I have recently started modding my guitars also!

It such a fun activity, especially if you are an engineer+creative type since its involves reading circuit wiring, planning the tones and the sounds that you actually like in the guitar, buying and testing cheap(ish) parts, soldering them and finally playing the guitar with all the mods.

I recently changed the 5 way switch in my Harley Benton Fusion and now the guitar sounds so crisp and bright. All the buzzing and honkyness in the pickups disappeared. The pickups circuit with a 5Eur mod sounds as clear and bright as my EMG retroactives.

Next I want to buy a kit-guitar and learn to stain them for custom finishes. Want to try some of the beautiful bursts that ~10k$ PRS custom shop does.
Perplexity apparently does this, I just confirmed it. Which sucks because perplexity is a very solid product that also lets you opt out of data collection and has a share button, implying action needs to take place to get it to be public
"above the floor the wall had 6 washed out grayish colored bars 20-25 cm width"

Were the bars vertically oriented or horizontally oriented?
I sure am glad no one needs to justify their car purchases by you. Daily use of a pickup with extreme volumes sounds like an unreasonable high bar for justification. What if it was every other day?
why are we restricted to windowed layouts of applications? I think we can get more creative than that. I would like a more fully immersive experience that doesn't try to mimic our constrained current experience. Getting to the pixel level and determining the outcome based on that is missing the forest for the trees.
You can still use the basic search mode if you prefer maximum control.
I do understand the sentiment. I personally see value in human creation but I sort of get why others wouldn't.

I'm somewhat shocked by this overwhelmingly positive reaction to AI replacing human creativity so I may be overreacting? It just doesn't sit right with me — trading human subtlety for raw efficiency — but to each their own.
Regulatory capture becomes much easier to understand when you exaggerate it and say they’re trying to hijack and take over the government to make money. It isn’t that, but it’s close enough
The reason this bothers you is because you're trying to apply your imperative experience to a functional language. Once you stop doing that, F# will make a lot more sense. For example:

let a: int = 1

This isn't assignment; it's a binding that permanently associates the identifier `a` with the value `1`.

Nested tags for me, with tag tree viewable as a 'folder' structure in a side panel. Solves the problems "Which [one & only one] folder do I put this in?", "Which folder _did_ I put that in?!", and "Why are we allowing x copies of this in n folders, each with different dates/contents?".

Works for me with email, too.

Mutually-exclusive folders for-the-lose. Wellll…for my usage, anyway.
This is an insanely bad faith take of that commercial.
> The idea that if Bernie were the candidate people would switch their vote from Trump to Bernie is simply preposterous, and I am in awe that anyone actually fell for this.

I am such a person, and back then there were plenty of others who expressed similar sentiments. All it takes for you to be literally incorrect is two people.

There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says "Morning, boys. How's the water?" And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes "What the hell is water?"
But I guess my phone doesn't have a nanny? Are we planning to nanny the entire world?

Putting a nanny on a car is just stupid. Especially because, surprise, surprise, passengers actually do sometimes ride in cars!

This is simply not the job of the car.
So, one problem with this statement: People are working with virtual monitors today using far worse DPI equipment.

This is an iteration on something that already exists. Probably won't be perfect, but it can and will be a monitor replacement for some.

Surely C# qualifies more as "multi-purpose" than F# does? It's certainly more of a multi-paradigm language - my own C# code freely mixes functional, imperative and OO- style (multiple implementations of the same interface etc.) techniques, the latter two of which I struggle to envision being improved by rewriting in F#.

> What was good about Twitter before

oh.. I never personally liked Twitter. I was just thinking about the company itself rather than their products.

> It's just a logo

It also objectively sucks. I don't think we just handwave poor design instead of making fun of it and mocking it. The world is as already as ugly as it is..

