Is anyone currently doing this? I’ve seen proof of concepts for racing in motogp or something, but didn’t realized autonomous motorcycles was a thing outside the racetrack.

To be fair, this sort of complexity usually results from "UX" requirements. Just think about what it takes to materialize those damn figma designs. Google's Material Design is not a simple "skin".

When it comes to business applications (forms, reports, requirements strongly influenced by end-users and evolving in ways hard to predict), my most successful experiences consisted of multi-page apps + vanilla js for validation.

My last project in this field failed though. The client was infected by the figma virus and I failed to compatibilize this methodology with the UI fluff they so fiercely demanded.
> A website could block Google’s crawlers in its robots.txt file — OpenAI, fresh from scraping every website in the world to build ChatGPT, just allowed its crawler to be blocked in this way — but blocking Google’s crawlers means deindexing your site from search, which is, bluntly, suicidal.

And someone still doesn't think Google is constantly abusing their monopoly position ? This is basically textbook example, and it's not the first time they do something like this.
> That's probably why they haven't officially straight-up announced the issue.

What do you mean by "they haven't officially straight-up announced the issue." ? They did so - several times actually.
I think Phoenix benefits by being the only game in town, and it's a much smaller town.

Also, there was a moment in Rust history where people near the core Rust community were striving for a std library variant and that didn't go well, politically. There were several options already in the ecosystem and it was a pet project that would challenge incumbents.
Croatia is the same, our serial killer that started killing when he was 16 is being released soon, killed someone on a free weekend while serving time, got married in prison. Not sure what to say of such a system, I'm not really in favor.

And 40 years is like the max, for raping and killing it's more like 15-20, eg a deranged man who chopped of a tourist's head is released in a few years after serving 15, another man that raped and killed a minor is soon to be out as well after 22 years in prison.

Not commenting on the absurdity, but (untraceable) physical cash is what's forbidden. And governments are going after anonymous asset ownership systems like crypto for the same reason. They want control, and visibility into monetary movemnts.

Do you have any research to backup your claim?
You're right it might be a natural end of life that coincides too.
A mechanic we used before moving had a strict no checks policy. He had a bad check for the repair of a church bus, from a church, framed in a fancy gold-painted frame, with "IN GOD WE TRUST, ALL OTHERS PAY CASH" below it.

That test puts a lot of stuff through `slog.Any`, while the zap version uses more strongly-typed variants, so I'm not sure it's a fair comparison.

What it comes down to is that zap special cases things like slice-of-int, slice-of-string, slice-of-timestamp, slog doesn't, and the benchmark includes all those special cases. I question whether your typical log statement includes slices. A more fair benchmark would be just scalar types, and zap & slog optimizations there look pretty similar.

What does it have to do with cash? Ever heard of bank transfers? Spending $10,000 cash sounds ridiculously unsafe for both parties.

> Since when?

Drug deals, money laundering schemes, theft, ransoms, etc.
I fail to see non illegal way to obtain $10,000 cash. And if you can get it legally, just do bank transfers instead
It's also good for skin exfoliation
That's just what I was kind of looking for - I'll be certain to read up on it.

Part of what I want to see is how others use their space, and use that as a "springboard" to how I could use mine.
The Evolution of State Transfer (2022)
So a farmer is giving out receipts; how does that help the farmer at the bank?

To sum up, what is the standard of records that the bank will accept? Is there one?

does the bank say, "we see you wrote that you sold 20 boxes of produce on Saturday"
I really hope not, that sounds like a really bad limbo to be stuck into
How is USDC a scam? Or how about DAI? Also, when I say stablecoins, I am also referring to CBDC's. Anyways, not everyone has a bank account (your viewpoint is very Western centric) and having to withdraw cash in a foreign country is just poor UX in the digital age.

And what about refugees fleeing war, like Ukrainians in 2022. There were many many cases where Ukrainians had zero access to their banks while in Poland. Having 12 words, or a set of 5 trusted guardians would be a much better way of securing your wealth than trusting some third party custodian in a city under siege.
I'm against it as I do believe that we are not just the result of our own free will free of anything but a result of our environment, luck etc.

I'm lucky that I had parents which gave me behavior patterns which do not make me kill or rape others.

And even if someone believes they are right, they are actually right just no in the moral and ethical sphere of a majority.

