Buying online is a terrible idea. I would advise against it.

How you get durable, functional clothing is by being extremely patient, selective and most importantly getting a basic education in textiles.

Even if a brand is held in high regard the incentive is too strong for companies to use these brands to push off cheap, high-margin products. As a consumer you need to be discerning. Part of that involves a basic, but yet often undervalued sense, touch. You might not have a textbook understanding of textiles, but I promise that you can tell the difference between a durable t-shirt and one that isn't by simply touching and feeling it.

Now as to where to go to find these shirts, go to your local mall, outlet store, shopping centre, thrift store etc. Dedicate a good amount of time to walk in to places and compare their stock. It's time consuming but worth it. Eventually you'll realize that certain stores just don't meet a certain quality bar and you will subconsciously filter these out.

Another thing you'll realize is that brands don't really have a lot of signaling power. Just because a shirt is sold in a luxury store doesn't mean that it's using high quality fabrics or has durable construction. With garments you absolutely get what you pay for but not everything that's pricy is worth it. How you're able to distinguish between the two is by building the knowledge and there's sadly no royal road to that, you're just gonna have to put in the work.

I have an air filter that ramps up when I'm eating. I bring cooked/heated food into my room and a minute or so later my air filter detects VOCs and ramps up. Sometimes it even goes all the way up to the highest level (level 9) with scary red colors, and that frightens me - is what I'm breathing while eating really harmful, and if it is, then how about whilst cooking? And what about chefs and all others who work in a restaurant, how fucked up would their lungs be?
If you live somewhere with relatively clean outdoor air, it's quite possible that your own cooking gives you more particulate exposure than ambient air pollution does.

Just do the math: The average PM2.5 in New York is 12 μg/m3. As this post shows, cooking can easily spike levels above above 500 μg/m3. So if you're exposed to smoky at 12/500=2.4% of the time, that alone equals your ambient air pollution. That's around 35 minutes per day.

If you have an air purifier, this is even more likely to be true true—it's much easier for an air purifier to deal with a slow steady leak of particles from outdoors than to deal with spikes.
Just wait until you find out about the SIM card in your phone!

> I don’t think anyone really knows how Congress meant today’s laws to work in this scenario.

Congress, or more accurate, the drafters of the Constitution, intended that Congress would work to keep the Constitution updated to match the needs of modern times. Instead, Congress ossified to the point it's unable to pass basic laws because a bunch of far right morons hold the House GQP hostage and an absurd amount of leverage was passed to the executive and the Supreme Court as a result - with the active aid of both parties by the way, who didn't even think of passing actual laws to codify something as important as equitable access to elections, fair elections, or the right to have an abortion or to smoke weed when they held majorities. And on top of that your Supreme Court and many Federal court picks were hand-selected from a society that prefers a literal viewpoint of the constitution.

But fear not, y'all are not alone in this kind of idiocy, just look at us Germans and how we're still running on fax machines.

I think I fully get what you're saying. I just don't think you have a human right or entitlement to buy pizza or news articles on the terms that you prefer.

You are right that if everyone does it you don't have a choice that allows you to get what you want for the price in terms that you want.

I don't think not being able to get your way means you get to take what you want. I don't think pizza companies individually or in aggregate have a moral obligation to satisfy you or have you as a customer.

It's like Mutual consent is only required as long as you get what you want , and if you can't get what you want, it doesn't matter. Do you apply this logic to the rest of your life?
Ask HN: How to find users (developers, DevOps) for paid market research?
While developing an idea for a side project, I’d like to talk to potential users that my service will be targeting. In my case, those users have primarily dev/devops duties.

How do folks here / very early startups find people for interviews?

I’m happy to pay for the interviews ($40 or more for one hour?) but I don’t know where to look. I tried running a Reddit ad and posting in a related Discord but so far, no takers.

(I’m specifically making this Ask about the process of finding users - I’m not recruiting people here in a sly way) :) Thanks

Awesome tool. Always thought about building something like this. One of my thoughts was to take all that data and distill it into a composite "trust" score of some kind, to help make decisions on whether to lean on it or not.
There is definitely a hump to get over (maybe you are never fully as "productive" as languages that just let you shoot yourself in the foot, I say as a full-time Go developer for a few years now). Simple, straightforward code is often harder to write. Don't even get me started on stuff that uses async.

But IMO it's very worth it. What do you get out of wrestling with the unholy, fractured C/C++ ecosystem? The privilege of being able to _use other people's code_. You get that without much hassle in Rust.
Most people are still clicking around the console. A new paradigm is not required to allow them to use what already exists, just education.

