This is great advice and i love this idea and one thing that scares me the most is that what if it’s already done before then i change my perspective i think its good to compete as its healthy for business
That's a different question. People like money. People may like the activity and the money combined more than just the activity. But the studies show that they like it less than the activity and the money not tied to one another.

If Bezos wrote me a large enough check to never participate in specific hobbies again, I would take him up on it. I would be happier than before I took the offer. But I would clearly be even happier with a check that wasn't tied to ruining a hobby.
Personally, I like the state now better than a couple years ago, where it was a struggle to get Cairo.jl working because it was interacting with users' systems in weird ways. It admittedly takes much more harddrive space, sometimes to a silly extent. I'm not sure if it's technically possible to have weak binary dependencies, I think if Cairo the C library declares binary deps, we have to add them all (hence Pango, Fontconfig, etc. etc.).

By the way, we get very few installation issues nowadays. They usually have to do with either graphics drivers on Linux, or because people have somehow messed with their library load paths and pull in the wrong dylibs. From a maintainer's perspective it's nice not having to worry about all that too much.

I dont really think you are disagreeing with each other. The first poster is saying find a niche where you can stand out. I'd agree with that - never fight a superior adversary on ther own turf. But it doesn't mean totally throwing market concerns to the wind.
I read this quote today and thought of you.

>It must be evident to you that manners must include all things which a man should impose upon himself, from duty to good taste. I have borne in mind the great motto of William of Wykeham--Manners makyth Man. It is in this sense--loyalty to the rule of obedience to the unenforceable, throughout the whole realm of personal action--that we should use the word "manners" if we would truly say that "Manners makyth Man."

And it coincidentally matched all these Ukrainian videos being locked behind age-verification?

Again, Ukrainian memes include a bunch of soldiers petting cats or dogs, or helping kids. Its not all frontline war footage. In fact, the meme accounts tend to be more tailored towards the cat videos.

The frontline footage accounts absolutely should be age-verified. But the meme accounts getting age-locked proves that Twitter suddenly had a change of heart over Ukrainians.

An incomplete list of things that I do as a hobby.

There have been a few posts that have sparked discussions on HN, and quite a few of them relate to the ThinkPad T430. I often jokingly say that this laptop has been a good investment in more ways than one.

Top 3 as judged by HN:

Implicit in my statement is that I'm speaking to averages but there is the simple fact that the only reason costs are higher is because markets raise prices to the result of supply and demand not because of some force outside our control

It's only because the average incomes are higher that costs are higher. Drop those wages to a normalized value and suddenly the market corrects as it reaches price equilibrium through bilateral supply and demand.
many years ago, i wanted to turn my passion in photography to my career. I did a few professional gigs and found out that it was turning out to be a job; and i was enjoying less of what i loved. in fact, it was making me hate it. I was wise enough at that time to stop it.
Intel's cooling specs certainly aren't great, but Apple did mess with the power profiles a LOT. People also often misread the TDP numbers (it's for describing the thermal load of a certain performance threshold, NOT the maximum power output of the chip) and that doesn't help..

I completely agree that Intel's chips were consuming way more power than they had any right to, but Apple knew that when they were designing their computers, and they also had complete control over the performance characteristics, so they could've compensated (or picked more appropriate chips).

AMD's Ryzen was the proof that Intel's designs were flawed. I suspect that AMD's impressive Ryzen performance spooked Intel and they responded by making their existing designs faster by just pumping more power through them.

This entire debate was a shambles, IMO. Neither side really seemed to be making good points. Almost the entire time they were arguing totally different points. One side was insisting AI would be a severe risk, the other side was that it wasn't an existential risk. In the end it was a pointless circular argument where each side retreated to their vague interpretation of the question.

What scares me most is that it seems we are wholly unprepared as a species to have this debate. Our technology keeps increasing in power and ease of use, but our ability to understand even the basic difference between "existential risk" and "severe risk" is lacking. And further, it seems that amongst those who are pushing this kind of technology (accelerationists) there is a subtle undertone that some casualties are expected and acceptable during this transformation. Even if it does kill most humans, the world that is left for the rest will be so much better that maybe it is worth it. Few come right out and say it, but that is what it seems they are implying.

Show HN: Towards a DSL for Multi Agent Systems – Llambdao
Hey HN!

This is something that I've been hacking on lately to provide some structure around how we can devise multi-agent LLM architectures. This is a work-in-progress and I'm curious to get y'alls thoughts in this wide open design space :)
Right. A license change like this being done in such a silent manner would lead me to drop usage of this product if I wasn't already avoiding it due to their dubious non-foss principles.
>Any advance notice on these actions would have allowed bad actors to alter their behavior to evade detection.

They really think we're stupid, huh? As if we've forgotten all the other changes instituted without advance notice (third party app api changes, ban on mastodon links, ban on plane tracking). And we're just supposed to believe this is only to deal with bots and it is a coincidence these changes happened on the first day of the third fiscal quarter?

A question from a layman: what is a “signal” in the context of a neuron? Is it discrete binary ON/OFF, or is it discrete with multiple levels, or is it fully analog? Do we know the “encoding” of the signals? What do they represent?
Articles about São Paulo outdoor law comes back from time to time on HN. Maybe because people here have a hard on for central city planning? I don’t know but you should look elsewhere for your fix. This law ruined the beautiful Bairro da Liberdade, a neighborhood that used to have influences of japanese culture.