I don't like rape and in my world it's wrong. But that doesn't change their world view. And I don't kill him due to this because why would I be allowed to end the life of someone else?

The best I can do is to remove this person from the society.

It's easy to kill and hard not to.

And in the worst case scenario I would kill someone who hurts or killed a close person (perhaps) but I would need to accept the consequences of it.

These decisions reek of ignorance. Banking is not as frictionless as people seem to think. Many law abiding people have issues opening bank accounts, maybe they're immigrants, maybe their name fuzzy matches someone on the ofac list, maybe their bank decided that that last $10000 payment was unusual for this customer and blocked their account and started asking for documents that they might not have in a timely manner, like utility bill (but you're living with a friend), or a credit card statement (but banks won't approve of one for you because you have no way to be grandfathered in), or you have your money on SVB and it blew up and you had to withdraw/borrow cash to make payroll (transferring would take too long and might fail). There is so much mindless automation that thinks it's correct, and so many banking industry employees that can only tell you "well, the system said...", that I fear this will break many people's lives.

Also remember that people really do live very different lives that are perfectly legal, that's what freedom is. This is deciding to make conformity into the law.

Finally, my greatest fear is that this (and many distopian policies I've seen recently from Europe and the US) is creating the justification that many authoritarian regimes (esp. in Africa) have always hoped for to irreversibly break democracy and throw human rights out the window. I know we should be able to solve our own issues, but...we haven't, and this will realistically make it almost impossible to do now.
WinRAR is (was?) developed in Russia, so it always seemed like a great way for the Russian FSB to hack foreign systems.
Maybe if you have a dozen peers around to compare notes.

But the subject is esoteric. Peers are in short supply.
I really like this app, I wish there was a way to play a video while editing the subtitles though!
This system does not attempt to influence what you spend your money on, except when you're laundering money or want to use it buy illegal things.

Not saying such systems don't also exist (e.g. food stamps, tax reliefs, different VAT regimes), but this is not it.
Haven't noticed any significant change to be honest (Western Europe). I switched jobs a bit over a year ago and now I'm interviewing for another company (mainly because of the salary increase). So far, so good. Let's see how it develops.
I have never observed that, given free choice, people prefer to associate with people that are unlike them. When you've recently immigrated to the US from a foreign country, you don't think "finally, I'm away from my countrymen, I can't wait to form a work group of zero people who speak my language and don't understand any of my assumptions and references." When you're planning a high school party, you don't think "me and my friends are on the football team, so we'd better not invite too many football players and will be sure to invite the comp sci guys, the band kids, the theater kids, and the stoners."

That said, I do agree with the meta-implication of this paper, which is that it's bad for society at large when the classes don't encounter each other socially at all.
Much "affordable housing" is built in this way -- the market rate units in new buildings subsidize the below-market units so you do get a good mix of socioeconomic classes in each building. Moderately successful in my experience.
Ask HN: How to replace macOS default dictation
Hello HN,

I try to use Speech to Text(stt) models as much as I can when programming to reduce the amount of inputI have to type as I have carpal tunnel syndrome. On macOS, the default stt model is mediocre compared to the progress made by other models like Whisper.

For running a stt model locally, what models are recommended? Anybody already working on this?

Any links, repos, or advice would be greatly appreciated.
if you're a bit older, IRC is the place to go.
I feel like the metal frame external car seat would get hot as hell in the baking sun when taking your baby for a picnic.
I will agree that recently, esp the last 2 major versions, the OS has gotten worse from a stability perspective. I have errors in my logs at a steady pace even on new machines and fresh, untouched OS install from the factory. They just never go away. The cloud services are always on and phoning home, even when you have everything that uses an Apple ID signed out. It’s becoming more intrusive and less configurable, but nothing beats the shortcuts or the mac keyboard layout, and the UI intuitiveness. I can’t go back to ctrl-s and everytime I’m on my Linux machine I struggle to do the ole carpal tunnel-s to save haha
Well Switzerland has SEPA but realtime SEPA transactions are usually only available within the same bank. And I havent heard of any bank solving any Sepa transactions on the weekend here
this thinking stems from different political environment.

In EU we still have some power over politicians. US with its cemented dual party is basically a fasade of democracy. Thats why US people are so anti government.