The question of WHY the mixins are required is interesting to me - they point to the abject failure of cloud providers to keep up with their customers.
"Spatial computing" is 95% just a marketing term. Understandably Apple wants to project the perception they are doing something new here. So they invented a new term. There are a few novel aspects to it, but it's honestly just VR/AR like everyone else has been doing in terms of all of its fundamental features. Which isn't to say I'm not curious about what novel things they will introduce. However what's visible so far is actually behind status quo in terms of true "spatial computing" eg: shared spatial anchors API [0] has been out for a while and lets multiple users collaborate in the same mixed reality space. So far Vision Pro doesn't seem to even support this fundamental use case that you would expect to see from a "spatial computing" device.

I do expect Apple to rapidly implement all this though and do everything better at the same time, so it's very exciting.

It's just run of the mill "this time it's different!" cope that has been said before every blood bath. )

Smarmy reddit-esque comments like this don't belong on HN. Please read the guidelines.

As for numbers:

> There are more than 21 million monthly active users of Metamask.
> It is (and was) easy to see that homosexuality is not a personality disorder because it doesn't harm anyone.

That kind of rewriting of history ignores the torture people like Alan Turing went through for being found out. It dishonors them by writing them out of the past.
> you're saying that moats wouldn't exist if the phones cost 1 cent? Why?

Because if iPhones cost 1 cent to produce, the cost of everything that goes into producing them would have to be trivial. Which means any competitor could easily do the same as Apple is doing.

Of course that's not the case in our actual world; in our actual world, it would cost a huge amount of money for any competitor to do the same as Apple is doing. But that's my point: that very fact is why it costs Apple a lot more than 1 cent to produce an iPhone. Apple has expended huge costs on developing the product and keeping it ahead of competitors, and those costs amount to a lot more than 1 cent per iPHone. The high price they charge for iPhones is how they recoup those costs.

In other words, in the hypothetical I was responding to, Apple could not have done what they actually have done to make the iPhone a high end preferred product. Which means that all the moats that exist in our actual world because Apple did all those things to make the iPhone a high end preferred product, could not exist in that hypothetical world.

Does that mean the hypothetical is basically useless in understanding Apple's position in our actual world? Yes. That was part of my point.
The safer from wildfire standard and the wildfire prepared home standard would both identify the storage of those kinds of materials within the 0-5 foot zone as a hazard significant enough to not pass.

To you it may not seem significant but to a wildfire risk specialist, these are precisely the kinds of hazards were looking for.

The standards are high, but they are so for a reason. We're losing thousands of homes per season to wildfire.

Was it bad customer service to just drop him? Yes. Should he have the opportunity to mitigate? Absolutely.

But ignorance of your risk doesn't mean some one else is obligated to take the other side of that bet. I've said it a couple times else where. If insurance companies thought they could still be writing policies in California, they would. It's billions of dollars in annual premium they are passing on. They aren't doing so because, yes, storing tires against your house is significant enough of a risk factor to warrant non-renewal. Companies like State Farm would rather pull back entirely than accept the risk.
thank you! Much less click baity but far more informative / accurate.
There definitely is. I don’t think it’s impossible at all. That’s what I meant by: “The potential is definitely there”. But mismanagement until it is too late is definitely a risk. The country should be able to solve that with some imports provided it wants to.
I mix some cider vinegar, some fruit juice or cider, and a drop of dish soap.
I put that in a small jar.
I get some plastic film and make a small hole in the middle of the plastic about the size of a pea.
I place the plastic on the jar and secure with a rubber band.

Place that on the kitchen counter near where the flies congregate. They will follow the scent down the hole where they will be mostly trapped and if they touch the liquid, they will sink and drown as the soap removed the surface tension.
From that link, it looks like they do compress and use JPEG2000 for it, with a max bit-rate of 250 mbit/s. IIRC 4k blu rays don't do more than 100 mbit/s, so that's quite a bit better.
You know, they didn't put it in the marketing materials because it's a $7000 minimum feature but I think the AVP likely does support the existing iOS anchor API.
I'm struggling to understand what he's talking about. Starting with "passing up," did he invent this terminology? The only input you have to an LLM is the prompt, which gets tokenized. And if you were to send DCFG rules or a compiled version of it as part of the request, how would that fundamentally alter the way that the tokens are predicted? If the model predicts something that doesn't conform to the grammar you require, is he proposing re-prompting until it gets it right?

Makes me think of this Stallman short story[0]:

"debugger vendors in 2047 distributed numbered copies only, and only to officially licensed and bonded programmers"

I don't think it would happen, because it's too difficult of a global coordination problem. E.g. if you make it too hard to build software in the US, then it will just get built elsewhere, and the US will no longer be dominant or even important in tech.

Go check out Sean McMeekin's Stalin's War for a pithy rebuttal to this point of view - but the idea that Soviet entry was a equal reason to the atomic bomb is a minority view (at best saying it nicely) in the historical community, but rather a very successful propaganda effort that Stalin launched shortly after the war to justify his taking of larger portions of asia.

