An aside, but I was just setting up a SMB share on a Linux machine (Ubuntu) and had the absolute similar experience as mentioned above. However, when hitting the share points with osx, it worked flawlessly from the original setup.

The windows machines on the other hand took a lot of figuring out to get the access I was looking for. Seems the windows built in username AND a (broken?) Form of password caching really does a number when using SMB shares hosted on a not windows machine.
I 100% agree with you however, it is a super frustrating experience that leaves one bewildered, even though it should be simple to get up and running.

(It took far less time to setup goestools on 2 machines, than to get the shared folders to work correctly through the household)

> losers joining together to compete

You are saying it like it is something bad. Competition is good for consumers, and I cheer any means to spin up, sustain and heat competition.
This is a real pity. With this latest move it seems they just ate the new kid on the block. Akamai in my experience is not cheap, certainly not to the level Stackpath was. I saw big cost savings by switching from an Akamai CDN setup to stackpath.

As a Stackpath customer, I also received an email from Akamai welcoming me aboard. They provided a helpful where I could start a 90 day trial of several competing services ... none of which seemed like a like-for-like match, leaving me a bit confused. There's also no indication of pricing (typical Akamai). Seems like it's time to look for an alternative.

> if someone disappears behind a car or building for just a few seconds, then in court they could argue that they weren't the same person

They could argue it, sure. But if that's their only argument they would almost certainly lose because judges and jurors understand the concept of object permanence.

Lose sight for ten minutes with not enough detail to verify whether it's the same person? Reasonable. Hide behind a car for 30 seconds, with footage showing no one else coming or going? Good luck convincing anyone that it was the other guy hiding behind that car.

This is erring close to letting an LLM give medical advice to people without them fully understanding what LLMs are. People seeking help with their mental health might not be in the clearest headspace to understand the nuances of using a chatbot vs their own research or seeking a professional.

Edit0: Problem coming from the possibility of the LLM giving bad advice leading to a negative outcome for the person seeking service.

Not actually all that different than android apps. These are very easy to look at.
The back end is where the real power of most websites sit. Same with most apps. The "client" is typically a small bit.
I think it comes to nebulous concept of out of "free will". Just not have a "bot" running some loop. But have entirely self-acting AI. One that could for instead go and find Reddit or Lemmy or some other place.
1) What we had was not complete because sequencing happened for (relatively) small chunks. Due to overlap the sequence could be reconstructed, but not for areas with a lot of repeats.

2) This incomplete sequence has nevertheless been VERY useful, because these repeats mostly are outside of protein encoding regions ('genes').

3) 'The' human genome is of course non existent because you and I have a different one. What is meant is that this has been done for a 'bunch' of individual humans.

4) Because we're much more alike than we are different in our genome, this is still very informative.
Interesting. Sounds like we should be sending them drone munitions then.

I mean, is it interesting? I'm sure it's a daily fact of war that conditions are never optimal and you try and adapt. I'm also sure there's a feedback loop somewhere with Ukrainians telling the west how much of which things theyd rather have.

So sure, let's send them more drone munitions, but why is this on HN? Oh right, because someone thought it was interesting.
Instead of storing your data grouped by record, column databases store data grouped by column. This means that if your query is only interested in one or a few columns but from a large number of records , e.g. to aggregate it to calculate an average, it needs to read less database blocks from disk, so lower io costs. Same for in memory or cached, the data your interested in is easier accessible for lower performance cost.

This is especially useful for reporting/analytical purposes where you want to aggregate over data from many records.
That blew my mind as well. I would have thought a much larger dataset would have been required.
the app is totally free of use. you just need to provide an API key. I canot use my own key in public way since it costs money. But I can Share with interested people a key so they can test the app. Feel free to send me request of needed.

There aren’t too many people capable of jumping through all the hoops, but yes, if you go as far as self-hosting your email, your data is under your control, not Google’s. The address though is still not yours.

What do you mean by “Email is already decentralized”? Global email network is a Federation, and it’s a good thing. But as a user of email provider you are a client to a server in a centralized network. Eppie is “more decentralized” because it is a p2p network, there are no servers.

