Vagrant was fantastic pre-Docker and is still arguably more useful for certain cases, but I recall having issues running it last I tried. Based on the website, VirtualBox still lacks stable ARM64 support. Would "boxes" downloaded from the Vagrant cloud need to be built for ARM64 as well, or does it emulate?
"Get out of crypto trading platforms" is entirely aligned with the "idealogical" crypto people, isn't it? "Not your keys, not your coins" and that.

I'm going to sound like an entitled whiny old guy shouting at clouds, but - what the hell; with all the knowledge being either locked and churned on Discord, or released in form of YouTube videos with no transcript and extremely low content density - how is anyone with a job supposed to keep up with this? Or is that a new form of gatekeeping - if you can't afford to burn a lot of time and attention as if in some kind of Proof of Work scheme, you're not allowed to play with the newest toys?

I mean, Discord I can sort of get - chit-chatting and shitposting is easier than writing articles or maintaining wikis, and it kind of grows organically from there. But YouTube? Surely making a video takes 10-100x the effort and cost, compared to writing an article with some screenshots, while also being 10x more costly to consume (in terms of wasted time and strained attention). How does that even work?
Your last example may or may not be accurate. Did it actually ever travel to that depth?

"to which" is technically EDIT: better formal English. For a headline in mainstream news? I might well give it a pass.
This 100%.

I'll complete with patterns I'm using for exit traps:

- for temporary files I have a global array that lists files to remove (and for my use case umount them beforehand)

- in the EC2 example, I add a line with just "bash", so I have an env with the container still running to debug what happened and I just need to close that shell to clear the allocated resources
Regardless of ancestry, an American permanent resident is an American. Same with any country.

It makes no difference whether China is only targeting people whose ancestry traces to Sweden or Xiamen. If they aren’t a resident of China it’s not their business, even if they still have relatives back there.

Why does it matter? Why is that point relevant or being made?
The comparison to Madoff is not apt. Madoff hid losses by committing accounting fraud, whereas every single transaction in the Bitcoin network is visible to everyone and, moreover, cryptographically verifiable by everyone. As long as the distributed consensus algorithm continues to function, Bitcoin will continue to exist. Period. (Government regulations cannot kill it; they can only drive it underground, as with gold.)

Anyone who predicts Bitcoin's demise must explain precisely how and why its network would stop functioning.

Oh, right. Now I have no clue how these numbers compare. But indeed they’re definitely not apples to apples.
Yeah—as a TCL fan, I agree. Comparing implementations of common coding tasks with other languages doesn’t highlight TCL’s strengths or, really, its purpose.

Personally, TCL fits a niche like QBASIC did. QBASIC was the shortest path from brain -> code drawing on a monitor. Literally 1 line to draw a shape, no initialization and not even an entry point function.

TCL similarly lets you just get on with what you’re doing when you need glue code, GUI’s, and DSL’s. It is easily (even trivially) able to do things that are just a pain in other languages, especially all at once:

- interop with native code (no limits on who calls who or in what order)

- define GUI’s that behave well without it being a huge pain to make anything non-trivial (lookin at you, UE5)

- create novel control flow that feels built-in

- implement an interactive GUI debugger with breakpoints & variable watch in ~200 LOC (saw this once, it’s amazing what you get “for free”)

- save or load a running program’s entire state, including code defined at runtime

- detour any function, allowing you to optimize or patch on the fly

- run from tiny, standalone executables so your users don’t have to install a ton of crap just to run your widget

There’s more but you get the idea. It’s been around for decades for a reason :)

> So what is Elon’s game here? Perhaps, as I have written before, he is essentially cosplaying as a bankrupt entity—by not paying his bills as they become due—so that he can scare the big Wall Street banks that own Twitter’s $13 billion of debt to sell it to him at a steep discount, perhaps at a price even lower than the 50 cents on the dollar it would probably trade for now, if marketed to investors. Not that Elon necessarily wants to buy the debt, even at a big discount. But this may be the path of least resistance if he wants to prevent the company from falling into the hands of the voracious distressed debt community on Wall Street who are in the “loan-to-own” business.

> If the debt gets bought by the likes of DoubleLine Capital, or Apollo, or Oaktree Capital, then all bets are off for Elon and he will lose control of Twitter.

I have little reason to think Musk will lose control. It's much too valuable (politically, socially, and for his business) even if he keeps losing money.
Ask HN: Indie iOS App Marketing Strategy
I am about to begin marketing my new app for iOS. iOS development is a side business for me so the stakes are pretty low. However, I’ve struggled with the marketing side of the business.

My first app was reasonably successful due to having a niche market and fairly well trafficked enthusiast subreddits where I could post for marketing purposes. Is developing a social media following and posting to ProductHunt and crossing your fingers the main avenue for success today?

