.

That's pretty rich, since you were the one who jumped in to dismiss others'.

> you are a hardware engineer, not a software engineer

Incorrect. I've merely worked close to the hardware enough to understand why these things matter. Someone has to support the abstraction on which people like you depend, which requires understanding both the abstraction and the domain where it doesn't exist yet. BTW that's why kernel folks don't rely on your abstraction; that would be a circular dependency.

I suggest that this whole fracas could have been avoided if you weren't so prone to make assumptions (including that one about me), over-generalize from your own experience, and meet any disagreement with ever-increasing levels of condescension. I'm sure you're good at what you do, but try to accept that others are also good at what they do and got that way by learning about things you consider irrelevant or exotic. All I was trying to do before you decided to play "I'm smarter" was share some of that information for the next generation of system programmers.

Premature optimization is root of all evil.

Python isn't perfect, and mostly unsuitable for any system where performance is in consideration.

That leaves everything else including personal utility scripts and packages I use each day to automate random stuff. And I hugely appreciate how fast and simple it is to develop in python, unlike certain languages that literally depends on IDEs due to the verbosity and unnecessary cognitive load.
With The Matrix though, part of the film preproduction was an extended training program not just with Keanu but with Carrie-Anne Moss, Laurence Fishburne, and Hugo Weaving. Keanu was the star but the expectation was that they’d be able to train all the actors to a pretty high level. The main difference with Keanu is that you don’t necessarily want to rely on him to deliver a lot of lines; he can do it, but he’s much more of a kinesthetic, non-verbal actor at heart.

I've been watching mechanic channels on YouTube recently when I need some background noise, and It's very interesting to see them do their once overs on the car, and hear their initial theories get confirmed or disconfirmed as they move through the vehicle. You can feel their experience for the sorts of issues that are likely or unlikely, and the focus on root cause (whether a botched repair job or something broken from the factory) is very... motivational? Difficult to describe, but it's uplifting.

One channel is mostly teardowns of different busted car engines, and as those are essentially all postmortem operations, they play out like murder mysteries as different parts of the engine face varying degrees of damage from whatever went wrong (oil starvation/clogging typically, sometimes hydrolock or more exotic combustion failures). Apart from absorbing some small amount of understanding of how internal combustion engines work, the need for regular oil changes and inspections has been impressed on me about 20x.
