This is why rehab clinics seemingly "work" - you remove the person from the environment driving them to seek refuge from reality. They relapse very easily once back in the same situation that got them addicted in the first place.

Ive experienced it myself on a vacation during an addiction long ago: I was not worried about my situation, I had positive people around me and we did fun things. During that time I realized I had no interest in being high but felt the withdrawal so I wound up dosing as little as possible just so I wasn't jonesing. I realized breaking the addiction meant making life changes which weren't easy but I managed to get over it.
I'm surprised to not see Chrome's handy "Never pause here" menu that appears when you right click any line of JS, including debug breakpoints. This is typically what I do when there's a debug in an intervaled function (simple anti-debug commonly found on some video sites).

I've devoted a considerable amount of time to exploring various new frameworks, libraries, and providers, seeking to comprehend the unique trade-offs among the numerous solutions available. Many of the tools on my list integrate seamlessly with Next.js and React, making them particularly valuable to those ecosystems. If you're new to this environment or simply looking for inspiration for your next project, I hope you'll find this compilation of providers, libraries, and frameworks beneficial. Feel free to explore and share your thoughts!

Yes, the Bolt is really close and it will be interesting to see what the next model year of it looks like in terms of price (currently estimated that the next Bolt will be 2026).

I'm currently skeptical about Tesla since their well known build quality issues and some sense that maybe they can't scale down cost without cutting corners they shouldn't cut. But yes, Tesla has the easiest position of current major US automakers to deliver something in the near future and even a cheap car with theoretical build quality issues is still more cheap cars on the road.

Not the person you asked, but I'm in the same boat. I prefer Linux, but tolerate Windows because I'm a gamer, and I can't fucking stand MacOS. I'll give you my reasons.

- Can't disable mouse acceleration via the UI. You have to use the terminal to enter a command to change a setting that sometimes gets overwritten on a system update. You can't disable scroll wheel acceleration at all without using 3rd party software.

- I hate the dock bar. I want each window of an app to be its own entry on the bar so I can easily switch from one window to a specific window with a single click. In MacOS, starting a second instance of an application that doesn't have a native method to do so is a total pain in the ass. Going to the Launcher to start the program just shows the existing instance of the application.

- Shitty defaults in general. Scroll wheel direction is backwards. Scrollbars auto-hide. The screen color shifts throughout the day.

- MacOS is based on UNIX but always feels like it's trying to hide that from you. The "root" user isn't capable of everything. There are directories in your home directory that even root can't access.

- Home/End keys move the cursor to the beginning/end of the document, not the beginning/end of the current line. As someone who uses those keys a lot in Windows, that behavior is aggravating. There IS a way to change this, but it's very non-obvious, and doesn't work in all programs.

- Muscle memory of using CTRL+X/C/V to cut/copy/paste will screw you up as a Mac uses their Command key which is where Alt is on a PC keyboard.

- Finder sucks. You can't cut/paste a file to move it, but you can copy/paste a file to copy it. To move a file in the Finder, you have to open two windows and drag it. The Delete key doesn't delete files.

Often times, things feel different just for the sake of being different and not because the designer thought it could actually improve UI/UX. Apple seems to very much tend to subscribe to the mentality that removing features is a feature.
> I was really just betting on you using at least one of the following - proprietary BIOS, non-free network switch/router, wifi, a run of the mill keyboard or mouse, a switching AC adapter, any modern appliance, or a webpage that runs javascript from a remote server you don't control.

Heck, you don't even have to go that far, I'm running Ubuntu on this laptop right now. It has no ethernet port and only Ubuntu could configure the Wi-Fi (without hand-holding): something to do with proprietary drivers for the chipset or something like that.

> My point is that it's basically impossible to avoid proprietary software these days.

Yeah, but that's the problem, that's the very circumstance with which we should not compromise (in my opinion. And yeah, I'm compromising right now, but I don't like it. It's a long story, but in a nutshell I'm moving and stuck using a cheap laptop at the moment. One day soon...)

