Show HN: Dumbar, a not so smart menubar app
I created this to fill a need, accessing those silly LLMs from the menu bar instead of a web browser or command line.

It relies 100% on Ollama, but gives you an easy way to make queries against multiple models, and provides a few sample modelfiles for you.

open source, of course.

That's another way of saying your typical utilization ratio is 66%. Which is on the low side honestly.

That said, it's a trade off between efficiency and load spike tolerance. I trust that the trade off is made with informed decision.

Why does every drink need a straw, anyway?
That's good. And I am biased. I personally liked American and Japanese culture better anyways.

Growing up in China, everyone I knew keeps telling me our culture is fake, reconstructed from a pile of burning books and detached from both history and modern life, at least ever since Cultural Revolution.

But frankly every country is having a cultural crisis today. I just want to preserve some things more. And yes I know that is biased.

The Ven (Hven) island where he built his observatories is well worth visiting. There's not much left of the observatories, but it's a really beautiful island. I went there in the early 2000s. There are ferries from Landskrona/Helsingborg/Copenhagen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ven_(Sweden)

The island was historically under Danish rule. Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546–1601) built two observatories there, Uraniborg and Stjerneborg, during 1576–1596. The observatories were built by the inhabitants of the island with Tycho Brahe as their Lord.

The Swedish took over control in 1658, as the rest of Scania was ceded to Sweden by the Treaty of Roskilde. The island was not specifically mentioned in the treaty, and according to the Danes it was not part of Scania, but part of Zealand and therefore still under Danish rule. The Swedes did not agree with that interpretation, and sent troops to occupy the island on 6 May 1658. The transfer to Sweden was confirmed in 1660 by the Treaty of Copenhagen.

It's particularly unfortunate that Uraniborg does not exist any longer. It was glorious (supposedly):

Sounds about right. Most grills out here are $200-400, but will rust and fall apart within a couple years in my climate (humidity is insane here).

For $2000-4000, you can buy real stainless steel grills that are warrantied to last 15+ years, not 1 year.

From the paper(https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19440049.2023.2...):

> PFAS were detected in almost all paper-based straws, with highly variable concentrations between brands, ranging from < LOQ(level of quantification) to 7.15 ng/g (Figure 1). PFOA was the most frequently detected component. Specific concentrations can be found in Supplementary Table A3. In the other types of straws, more often all PFAS were below the LOQ. In bamboo straws, PFAS were detected in the range < LOQ to 3.47 ng/g in four out of five brands. In glass straws two brands showed concentrations above the LOQ, ranging from < LOQ to 6.65 ng/g, while the concentrations for the other brands were found to be below the LOQ. In the stainless steel straws, no PFAS concentrations above the LOQ were observed in any of the brands. Finally, three out of four plastic straw brands contained quantifiable PFAS concentrations, ranging from < LOQ to 0.924 ng/g. There was a significant variation in PFAS profiles between straws from the same materials. This variation, in combination with the relatively small dataset, made it impossible to compare statistically the materials and continent of origin (CO) for each PFAS individually. Therefore, we used the ΣPFAS concentrations instead.

Is this a lot? What do these levels mean? "Detectable" isn't really a useful threshold for many chemicals. Also, how much of these chemicals am I likely to ingest? Does it depend on the type of drink, it's temperature and chemistry?

Apple has never marketed iPad as a general computing platform. (Well, except that weird “what’s a computer” ad.) No version of iPad has ever been able to run any other OS than iOS/iPadOS and the device itself was introduced as a user-friendly alternative to the clunky and ugly “tablet PCs”. When a product reminds you of a different product, or has the same amount of hardware inside as the other product, it doesn’t have to be that other product.

No, it's a consequence of British rent-seeking culture, where all policy at the end of the day is evaluated by the question: does it make property prices go up or down, and if down we don't do it.
I'm sure someone probably feels strongly about this, but I will ask anyway:

Do we as a society even need straws?

I never use a straw at home.

The only time I would consider wanting one would be for a milkshake maybe, due to its thickness making it hard to sip otherwise.

I am not anti-straw, just think it is sort of a weird thing for our society to use when I stop to think about it.

The country/location is already detected and used before you get to the nutrition facts page. In the url I gave, it includes "/us/en-us/". As the other commenter to my comment saw, going to that url in Sweden gives the US nutrition facts, not their local ones.

Given the location isn't used to customize the results, nor provide any information on where restaurants are or availability, what do you believe the end user's benefit is?
I think animations are fine and even good as long as they're communicating something to the user (not just done for flare) and perhaps more critically, are non-blocking (e.g. the UI is still functional during the animation) which makes the ability to toggle off animations less necessary.