> At the very least, by integrating payments your social media platform doesn't have have to sell ads

How much do they think they could get from these payments? 1-3%? Shopify's net revenue is lower than Twitter's was before they buyout and they are not even profitable. The interest payments alone on the debt Musk offloaded to Twitter as part of the acquisition are about equal to Shopify's quarterly revenue.

It's a very competitive field with basically no margins, I'm not quite sure what Twitters edge would be? They'd need to charge way more than their competitors if they wanted to use the revenue to fund the rest of the company after getting rid of ads...

> integrated payment methods rather than posting on Facebook

The lack of an integrated payment processor is not the reason Facebook Marketplace doesen't support direct payment payments. That's an insignificant problem compared to all the other stuff they would need to handle with huge costs due to significant overhead (just like at what Ebay does, also they charge 10%+ and they are not that profitable either).

Hi Shane, I'm always fangirling when I see you on HN. Much love and keep making the content I love!
I now "own" that number and can port it out of Google if I wanted to. That was important to me in case they ever decide to shut down Google Voice.

I don't see how Google makes money on Google Voice, which makes wary of them shutting it down some day.

Other than children, the coolest thing I have made is a medical device. It’s only Class I (requiring no pre-market approvals) but I still had to register with the FDA before selling it.

At first I was making software while selling my device on the side. The feedback from patients and practitioners was so encouraging that I couldn’t bear to keep making software despite the generous compensation.

The majority of the device is 3D-printed and the remainder is formed in 3D-printed molds. I have over a dozen printers and one full-time employee keeping them going. Hoping the business will make enough to start paying me, too!
I like what traditional Japanese homes have been doing for centuries. If possible they have a sunny garden on one side of the house and a shaded garden at the opposite side. Besides being aesthetically pleasant, controlling the opening of windows and doors to those areas during the day creates an air flow through the house that will regulate room temperatures accordingly, just by using thermal physics.
Well if you count expected power consumption of each component and limited efficiency of the power supply, plus reports of people idling their 3470 based machines at 12w (full system) yeah, good enough. I mean what is your point? The 35W idle for Ivy Bridge CPU only is a ridiculous claim, that should be retracted IMO.

4GB (from personal experience, 2GB from what I’ve heard) is enough to run stable diffusion 1.x/2.x with the major current consumer UIs and the optimizations they make under the hood. Not sure about SDXL. The original first-party inferencing code takes more.

> Some people think nvidia is deliberately being miserly with vram on gaming cards, to try and force ML users onto the $$$$$ data centre GPUs.

And, sure, as long as there is no real competition, that kind fo segmentation makes sense. OTOH, if there is competition and desktop ML demand, it will make progressively less sense. So, the question seems to be, will there be competition that matters?

I wasn't attempting to say an ICE more efficient or as efficient as an EV, we all know they are no where near approaching similar efficiency. I was just pointing out that for an ICE idling is their most efficient state next to being shut off and is significantly more efficient that when moving.

We tend to think of ICE efficiency in terms of MPG and naturally assume that their idling efficiency to be similar to their maximum driving efficiency and that's incorrect.
thanks for the pointer, it's actually quite interesting. Apparently even (most of) X11 should work then?

"And of course you need your screen to run the AC so you have to press confirm anyway while driving"
Yeah, there's a really odd all or nothing kind of attitude with knowledge, experience or skill, as if "being smart" is like a linear growth Pokemon level-thing rather than being more like a radar chart of skills and experience.

Which I find so odd and absurd in a profession that's full of esoteric knowledge. Being experienced and smart obviously is a huge asset, but if you just aren't familiar with library X but new guy with no experience has been doing nothing but library X, the latter guy is the one to take advice from.
It's hard to believe you're not simply trying to satirise the people jvns complained about, who repeatedly pretend to believe that an obvious choice of words to make a sexual joke was not chosen for that reason.
Not just car related forums, those people are everywhere.