I'm almost at the point where I'm going to make my own chips! Quoting myself from the other day on the Zenbleed thread: "Every time I think it's insane to contemplate making one's own chips something like this comes up, and I realize it's insane to let so much of our lives depend on these insanely complicated devices. It feels like walking on a tightrope above an unbounded fractal chasm."
I will give various sites a little wiggle room via NoScript but by the 3rd failure due to an excess of 3rd party requirements I just move on to somewhere else.
This will probably be flagged but I would be interested in HN's take on this
https://archive.is/jEwHy
China, not Oregon, has the right idea regarding junkies and pushers.
Not at all, at least not from what I read a few years ago about this. The war situation there was frankly unfathomable to us privileged folk. Beside the obvious physical pain and injuries there were psychological influences which are normally so far removed from our lives that we cannot deal with them. Drugs are an escape from the physical injuries and pain, and then they turn out to be an escape from the mental awareness.

Shooting at other humans, killing them, is not something we are designed psychologically to handle. But obviously if you feel you must kill another to avoid being killed, you may do it. And then your mind must reconcile that memory. Drugs can help you avoid it.

The change of attitude has absolutely nothing to do with laws.
Personally, I've found that it's better to define myself by what I'm for, as opposed to what I'm against.

Just helps me to keep my head in a decent place, and helps to avoid the "putting a fire out with gasoline" thing that happens so often, with online communication.
Food packaging? Do you have a citation for that? Cookware yes, but packaging?
> Tesla maintains a 30% profit margin vs the 5% profit margin of other automakers.

Do you have sources for these figures? Because they look made up to me.

Honda and Toyota are averaging 20% and 17.5% gross margins:
https://ycharts.com/companies/HMC/gross_profit_margin
https://ycharts.com/companies/TM/gross_profit_margin

Tesla is averaging 21.5%:
https://ycharts.com/companies/TSLA/gross_profit_margin

Regardless, Tesla is a unique case in nearly every way so using them as the counter argument against dealerships seems disingenuous.
> What about the owners and C level execs, are they reduced to zero personal assets yet? This infatuation with letting rich companies go with a slap on the wrist because of some "prove willful negligence" is silly. Certain actions, including polluting the entire world, should be proof enough on their own. You shouldn't get away with something just because you CHOSE not do enough research beforehand to be aware of dangers.

That seems like a nightmare in from a regulatory compliance point of view. You could do all the required research that the government wants you to do, and still get personally punished a few decades later if it turns out the product was harmful.
Show HN: Search Jira issues using natural language, from Slack – no JQL needed
Hello HN Community ,

I wanted to share a project that was inspired by my own day-to-day job challenges. I found myself often needing to do some advanced Jira searches, or even simpler ones, without leaving Slack. It made me wonder: Could AI make this process more intuitive and efficient using natural language?

Taking advantage of the recent advancements in large language models (LLMs), I created a tool, JiraGPT. It allows you to manage and track Jira issues using natural language, directly within Slack. Just imagine being able to say, 'Show me all in progress issues assigned to John from the past week,' and getting the needed information instantly.

Please note, this is currently a beta version and it primarily supports Jira issue search.
You can check it out here: https://jiragpt.tinyai.tools/

I'd love to hear your thoughts:

1. Would a tool like this be useful in your daily project management activities?

2. What features or capabilities would you expect from such a tool?

Thanks

Will be curious to see how this comment ages in a year.

I'm of the view that it's Google and Meta that are in trouble here. If they don't want to pay for quality news sources their content continues to noticeably degrade and become less attractive for use. They're likely trying to play hard ball with Canada and Australia because the markets are comparatively small. If the EU or the US see merit in this approach the tech companies are really going to struggle.