Switching spaces on macOS is one of the best examples of easy improvements. There's info being communicated (where the user is being swept away to, where the destination desktop sits in relation to the current one) but it should probably be sped up by at least 40% and not block user interaction so if there's a focused textfield at the destination desktop, the user can start typing mid-transition and no text will be lost.

Games. The attack surface for third-party input is very limited, and you can just secure those bits rather than adopting a new language for the entire program.

Minority Report 2: racism boogaloo.
That article only says he is "on the far right", per the testimony of a police commissioner, and does not allege membership in any organization. The arms dealer himself claims he is far left, though he likely cannot be trusted.

i think the bigger issue is probably that the paper straws are about an order of magnitude higher in mass, virtually 100% organic chemicals, and so represent about an order of magnitude higher resource consumption

the bigger issue than that is that disposable straws, even after that order-of-magnitude increase in impact, are an absolutely insignificant issue in ecological terms and yet have somehow become a political issue and spawned new laws and ridiculous greenwashing marketing
Straws require ridiculously small amounts of raw materials though, if you choose a material that increases the steel price by $1000/ton, then that adds a single extra cent to the costs of a 10g metal straw which then retails for a dollar a piece.
You are a bit behind on the available read lengths. The Oxford nanopore can produce reads as long as 300kb (k as in kilo) and the PacBio hifi can product 15 to 20kb reads.

A big term for a simple design principle indeed.

But their implementation isn’t as grim as what I had initially envisioned when hearing that term. I immediately thought of Smalltalk and the idea of objects sitting next to each other, forming a graph (of no particular structure… just a graph), passing messages to neighbours. Like cells in an organism send hormones and whatnot. That makes for a huge mess that cannot be reasoned about, hence why we instead went with stricter structures like trees for (single) inheritance. That’s much closer to this silo approach, which seems nice and reasonable (although I get the impression considerable complexity was swept under the rug, like global DB consistence; the siloes cannot truly be siloed).
There is an equally strong case for the person on the other side for the behavior they are trying to exclude to do the same. Just stop sucking please, they say.

Yes, many disabled people need straws. Specifically soft ones, if they have movement disorders.
Indeed, as you note, a reinstallable base is a goal everyone wants. Its basically historical reasons and coupling of primitives (tied to the compiler innards) to nonprimitives which has caused this situation, but sufficient elbow grease should improve things.

I think the question isn’t “what is the issue with negative weights” rather “what is a real world example of negative weights” which the article doesn’t really explain.

I don’t know any off hand. I would guess its when a path has a benefit incurred rather than a cost. I.e. in a monopoly board it might be shorter to get to a destination by getting thrown in jail first, but the longer path around the whole board comes with a benefit I.e. negative weight of receiving $200 by crossing the start.

Your reply does help clarify the “why not normalize” which is helpful. I’m still curious for other examples of negative weights.
..I prefer to keep it dimmed, in my eyes it does not have the same importance (and brightness) as the article itself.
Also similar to the design of the Luajit IR.

If no new requests from users are arriving in a siloed AZ, internal services in that AZ will naturally quiesce as they have no new work to do.

But this is a problem all over Europe. You could say it's worse in Italy than it is in the Netherlands, but even in the Netherlands politics are on a serious collision course with reality.

I can't think of a single country where they have the labor they need, certainly not high-skilled but low-skilled is a problem too. Mostly the problem is pay, or to put it another way, you cannot make enough money of low-skilled labor to pay decent wages, which results in no available labor.

Something needs to give. Either we need a housing crash serious enough that historic city centers see across the board drops in rent, or we need serious tax cuts.

And that points out another problem: people have the idea that they have seriously lost quality of life in the past 10 years. I think they're right in most respects, from housing to medical care to pensions, but of course it's more nuanced than just that. People want a big change in politics everywhere, it's just that that mostly means different things in different countries (although extreme-right is profiting everywhere). I'm kind of afraid of extreme-right getting an outright majority in a big European country in the next set of elections.

Wherever this goes, it doesn't seem like it's much a Brexit problem.

When drinking particularly acid drinks, juice, soda, etc., a straw significantly reduces the amount of erosion of your teeth.
pages 156-158:

“Ironically, when Aristarchus proposed the heliocentric model, his contemporaries dismissed it, on the grounds that they did not observe any parallax effects...”

“ so the heliocentric model would have implied that the stars were an absurdly large distance away.”

“[Which, of course, they are.]”
Sounds like it’s way better than 60% a little less than a decade ago.
Is it idiotic to punch nazis now?
Many of the drinks that would come with such straws are consumed in moving vehicles.

In such an environment, sipping from a straw tends to work significantly better than drinking from the rim of a tilted, open-topped cup.

While smaller drinks might use a lid with a small gap in it, that just isn't a practical option for larger drinks.