I've seen someone on this site call for the abolition of drunk driving laws, arguing that the punishable act should be driving recklessly rather than the factors that led to the reckless driving; because of course, if you think you can drive drunk safely, then why shouldn't you be allowed to (/s)?
It was a question, not a statement. And your ended with a loaded question. Not cool.

Suggestion: To group multiple elements would be a nice feature to have, I had spent entire day sketching it in rough note book and then implement it in code.
>Is someone going to see that, and adjust what they're doing because numbers are trending up? It seems unlikely.

The data cited shows that the negative message they currently employ has an effect on the accident rate: multi-vehicle accidents increase in proximity to the signs.

This suggest that some drivers see the message and react by adjusting their driving and that other drivers near them either do not see the sign, do not make adjustments, or are not paying enough attention to the road to notice that a driver in their hazard zone has made an adjustment that will cause an accident if they don't react similarly.

It may be that some drivers see the sign and slow down or change lanes to a slower traffic lane while the driver behind them is too close and this speed or lane change leads to a collision.

Using the signs to highlight sections of highway with higher than average accident rates sounds like a good idea. It would be especially useful on interstates affected by sudden heavy rainfall where ponding leads to hydroplaning at ordinary safe speeds for a dry highway. There is a long stretch of interstate west of FtWorth where this is a problem due to the number of curves and the crown of the road not allowing rain to flow to the shoulders fast enough to prevent ponding.

While it is true that caution signs and things like this are part of driver's ed, that doesn't mean that they make it into the actual practice part of every driver's skillsets. In my view, everyone should be required to take a defensive driving test at least every 5 years so that the lessons about focusing on driving and minimizing accident potential are set in stone. Ordinary drivers ed covers this ground but most drivers never have to revisit the safe driving habits after getting licensed unless their employer requires defensive driving or they get a ticket and opt for ticket dismissal thru defensive driving course.
Everyone's system is subject to potential exploits. Could be something as novel as an AI model prompt injection, or as simple as directory walking through an unprotected S3 bucket.

This is the biggest hurdle for a lot of people, at least for me.
The immutability.

IF you have grown up doing objects, or C#, and thinking with variables. Then 'a=1' means a memory for variable a has a 1, and you should be able to change that. But it is really a like a function where the function returns a 1.

'let a = 1' is not assigning the value 1 to variable a.

'a' is a function that returns a 1.

I think this is biggest reason why people trying to learn functional programming in languages that don't enforce immutability, have a harder time than with languages that do enforce it.

Like moving to another country, and the people around you purposely don't speak English so you have to learn the language.
If the did speak English to help you, then you wouldn't learn the language.

Enforcing immutability is like this.

1) You need CPU produced in late 2022, not in 2023. I deliberately checked the date code when was buying the CPU. 2) You need a motherboard with old miccrocode. 3) You need to disable microcode update in your OS, be it Windows or Linux.
I drive by the dealer everyday. 2 currently there. Personally, I've found dealers don't honor lines. One salesman told me that when they got the car I was looking for in stock they start calling people and the first person to physically show up AND sign the sales papers gets it. I ordered a Tesla after that experience.
I multibox games so I have quite a few systems you would qualify as "old as dirt"

My secondary system is a sff hp/compaq business machine with an i7-3770 and 16 gb ram SSD GT1030 w/gddr5. It's my go to computer for when I need to go somewhere for a while. IT's small easy to pack and handles 1080p games pretty damned well. I'm sure modern "triple A" games would be upset at the lack of vram but I don't really care. I don't find many modern games to be worth my time. I bought the base machine off ebay for $50 bit over 5 years ago. I at one point had a stack of five SFF HP machines for manual multiboxing in a MMORPG. One i5-2500 2x i5-3470 and 2x i5-3470s all connected to USB numkey pads for easy hotkey usage. The i7-3770 CPU I picked up off ebay for $20 couple years later.