Everything is always set in us vs them context.

Lets hope this trend will not affect eu countries too much.
I was assuming payment for things like contractors or furnace repair that don't walk around with visa terminals.

I agree that in a grocery store, it is far easier to pay with a card.

Not sure if you're joking.. but there's light on the dark side of the Moon, it's just called that because it's never visible from Earth.

I assumed the craft that brought the lander into orbit would have some sort of visual tracking, but maybe the distances involved make that impossible and all we get is telemetry + a rendering to visualize it.
I think it is a sign of habitual cynicism that you assume "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." was said by a politician. I think people feel like they are defending themselves from being manipulated by not accepting anything on its face as sincere. Sometimes a pipe is just a pipe.
winrar is really good if you wish to split a big file into smaller chunks, since it has parity features.
Startup Studio
Not really sure if you're just trolling here or not. I picked this specific example because it has happened more than once. There are plenty of ways my wife, who's actually tough as nails, has needed a ride home when crashing. Should she call an ambulance because she bent her wheel enough it can't be ridden, or should she be expected to carry a truing stand?

Also, many things aren't emergencies until they are. Having to walk home 20 miles in the desert when you can't push your bike isn't an emergency, until you've been out in exposure for 5 hours. The plan here is quite literally, everything is fine unless something happens, then my husband knows where I am and will come get me.
Thank you for proving my point.

My wife, currently in southern France, was given a check last week, and tells me she's glad that she brought cash with her.

As I stated, your experiences are not the only experiences. And again, you just assumed that any deviation from your expectations makes it an American aberration. This is simply not true, and speaks to your limited experience and biases.
Maybe if you changed the batteries, the TV remote might work properly?

"The only problem is that Teslas suck." Don't you love when articles are based on opinions not supported by any rigorous arguments? I've owned two Teslas (and still own a Model X) and I drive between 10 and 20 different other car brands/models every year due to travel. I also test drive any electric car that catches my eye. And I can say very confidently that Tesla's don't suck if you compare them to other cars available out there. They are quite refined and well-engineered. Model X is really quite a marvel from the technical and comfort standpoints.
Cornell Note Taking
Yeah our electronic transfer methods suck. Even between my business and personal accounts, doing a regular bank transfer, it takes several days. Literally faster to withdraw cash and drive it over.

Meanwhile, if you have to do a wire transfer for a large sum of money, and the bank screws it up, they have around 30 minutes to recall it before the wire is permanently completed.
Redwoodjs started out focused on jamstack, integrating react front end with graphql backend api. Recently it has moved away from that architecture embracing react server components and nextjs 13 which defaults to react server components.

When I got a RealID-compliant driver's license a few years ago in my state in the US, an existing driver's license and passport were not sufficient. I needed some document to server as proof of my current address, such as a utility bill. I don't remember what all the options were but, yes, some people--including kids getting their first driver's license or people sharing an apartment who don't have their name on a lease--can run into issues.
Swiss banks are not decent enough
Thanks for pointing that out.

As an utter newbie to Rust, I can't guess whether or not the tutorial has become dated.
Baklava isn't really all that hard to make in your home kitchen if you use premade phyllo, available in almost every supermarket (in the US, anyway, although I also saw it in London and Germany). Then you can alter the fats and volatiles as much as you please. The hardest part, in this instance, is finding the precisely correct thawing time for the frozen phyllo. Too little, it is brittle and breaks instantly; too much, and it is sodden.

I typically like to make an all-butter version with walnuts and almonds, and a very tangy citrus-forward honey cinnamon syrup, with the citrus halves simmered in the syrup for many hours. Which, TIL, makes my baklava sort-of-Cypriot. I've also made piles of vegan baklava, replacing butter with shortening, for those vegans that don't accept honey as an animal product. I suppose bees aren't really "kept" so much as "employed".
Is it possible to have no bank account in the Netherlands? Don't you need one to pay taxes? (I think it's a right to have one and banks must offer a free option.)
Honestly it does not really trade development speed IMO.

The constraints it imposes pay dividends. Do you write code once and forget it? Or do you often change what your code is doing or how it is structured? Because those changes tend to bring out the most bugs. The type system will really help you with any refactorings. I've done some huge changes to the entire structure of my apps and once it compiles had zero issues. It just worked from first run.