As for fighting spammers, the problem is there, it is not our main priority, but in Eppie you can generate as many addresses as you want. The user controls whether to make an address public or share it only with trusted contacts. And Whitelist is also in our backlog.
I think battery vs fuel (oil) begs to differ. Until we can run a 747 on a battery it’s absolutely the deciding factor. I have every hope we are able to do that one day, I’m just saying that energy density is a deciding factor.
Indeed it is, but when you double down on minimalism this hard, then "stacked shrinking boxes" are all you're gonna get.
When data is stored in columns, you can add it up very fast. The traditional use case is analytical reporting.
Blockchain demos sure weren't.
The presence and use of column families is only half of the puzzle - it doesn't strictly imply that the execution engine is capable of working in a vectorized columnar style (which is necessary for competitive OLAP).

It's one of the most popular N languages in the world for some small value of N, and it's been that way for a long time. The only really big piece of news is the "Shannon plan" but that was 3 years ago.

In terms of the language itself not much has changed, the match statement is the only standout.
... and yet an LLM might be a LOT more accessible and trustworthy (meaning that what you discuss stays private) than a mental health professional.

Even for medical services, in most of the world people actually have very limited access to medical professionals. Would this LLM beat people just attempting to fix things themselves?

I helped my Dad doing just that ! It was fairly easy, it just need patience. It's South West France, in an area with sandy soil. All it took was ropes, shovels and buckets. We connected it to drain pipe buried in the garden, to capture the winter rain water. The water is used for outdoor cleaning, gardening.
In the past I had problems both with falling asleep and staying asleep, but these days it's mostly the latter. I've tried pretty much everything, too, to no avail. What works best is melatonin, but it's still spotty and I suffer diminishing returns after 3-4 days of consecutive use. I wish you good luck.
It was really mind blowing to me the first time I did an inventory in my house of appliances and gadgets that had to convert AC back to DC after being collected as DC and converted to AC.

Thats why I always bring my 2 liter ceramic jug whenever I go on a coffee date
Biggest improvement to sleep quality I had was giving up caffeine, which isn't mentioned in this article.

I'm inclined to bet, most people in the west who self report suffering form poor sleep, can narrow it down to caffeine over-consumption, since it leads you slowly to this march of death burning the candle at both ends where you drink coffee to compensate for poor sleep and you sleep poorly because of too much caffeine.

I have had to do similar, but in SVG. Back in the days before flexbox I had a project that needed to print colour reports in IE7+. Browser print removes background colours except for web graphics, so SVG can be used as a workaround. However, IE supported only it's own weird fork of SVG called VML.

This was how I ended up writing flexbox like layout code for SVG with a VML bridge. Was a good project as a junior developer.

Also, and this might be obvious, turn off some time before going to bed. I am in the habbit of 'trying one more thing the fix this bug' before bed which makes me sleep simply terrible.

Eating old cheese also helps for me but can make me feel groggy in the morning.
True, failed to mention that I never drink caffeine after 2pm. I never understood how some people can have a coffee in the evening and go to bed just fine.
Thanks. So if I understand correctly, this is basically like ignoring all the other columns (that you're not interested in)?

And do you run them in conjunction with your existing Postgres, install it as a plugin, or switch your entire db to something like Hydra?

~ My average sleep efficiency (time asleep vs time in bed) according to Apple Watch & Oura is ~85%, meaning to get my 7h30 of sleep to feel rested I will stay more than 10h in bed. That sucks!

85% of 10h is 8.5h :) To get 7.5h with 85% you need ~8.8h in bed.
That's not the claim.

It's almost invariably political ideology propagated by conservative intellectual dark web conspiracy peddlers like Sam Harris, Weinsteins or Rush Limbaugh type characters using rhetorical tricks to create FUD and blow smoke in order to support a political agenda.

They're propagandists and liars.
I'm tired of that game and I've got no time for their tricks. I've seen them all before and it's just feeding the trolls. They're being insincere frauds.

The chemistry works. The physics works. There's no dispute on the chemical properties of carbon dioxide. No dispute on the current measurements or the physics of it. Nobody is saying the ph levels of the ocean are not being measured accurately or that certain biological chemistry doesn't only work at specific levels.

There's no rogue satellite returning different data. Even the American Petroleum Institute doesn't dispute any actual data.

Very fundamental chemistry and physics would have to foundationally change for climate change to be fake. I've yet to find anyone with a scintilla of evidence to show how this alternative model actually works. That's because it doesn't.

It's all rhetorical hand waving nonsense by internet celebrities and talk show yappers who can't balance a chemical equation yet alone propose an alternate GCM. Their criticisms are just uninformed bullshit.
I think the biggest detriment to the quality of sleep is to start trying to improve sleep. It should not be a performance with self monitoring and evaluation.
>I never understood how some people can have a coffee in the evening and go to bed just fine

By building tolerance and genetics.
In row oriented DBs data is laid out row by row. In order to read a column of data the DB has to read through the entire row to get to the next one. When computing an analytical query like the sum of a single column, the DB wastes cycles skipping through all the columns in the row.