What are Hacker News’ thoughts on the best strategy for bringing a new app to market?
"Rare" might be a strong word, but I would have order of magnitude more confidence living in an apartment if I know the head engineer who supervised its construction lives in the top floor. Or I would feel 10x more confident in an investment if I know its seller has a significant amount of his net worth invested in it. It is a very natural heuristic and has a long history.

Where it mostly fails is incompetence, some might have the best intention of something succeeding but their best effort is still not worth much.
The worst thing that you can do is to do things that have no meaning. That is, when you look back, will you be proud/happy about what you did, or will you even be able to pick out anything specific that you did?

If you do things with friends, snap a few pictures.

If you binge-watch a tv show, watch it with someone else and then discuss it later. Then it becomes part of a relationship, not just empty entertainment.

If you do sports/exercise, do it with a goal in mind.

If you write code, write something that you can share with others, either by making it open source (or contributing to an open source project) or by making the results available to others (and thereby creating a "portfolio" project).

Whatever you do, make it memorable. It doesn't have to be big and impressive, it just has to have some meaning to you.

This sounds like a dystopian nightmare. I have no interest in charging an EV where using an app is a requirement.
Are your electric lines all buried? I guess if they are that would make it much more difficult. Otherwise, you have poles or something to keep the lines in the air.

I'm just amazed America has so much free parking still. People buy houses, even if they have garages, they use the garage as storage and park their car on the street. Having lived in other countries where that simply can't happen, its like this country practically gives away parking spaces for free.
Oh absolutely and probably with a manual backup too.

I think this is a very well articulated breakdown of the "LLM Core Code Shell" (https://www.latent.space/p/function-agents#%C2%A7llm-core-co...) view of the world. but it is underselling the potential to leave the agents stuff to a three paragraph "what about agents?" piece at the end. the emerging architecture of "Code Core, LLM Shell" decentralizing and specializing the role of the LLM will hopefully get more airtime in the december a16z landscape chart!
BRICS is a joke. Russia has a growing pile of Indian rupees and complains to India that they don't want any more. India will never agree to use the Chinese yuan as a dollar replacement because Xi Jinping is flashing his junk on their borders. China looks down on uppity India since they have a massive trade surplus with them. South Africa with water shortages and 16 hour power outages is not going anywhere economically. None of them want Russian currency because of sanctions. That leaves Brazil - which is looking to team up with nearly bankrupt Argentina for a common currency.

Meanwhile Brazil (22B), India (122B) and China (380B) run multi-billion dollar trade surpluses with the U.S.

1. Physical cash / gold (ie. bearer instrument moneys that are non-trivial to seize or control at scale)

2. The digitization of the above, retaining the same "non-trivial to seize or control at scale" property in a digital medium

hmm... I might start discounting sellers with too many reviews. Not sure where the cutoff would be and some sellers might actually be high volume and get lots of reviews, but a huge number of reviews makes me think they are fake.

For me, it looks like a La Quinta while the sun is up, and then just before sunset, I head back out to make sure the alignment on my telescope is set. It also looks like a couple of cans worth of mosquito repellent. It looks like plenty of water. The last time I went when it was that hot during the day, it was still above 90° at 2am.

This is one of those adventures where brave blurs into crazy
My big pet peeve about RVs is when they're in the mountains on 2 lane roads and insist on driving with a foot of their RV over the centerline when going around blind curves.

I used to live in a small tourist town, and people died on a regular basis because of RVs doing that. You could spot the local drivers because they're the ones hugging the fog line when going around a bend.
Interestingly, the old axiom has a different meaning than what people think. It is a quotation that defends the authority of a legislature to govern in the interests of collective security [1].

"He was writing about a tax dispute between the Pennsylvania General Assembly and the family of the Penns, the proprietary family of the Pennsylvania colony who ruled it from afar. And the legislature was trying to tax the Penn family lands to pay for frontier defense during the French and Indian War. And the Penn family kept instructing the governor to veto. Franklin felt that this was a great affront to the ability of the legislature to govern. And so he actually meant purchase a little temporary safety very literally. The Penn family was trying to give a lump sum of money in exchange for the General Assembly's acknowledging that it did not have the authority to tax it."[1]

> it really strange how the things that my generation valued (e.g. individual freedom) are being overturned

It's interesting for me as well. In the US, when I was younger, I always perceived "individual freedom" as a fundamental element of the right. It's only now as I get older that I see that's not really the case (at least, not anymore). That it seems as if the left has taken on that role of championing individual rights over that of the state.

I think in the context of crypto, I think it's a fine balance of freedom versus regulation, which is why it's taken so long to get anywhere with it.

Honestly, I think a large part of the reason it hasn't really been touched much is the feds ability to crack down on criminals despite using crypto. The belief that it's anonymous and untraceable makes it seem like at some level, it's easier to track people down. And in a circle of criminals, you only need to break the weakest link.