Nice! I remember using a tool called Appcelerator Titanium about 15 years ago. It was like a precursor to Electron, and you could use various languages to build desktop and mobile apps - including PHP. It blew my mind at the time that this was possible.

Glad to see the PHP desktop app dream has been kept alive :)
I am familiar with the symptoms. I still think you deal with an actual narcissist, not with someone with BPD. The symptoms may have some overlap, but it's different.

For example, where in that article do you see that people with BPD can be so straight up delusional that they think they "own the town"? Notice that the words "lie" or "lying" do not even appear in the article.

In my experience, presenting a BPD-afflicted person with definitive truth is actually calming them down, because it disperses the worries and fears they have about things that could be (however unlikely).

Again, I don't mean to belittle your experience. What you're going through sucks, regardless of what disorder your wife has.
Honestly excited about this, I am one of those people that really love PHP from the old days and I still use it from time to time to build small web apps and api's. I don't get the hate that PHP usually gets, I've always kinda liked it.

These days I mostly program in C, CAPL and Python but I would love to build apps in PHP.

If it was "long distance", you still had to by the minute. There were plans out there that allowed free weekends or other deals, but generally this was true nationally. If it was a local (same first 3 digit prefix of our 7 digit numbers, XXX-1234) or "1-800" call, generally it was a free. There were caveats, like in major cities, sometimes it'd be long distance to other areas, but generally "local" was the same three digit prefix as yours.

Anyone that accidentally dialed into a "long-distance" ISP or AOL number found this out the hard way.
In the same kind of spirit but for Python I recently discovered pywebview. It really is amazing how simple and fast these tools make developing little apps that can be run locally, without your users needing to manually launch a server or you worrying about the browser.
> Annual physical in the U.S. is one's chance to get a "relatively free" doctor visit for an issue they have.

Again, fixing that absurdity would be great. Not by giving more annual physicals, but by removing the payment aspect of things like much of the developed world has.
I think on newer x86 chips the ‘cycle’ counter increments at a ~constant rate, rather than changing with variable cpu frequencies. There’s a cpuid flag for this and I think Linux exposes it in procfs somewhere too. Older chips do have the problem you describe, as well as problems with cycle counts diverging (or never being close) between cores/sockets. It still isn’t exact in the way you describe. The most reasonable thing you can do is regularly calibrate based on an actual clock (whose rate also gets calibrated based on ntp…) to have a cycles<->ns conversion factor.
This one was a gem

Sorry - I don't mean to shoot you down, but while your overall point is correct, those are not the reasons we know why:

1) We can only estimate gravitational fields remotely when objects are interacting, by measuring the time it takes them to orbit each other - the article specifically says that the object is "floating alone in space".

2) The paper (https://assets.researchsquare.com/files/rs-2029380/v1_covere...) discusses the possibility of a magnetic field being responsible for the two-sided effect, but doesn't mention that they specifically measured it. Apparently measurement is possible for large magnetic fields by looking for circular polarisation but I don't think they have found that in this case.

3) There is no fusion happening in a white dwarf - they glow with residual heat from the original star.

Wikipedia has a lot of detail in their article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_dwarf

Back around 2007 or so, I discovered BasicLinux (https://distro.ibiblio.org/baslinux/), a stripped down version of Slackware for old PCs, compatible with Slackware 4.0 packages. It installed from a couple of floppies onto my ancient ThinkPad 365X.

BasicLinux had a great community and introduced me to mailing lists. I learned a lot about how Linux works, tracking down dependencies with ldd and modifying config and init scripts. After a year or so of playing with BasicLinux, I moved on to Slackware, but continued to use the mailing list for help.

So happy 30th to Slackware and cheers to anyone who provided assistance on the BasicLinux mailing list!

That's not... a good thing. Who cares about "the preservation of the species". If 7 billion people die and the remaining survivors are happier than ever, that's a huge loss IMO.
I assume the names are a reference to the Orca model, as well as continuing the theme of naming LLMs after animals, like Falcon and Llama.
Like... a lot of charges. Fraud, sexual assault... these are already crimes. I could try to write a novel here to go into it on all the different illegal things every tech exec has done and gotten away with, but if you were under the impression we'd need to make new laws from them to have committed crimes, we're so far apart from each other's understanding that it's not really worth going too deep into.

But suffice to say, outright fraud about the ad business is pretty core to most of Google and Facebook's revenue, and the entire original C-suite of Google has at least some sort of sexual harassment or abuse story out there they never got held accountable for.

The biggest problem is not making crimes, it's that our enforcement of our own laws involving executive misconduct has continued for so long, that the statute of limitations would be the biggest problem prosecuting a lot of people today.