XR is not QNX-based anymore. They switched over to Wind River 64-bit Linux[1] starting from the newer ASR9k linecards and the NCS series and onwards. The two XR variants are referred to internally as cXR (QNX) and eXR (Linux).

XR itself is mostly the same codebase - it’s just the platform- and OS-specific code that had to be changed. Also, I believe endianness-dependent code had to be ifdef’d.

Source: worked as a dev on the IOS-XR team.

If I have an open door to my business and someone's automated robot walks in the door to see what's available, how is that different?

Even more applicable, this is like saying that a person walking down the street can't have a camera and take a picture of the front of the building....

Because the page you land on when entering a url is in fact little different than a store front, with the associated signage and access points defining how a person or automated device may interact with that business.

If you want to have it different then you have to actually put everything behind a locked door with no window, right?

This about:config toggle seems to be a "nuclear option" that disables the entire "quarantined domains" functionality. It would be better if Mozilla offered users a choice to toggle only certain blocked addons on certain domains, though the normal UI.
"Specific websites", how descriptive. This was somewhat anticlimactic, I was curious to take a look at what was actually in the list of quarantined domains; whether it's only their own official services or includes other public domains.

I have spent a lot of time as a professional user/customer/dev/admin on Shopify, and while I might phrase your point differently, I think it’s fundamentally an honest take.

Shopify has always been very upfront that they’re an e-commerce platform company. They’re not interested in being everything to everyone. If you want to do something “really custom”, you have to engage with (typically other paid) ecosystem services and providers, or write your own code against their APIs.

It can definitely be frustrating.

I really like WooCommerce (disclaimer: I have a professional and financial interest in the WordPress ecosystem generally, but no real interests in or relationship with Automattic. A lot of my business is in this ecosystem).

Others have found great success with Magento and PrestaShop.

BigCommerce seems to have a bit of a fanatical following but I’ve only ever been a end “consumer customer” of their merchants.

Edit: typos and a minor clarification in my disclosure.
Why does conservative == hate speech? Hate speech isn’t allowed on Twitter - I have not seen that happen without swiftly being modded out. If anything, I am seeing both sides of arguments in topics.

Not a lot there right now. When I rehosted from WordPress to Hugo (after HostPapa started jacking up prices), I pulled a number of posts. Since I've been on hiatus from adding material to my blog.

I believe you’re conflating purpose with function. It seems we both agree that any attempt at assigning purpose to material objects or phenomenon is dubious at best.

I think your reason for this belief is a complete rejection of the idea of Intelligent Design. As for my view, in the case that we do live in an Intelligently Designed world by some Creator, the relative gap between our respective intelligences would be too large to even comprehend. There would be no point in assigning purpose based on our observations, we can really only describe what things are and how we best understand them to function.

As for intent, I agree there is no intent that can be supposed for something as one dimensional as a hydrogen atom, but perhaps intent emerges at a larger scale (e.g. life and the universe)

Not trying to get too into the weeds of a religious discussion as I’m mostly agnostic, but I was surprised to see such a rejection of Intelligent Design
I think the advantage is that users suck at picking passwords, refuse to learn how to use a password manager, so TOTP is there to make sure that even if people set Welcome2023 as their password, some credential stuffer can't log in to their remote desktop because they need an extra six digits to log in.

You'll get the best security if you don't have the TOTP secret on a device that also contains your passwords, just in case you get hacked, but even with TOTP on-device it provides a little bonus security.
Honestly, this is true of most creative activities. Playing an instrument? Singing? Painting? Drawing? Almost everyone has some sort of creative activity they enjoy.

The enjoyment comes in part from the lack of pressure. The activity doesn't have to pay the rent - at most, it's beer money.

Perhaps more negatively: expecting to make a living with something that millions do for fun? Hubris. Very few really are that good, but only very few.

For the rest of us? Enjoy your hobby for what it is.
As this is an international forum, maybe don’t take a post like this as a presumption on the importance of domestic USA issues. But this article is a neutral maybe centrist perspective on the changes in the largest, most multicultural and powerful self-sufficient nation. Those are big challenges and we have two parties being pulled in three dimensions.

The Democratic Party has been dealing with its racist past generationally. Most Americans today would not be attracted to the personalities of the old Democratic guard of the 60s. Hillary Clinton, for example, moved from Republican to Democrat when the parties became closer under Nixon. Conservatism in this group means reflecting on the founding of America to build on morals and not 18th century international religion.

At the same time, the chaos of the 60s and 70s persuaded many neoliberal white Americans that, while asking for social change is laudable, our political institutions lack the methods and answers to make change into a net positive. Conservatism among Republicans means rewarding agrarian ideals which contrast with the forces back in Europe that their ancestors escaped. For example, inconsistent taxation and class-based education.

For both parties, deviations from the above can be explained by racism. Our post-industrial workforce is divided on accepting this “wokeness”. But our last demographic transition was toward a post-industrial workforce, and our next will be a population without any particular racial dominance.

So partisan commentary makes two mistakes. Republicans are tired of white supremacy being found everywhere, but the occasion to point it out means white supremacy is in fact fading into the historical background. They’re better off responding that it’s getting harder and harder to find it. Democrats fail to realize that their party historically comes from weird coalitions. Litigating which definition of Identity Politics is most suitable for their coalition isn’t helpful. In a social media landscape increasingly dominated by elites, they should devote their scarce access to people’s attention with messaging about who is fixing problems of governance.