In columnar databases a batch of column data is stored sequentially followed by the next column and so on. So if you need to sum a column you can read it sequentially very quickly and sum it up without needing to touch the data of any other column.

Columnar is also better at filtering and grouping for similar reasons.

As a general rule if your workload looks like “select sum(x) where y group by X” a columnar db will be a great fit.

The trade off is that columnar databases don’t like being updated and work best when you only insert data. This is because when you update existing data you now need to rewrite several pages on disk because the columns are all over the place.

Because of this there’s very few areas where a pure columnar DB makes sense. They’re great for timeseries metrics like sensor data , click event logs etc. places where you are just recording a fact and don’t need to update past events.
You never know what could be in that ceramic, though. I recommend to just use your hands and let your date drink from them.
I think this concept will be the future of coding. You'll have something like CodeLLaMA-javascript trained specifically for the language, then you'll have LoRA-like files distributed with/for each library. I can image something like the definitely-typed project for typescript types, but instead of doing `yarn add @types/someLibrary` you'll be able to do `yarn add @loramodels/someLibrary`.

I'm javascript centric these days, but the same concept should work for most languages with a package manager.

Some of these features could even be integrated into say yarn/npm directly, you currently have a devDependencies section of a package.json..I could imaging having something along the lines of a "llmDependencies" section to define which main model and version to use and which "library" models to use.
This is Apple we are talking about. If it's compliance, it's most certainly malicious compliance.

There are good reasons to prefer Apple but repairability is not one of them.
This was a strange read.

"Just as toxic" reads, obviously, as "as bad as", with the implication that paper is as bad as plastic.

But the article ignores paper entirely and focuses on the use of PLA liners in (some) paper cups and lids.

So, already there is obviously far less potentially toxic material and so already the title is untrue.

Then the article states that there are "as many chemicals" in PLA as regular plastics.

Ok? But what those chemicals are obviously matters?

They say that mosquito larvae were negatively affected by both paper and plastic cups, but not to what degrees.

This, at least as presented, is trash.
Sources on that? I thought uranium mining was mostly leaching (which is very, very, very energy efficient, and non-destructive if you take care of the used solution) with open mining on the decline.
Yes though AC is still safer and easier to transport. It's just the conversion that is wasteful. DC grids might be a good option but not without risks, especially at higher voltages.

I think this statement might convey a false sense of privacy. New incoming and outgoing messages that go through your old addresses can still be tracked, blocked, etc. If I understand correctly, the p2p aspect is only at play when sending emails to others on the eppie network.

The One Best Programming Language, One Year on (English and Python)
The everpresent bad advice to get 8-9 or more hours of sleep definitely ruined my sleep experience for years when I'd keep trying and fail to do so.
Oh, yeah, that's no secret. Anything that touches food is lined to within an inch of its life with plastic. There's no escaping that. Every soda can you drink, most of your reusable water bottles, all that supposedly eco-friendly packaging is loaded with plastic.

And they can BPA-free you all they want, but they just keep shifting to newer, less tested substances that don't have a bad reputation yet.
This line of thought makes no sense, the plastic pen designed to sit in your hand was crucially NOT designed to be in your mouth directly touching mucous membrane.

Perhaps skin diffusion has been taken into account somewhere but this is not carte blanche to up that dosage by some unknown exponent by shoving unknown, non-food grade plastic (whose constituent parts you don't even know) into your mouth

When I go to see an obscure band playing in a rundown club I go for being there, not for the quality of their riffs or for the acoustics of the space (which I expect both to be bad). This can't be replaced by a future AI as it cannot be replaced by the current radio playing in my car, this is the human part mentioned above.
You don’t need permission to protest, but you do generally need one to march. In this case, since the protesters were physically obstructing a freeway, on which pedestrians are usually legally banned, a march permit would never have been issued. I suspect that’s part of the police rationale behind not giving orders to disperse. You might end up with a riotous crowd semi-spontaneously on a city street, so reading the Riot Act and ordering them to leave is appropriate. Everyone in this protest already broke the law by walking onto a freeway.

Agreed that the laser user should face stiff penalties. Federal ones. You want to protest violently, that’s one thing. You want to endanger people who just happen to live within a mile of you by blinding pilots? That should hurt a lot more than spending a night or two in jail.