The issue I have with the argument is that you can apply it to anything. The fact that Bernie Madoff pulled off a ponzi scheme for years and the fact that "The Lindy effect works until it doesn't" isn't a specific critique of Bitcoin.

Oh please, again with the "store of value" BS. I made an effort to look at the actual volume of bitcoin being traded in and out of the system (aka actual entries and exits, not just fraud-prone exchange swaps) in 2020 and I concluded that it's probably worse than most scam penny stocks in terms of liquidity. It's really hard to find any kind of reliable data though, but in the absence of that I had to conclude it was just a gigantic scam.
American permanent residents (greencard holders) aren't American. They need citizenship first, otherwise they just have the right to live in America but not protection being a citizen would provide.

Exactly my point. The Lindy effect probably shouldn't be used as an argument for either side of this debate (or any, for that matter). But that's a specific (partial) statement that I saw in the parent comment.
> and what would that change?

Suitability for purpose. Some obvious ones:

Defined and validated environmentals (temperature, voltage, and in this case pressure).

Qualified components — capacitors chosen for lifetime rather than shaving a cent, perhaps avoidance of MEMS oscillators with helium sensitivity.

Failure analysis. Low and understood probability of fail-unsafe conditions (short circuit), mitigation for those risks, fume-proof and fire-proof PCB materials to protect the sealed environment in case of failure.

Redundancy to handle failures anyway. Multiple independent strings so that single-point failure lead to partial loss of lighting, not all of it.

Load ahedding, eg dropping all but one string at a known voltage above minimum voltage, to save power for other more critical loads during system failure scenarios.
Yes. I lived in Warsaw for 20 years. Warsaw has zero dangerous neighborhoods and has a population of 1.86 million.

My recommendation for you to stay safe as a minority in America who feels threatened is to obtain a concealed carry permit, a Glock 43 with holster, and a cell phone you can use to call 911. When shit hits the fan try to run away and call 911 but if you can't run away you can leave the phone off the hook with the 911 operator on the other end. If you can't talk your encounter is recorded even if you aren't able to engage with the operator immediately. The 911 recording can clear up any self-defense issues.
I've heard that crypto transactions can be more secure but I've also heard that securing information on the blockchain is basically impossible because it is a publicly available ledger. How does bitcoin opsec work exactly?
"Ideas are controversial" is no where near "ideas weren't fathomable". There are several 24 news networks that make your exact example of "unallowed opinion" as a seemingly huge percentage of their content.

Bitcoin is puzzling to me, in that a commodity usually has some value outside of a trading market per se. That is, it is usually consumable in some abstract sense. I'm not sure what you would "do" with Bitcoin other than as some form of currency.

In this regard, ETH always seemed a bit more on track, in the sense that there have been attempts to use the ETH blockchain from the beginning for the purposes of computation, other than "just" as a currency.

I'm not disputing what you're saying about the SEC position regarding Bitcoin, it just seems to highlight for me something a bit off about the SEC position, even if it is favorable in certain ways toward Bitcoin. I come away from all of this feeling a little like neither the SEC nor the crypto community at large are quite being honest or accurate about what's going on with crypto or how it should be regulated.

I've used Hyundai's adaptive cruse control on an older model. It doesn't do anything with the steering wheel, but it beeps when you leave the lane without using a turn signal. As far as tracking the speed of the cars in front of you and coming to a complete stop in traffic, it works great. I've never had a phantom braking incident with many thousands of miles driven on that mode. But that's not auto-steering at all.

I've used Blue Cruise a good bit which supports hands-off modes. This system works very well on highways hands-free. It seems to want me to put my hands back on the wheel when approaching the toll gantries and goes back to hands-free a few seconds after the toll gantry, but otherwise I've been able to go well over 100 miles at a time without touching the wheel or brakes. I've never had any kind of phantom braking situation or slow downs, it works well in stop and go traffic, and has overall been a great experience.
Thanks for mentioning a device
It depends. If it is a passing lane and the RV is not passing, shame on them. If it is a small pullout you often cannot slow down fast enough to catch it unless you are really paying attention for it. Remember, slowing down a big rig (especially one with all your belongings in it) can be near impossible to do. But mainly the reason is probably that there is no training or licensing required to teach folks how to drive these things.
I had a more general noobish version of it in my head how all this plays out.

Now that AI based task planning can learn from so few examples and can do extremely general tasks like say the instruction:

"Summarize my gmail twice a day at 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM filtering spam and stuff I don't read" would spawn an agent with a plan to do exactly what you want. And if it could not you could show it once like "recording" a super smart "macro" only this time with AI agents instead of Selenium.

This would be an "inversion" of API way to do things. Pretty soon people are writing tons of these "bots" and multiple cases land in the some(supreme?) court over what is a bot and what is personal property.