Major Breakthrough – Cancer Drug kills most solid tumors
The new study showed that AOH1996 kills cancer cells by disrupting the cell reproductive cycle, specifically inhibiting transcription-replication conflicts—a phenomenon that occurs when the cell machinery responsible for genome duplication and gene expression literally run into each other on the spot in the genome. This leads to DNA replication stress, genomic instability and, ultimately, can give rise to cancer.

By targeting mutated PCNA with AOH1996, the researchers kept cells with damaged DNA from dividing while leaving normal cells intact, as shown by studies of the drug’s effects on healthy stem cells
In the RF world (particularly at mm-wave frequencies), even copper has very non-negligible losses. In most passive circuits conductor loss is the limiting factor of performance. No idea if this material retains the same properties at such frequencies, and is compatible with typical lithography or other fabrication techniques, but it'd be amazing if so.
> Most people who use drugs eventually end up not being able to live like normal adults.

Most people who use drugs function like completely normal adults or eventually get bored or reduce usage as they age. You are seeing the fringes.
> Could such a people be expected to produce "all technological advances that will ever happen but all at once?" Or has the definition of the singularity become significantly more modest? It's not clear to me any way in which such things could produce science and engineering on their own, as opposed to aiding in the production as tools used by higher-level beings that stay alive, form memories, and continue learning.

Depends on the size of the context window.

Humans don't, and can't, learn everything from the ground up — we seem to have started with peer learning (it predates humans), which became culture; then we got (complex) language and could share more complex discoveries about the world; then writing and the dead could share their thoughts with the not-yet born centuries later…

…and, apparently, with machines. (Imagine explaining to Plato that we'd made metal from sand and used amber to make it discuss his philosophies).

If the context window is enough to create part of something new, then yes, I'd say an LLM can likely invent (or at least contribute to inventing) ${interesting novel tech}.

That said, I don't buy the "everything all at once" meme of the technological singularity, as I think any model with infinities in it is wrong — my preferred analogy is the technological event horizon, which is more like "you can't make good predictions past this point", akin to the event horizon around singularities in relativity.

There was also a pretty famous study w/ mice I believe. One of them had a good world w/ plenty of food, plenty of toys to play with and ample people to hang out with and have sex with. They had two feeding tubes, one contained drugs and other didn't. The mouse repeatedly took the drug free version. Then they created a shit mouse world. I think it was just overcrowded and didn't have any toys or that shit they borrow in. Low and behold the mouse in the shit world chose the feeding tube w/ the drugs.

Hmmm... There was a cartoon series, I believe Chinese or Japanese (?)[It was over twenty years ago] that was about a young boy who was a very good cook, and most of the episodes were about acquiring some special ingredient, cooking to save some poor person, or winning some great competition.

I first saw it in the very very early days of YouTube.

For the life of me, I cannot recall which one. Any ideas?

Asking, because as far as animated cooking series, it had some great cooking scenes in each episode.
It's understandable to be frustrated by our lack of a magic bullet to cure cancer, but unfortunately it's not one disease but a whole range of different diseases.

Looking at the residential complex in the article, Risørholmen, it looks like the "ugly" modern houses have rooftop gardens are large windows while the traditional houses have only a few small windows. Sure, the red tiled roofs look nice, but I wonder if this is a case of aesthetics taking precedent over functionality.

>when you share an article on facebook, you usually get "the title", a leading picture, and occasionally a summary.

That's the content of news articles. They were scraping content for republication and now they're not.

> Now you'll just get an unprocessed URL. They aren't inserting the bodies of the articles into the feed.

That's how links are supposed to be and reflects what a well functioning internet looks like. I'm not saying that to be a techno-purist. I'm saying it's the most normal, usual and predicable way to handle a link. There's not a thing wrong with it.

> It is like when I hit a paywall site and they tell me what I could get if I just paid for the subscription.

I can't agree. Having 2% less choices isn't similar to having no choice at all.