My third box (still multiboxing) is an old rosewill case that I put an ebay dell optiplex 7010 mobo in with an e3-1230 (xeon i7-3770 basically). 16 GB ram SSD GTX660. Got the motherboard and cpu off ebay for about $30 total. Benchmarks put the e3 cpu within 1% of my i7-3770 cpu. E3-1230 CPUs are going for a fraction of the cost of an i7 3770 these days. I had originally intended to get a new low end cpu/mobo for this system (I have ddr4 ram sitting around etc) but the prices were out of reach for my budget.

The e3-1230 was $12 shipped so I'm thinking of buying another to put in my other HP/compaq SFF machine that has an i5-3470 in it. I call this one my fourth system. It has 16 gb ram with a ssd in it. The GPU is an hd7570 1gb card I bought in 2018 for around $12. Funny story I ended up buying six of those cards for my stack of SFF because some porch pirate stole one of the cards. I'm sure they were happy to get a card that was worth at most 10 dollars shipped lol.

All of these systems play almost all my steam games at 1080p. They also play World of warcraft, world of warships, warthunder, and such at 1080p.

One of my SFF machines ended up at my sister's as a box for her kids to play games on. Cheap durable and easy to clean.

All those systems use $20 SP 512GB SSD drives bought off amazon. Unbelievably cheap price for a drive that has vastly better performance than spinner drives.

IF you had told me in the early 2000s that I would be using OEM components to game with I would of laughed at you. Then again if you had told me the current state of mainstream gaming I wouldn't of believed you either..
Those big auto manufacturers didn't cancel small cars because they couldn't R&D the emissions requirements. Sure, those higher emissions requirements did drive up some of the cost to come closer to the SUVs, but the small cars were practically universally still cheaper than SUVs.

The big automakers stopped making small cars because people largely stopped buying them.
I don’t get these comments. Is sf only downtown or the tenderloin? No.

I moved here recently and I must say that the sidewalks in the rest of the city are cleaner than in many other big cities ive been to around the world.

Not to start whatoutism but have you been to DC? even outside of downtown there is trash everywhere, SO many rats. I’d argue that the homeless situation there is in worse shape.
NYC? New Orleans?

Glen park, twin peaks, Noe Valley, anything west of mission is pretty clean, I’m yet to encounter shit on the sidewalk on this side of the city.

Sure the tenderloin is pretty bad, but there is a whole rest of the city to walk out there that’s beautiful.
> but there isn't really a viable option for renting a pickup for a few hours.

Really? I did exactly that this weekend and it was easy and didn't cost that much. I figure with how rarely I need one, renting a truck when needed is much cheaper than owning one. Added benefit is that I'm not constantly being asked to have my truck borrowed by friends and family.
I've been working a bit the past week on a guide for a workshop I'll be running in a few months to get research mathematicians productive using just GitHub's UI.

I love seeing F# mentioned on Hacker News, but this article in particular is a bit dubious. Yes, you can use F# from C#, but it gets frustrating quickly.

Fortunately, almost anything you can do in C# can be done better in F# anyway, so there's really very little need to use C# at all once you take the plunge into functional programming.

The Nanjing Massacre and Bataan Death March are pretty famous examples of rudeness. Couldn't it be argued that the USSR declaring war on them at the same time as the US dropped two atomic bombs on them are examples of arms curtailing rudeness?

> I just don't read code as I would a mathematical proof.

That's fine, although I'd say that FP is probably just not for you. It's very much a style of programming that lends itself more towards "programming is akin to proofs" than "programming is about manipulating things on a von neumann architecture". Neither is an incorrect view of the world, but they do represent different ways of reasoning about things and it's better to use a language more suited towards one way of thinking.
Another would be boatbuilder checking in. I started a rather ambitious project during covid to build a 21 ft sailing dory. It's my first boat but I insisted on going with traditional solid timbers and rivets and all that. I'm just about to rivet the last plank and still have the gunwales, rigging, rudder, centreboard etc. to do. It's been an amazing process though and I already can't wait to begin another build.