Do you find performance problems in production? How much time is spent on those? If you're in Python/Ruby/Erlang land that can be a huge chunk of your time. A Rust solution is going to be memory and cpu efficient by default. Unless you are really in extreme performance land you are likely not going to need to bother with this at all.

How about problems with deployment or dependency management. The output of rust is an executable more or less self contained. The package management is superb.
Cube integrates with LangChain, so you don't need to write SQL anymore
A Wired article from '03 pretty well sums the reasons for the fall of Sun: https://www.wired.com/2003/07/40mcnealy/ Sun staggered on for a few more years after the situation described there but Niagara (the UltraSPARC T1 and its successors) weren't enough to stave off the Intel juggernaut and the encroachment of Linux and its ecosystem.
A free citizen shouldn't have to justify anything to anyone without an attorney. God bless the USA and the 4th and 5th Amendments!
So cash is not legal tender then.
Running an all-cash business because you need to cash out your coins so the volatility doesn't kill you is really tough, especially when banks then won't deal with you depositing that cash into a bank account because they discriminate against your LEGAL business.

It just seems like cryptocurrencies are re-inventing the banking system without all of the pesky safeguards against fraud and abuse that hurts the first movers (not the actual plebs) while encoding their cultural biases into the tech that is supposed to be unencumbered by laws or cultural moires.
No, but the 1970s proved that the economic policies of the progressive era came with a price tag: inflation. It took about a decade, but the Federal Reserve eventually found the balls to jack up interest rates and bring the party to an end
My cable modem (which actually cost $120) is capable of 1.4Gbps downstream and so should cost $1.4B (or $700M and change if you give only $0.50 per baud per direction).

$1.2 * 10^2 vs $1.4 * 10^9.
Most of us don't spend our time arguing online; we're busy using the language in domains where it's clearly the best choice: embedded and systems software where memory safety and a tight memory footprint are more important than productivity for new developers.

Once you have a few years experience under your belt, it's natural to want to use the language in other domains like large web applications, even though it's only a reasonable choice because you already spent the effort to learn the language.
Follow your passion, don't listen to others. Give this advice to any other putting such question on HN.
Dopamine is to help control symptoms, not to slow development of the disease. There is no use for dopamine treatment in an early diagnosis that precedes meaningful symptoms.

Lifestyle changes, on the other hand, mostly meaning exercise, significantly and reliably slow the onset and development of symptoms.
Always, always, always - when I'm faced with a new project using a new technology, I have two choices:

1) spend an indeterminate amount of time reading documentation until I actually understand what I'm doing, and have nothing to show for the time I spent gaining a deep (or at least decent) understanding.

2) Just jump in and start coding, bugging people to look at error messages for me, google when that doesn't work, skim the documentation when that doesn't work, cut and paste examples when that doesn't work, but have something to "show" at the end of the day which is far more complex, slow and unpredictable than a well-thought-out solution would be.

Every year of my 30 year software development career has been spent under software management fads that insist on the second approach because it provides an illusion of productivity and predictability. I actually had some hope when XP came out in the late 90's that the tide was turning here, but XP became Agile, which was "meet the new boss, same as the old boss".
Amateur gardener here. The hardest part about this is time.

One thing I love about software is that I write it then run it and see the result. My turnaround time is often measured in seconds.

My garden? Weeks, at minimum, before I begin to see what results my work has wrought. Iteration takes months, if not years, depending on your climate.

However, it does feel very rewarding, doing something with your hands that results in something very tangible. Bringing in a bowl of lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes that you can immediately toss into a salad feels great.
I don't need to backup my boot sectors or root partitions since all my systems are provisioned. I can always re-create them with scripts, should any of them fail.

I'm only replicating the data filesystems.

From what I see, sanoid looks quite similar to zrepl. Both tools are probably able to achieve similar results.

I do feel that zrepl has more features so far, though. But hey, if your setup is working and your data is secure, that's the most important.

Not for my model. I have an Instinct, which is their cheapest line and doesn't allow app development. Their more expensive offerings do, though, you're right.

I went for the Instinct because I use it heavily when backpacking in the wilderness, and it's the most rugged. Plus, it's inexpensive enough that if I bash it against a rock or something and destroy it, it's not a crisis.