If Facebook doesn't offer the 50th copy of a news story, you still have 49 other sites that do (as well as the source). If the story is paywalled, your options are ~none.
This government shouldn't have existed. His predecessors made very clear that the 2019 politic mandate does not exist anymore, and the nominally-majority party is now, reshuffle after purge after reshuffle, bereft of enough competency and political coherence to govern.

The end of Truss should have meant an election, we're all killing time to ensure MPs collect a few more paychecks. The project has been cancelled but the contractors are still here.
Keep in mind that a superconducting energy storage device is kind of the opposite of a battery. An idle battery at full charge has some voltage and zero current, and it’s perfectly happy to stay like that.

An idle superconducting energy storage at full “charge” is not carrying a charge at all — it’s carrying a current. If you cut the wire (or blow a fuse), V = L dI/dt will generate an arbitrarily high voltage to keep that current flowing.

I imagine one would need some spark gaps and/or capacitors to limit the voltage.

Except when it comes to defamation or slander/libel. If I say something that I know, or reasonably should have known, is untrue and it actually harms you, then there isn't a lot of law that will come down on my side.

If what I said was true, or I reasonably believed it to be true, then I can say it no matter how much harm it causes.
The trick is to let the pan get to the right temperature. You don’t want it super hot, but you need it hot enough for the Leidenfrost effect. You can tell the pan is hot enough by splashing water on it. The water should not boil, but rather bead up and roll around. It takes a few minutes of heat to get the pan to this temperature. Once you reach this temp, the pan is basically nonstick as water in your food instantly vaporizes and creates a barrier between the food and your pan.

Most range levels can get to this point, even medium-low, but you need to leave the pan on the heat for some time before starting to cook.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it feels like modern architecture is about cutting labor and material costs as much as possible. Old architecture had craftsmen put a lot of time into things like smooth plaster walls, molding, wainscoting, herringbone floors, and decorative exteriors. Modern architecture is founded on the principal of hiring the cheapest labor possible to throw up the cheapest drywall available and covering it up with texture to hide the low quality - then charging as much as buildings using the older, higher quality methods.

Of course modern architecture is just going to look bland, generic, and low quality compared to old architecture - there's only about 10% the effort put into it.

As far as I understand, I’m not a chemist, rigid plastics don’t actually have these chemicals in them. It’s specifically the plasticizers that are bad, so flexible plastic is out, but rigid things like sippy cups are possibly better.

I don’t know though, that was just the result of my limited research when I went down the rabbit hole on this stuff. But we cut out plastics almost completely anyway, including rigid plastics, just to be safe.

Aluminum and glass are perfectly adequate. Microwave in glass and transfer to aluminum if you are scared of kids breaking glass, or just eat out of the glass/ceramic if they are a little older.

Avoiding plastic is trivial with a little thought.

I'll pick your comment out of the pack to pick on, though I think we agree.

Yours, and dozens of others, talk about "drugs".

That's like talking about banning "food" when there is a problem with people eating five cheeseburgers a day.

---

The problem is not with cannabis, or mushrooms, or aspirin. It's with meth, heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioids.

Drugs need to be *properly* ranked by government and restricted accordingly.

* How easy is it to acutely overdose on a substance?

* How chemically addictive is the substance?

* How damaging is chronic use of the drug over time to the body and mind?

* Is there any medical benefit?

The fact that cannabis is federally ranked as the most controlled level of drug in the US shows we have a broken system.

I support the legalization/decriminalization of many drugs too, but our Congress, the Biden administration and the DEA are too inept or corrupt to make reform a priority.

You don't care... but Brave cares. The point here is that Brave has been talking up the same user-hostile tech for the same user-hostile reason: to prevent "ad fraud", as they are an ad company, like it or not.

...and, frankly, Brave isn't going to have any choice in implementing Google's plot: the web simply isn't going to work in Brave anymore if they don't, as web pages will just start refusing to give Brave any content.
