Maybe I'm a little jaded by how the app economy works nowadays, but I find it almost suspicious how fast development seems and how well supported Organic Maps is. At least the high level of quality is explained by the fact that the lead developers seem to be the founders of the original maps.me.
> The Budapest Memorandum was annulled when one of its signatories blatantly violated its first clause in early 2014 (if not earlier).

> ...and Russia annexed Crimea in response.

Ah yes it's not because Russia invaded and annexed Crimea at gun point that was the violation of the Budapest Memorandum im sure it's something else that you'll come up with that makes it 'annulled'. Something that makes it someone else's fault and not the person holding the guns to peoples heads.

I presume you think that Ukraine deserves its nuclear weapons and long range bombers back from Russia, considering the agreement was 'annulled'?.
If it hasn't been used much/talked about much for this purpose then you wouldn't expect it to, right?
Importing GPX tracks and displaying it on the map. For my bike trips I do my planning in advance on a computer using brouter or openrouteservice, then import the created file into OSMAnd.
The UK originally considered using 111, but there were problems in that on windy days, trees etc brushing the lines could generate momentary disconnections = a pulse = digit 1. So false calls.

999 was choosen because it was easy to find the number 9 on the dial in the dark.
000 makes lot of sense to me. It is the last digit available, so it can be quickly dialled.

> - You don't send the user code they don't need yet. If someone is viewing a page that doesn't have a widget, but you send them the code for the widget because you've bundled everything the site needs into one JS file, you've wasted the users time and bandwidth. SSR is a very easy way to solve that problem.

Just saying: the generated HTML could be a lot larger than the Javascript generating it. Usually it won't be, but it's not a given that sending the HTML is less bandwidth.

It's true, academic institutions are quite good at selling their prestige to donors (honorary titles, etc.)

So probably he could do this most easily by donating a pile of money to an institution who employs someone with a suitably low number, who then paper-collaborates with the rich donor.

Nobody loses face in such a coordinated sell-out. The mathematician did it because it got the math department a $100 million grant. The rich guy is now a recognized patron of the noble science. The university administrators are pleased that they can direct their fundraising efforts elsewhere.

And eventually the rich guy's son gets to use this as a talking point to highlight how he's probably inherited some of the family genius: "My father was actually quite an accomplished mathematician too" — nobody remembers or cares 30 years later how it actually went down.

The web browser is both a critical UI technology - it's the only working truly cross platform sandbox - and therefore a battlefield between potential monopolists that has stagnated like a WW1 field of trenches and wire.

Because only the tiniest, most incremental changes can be made to the browsers, and because there are fundamental native/universality conflicts all the time, making tiny improvements to UX requires huge behind the scenes troop movements. And then it's subjective, so maybe it just makes the UX worse in the end.

UI frameworks seem to be surprisingly hard conceptually. Neither Microsoft nor Apple have really proven that they can do better when on a field entirely under their control.

Not to mention business model considerations, such as the worsening of Reddit.

> The cattle industry is the lowest hanging fruit in reducing greenhouse emissions.

Citation needed.

This is a recurring meme in online discussion and I am honestly a bit aggravated by this. I am all for curbing the slaughter industry for the ethical aspect of animal suffering but the argument for ecological reasons seems like something introduced in public discourse to create distraction.

For example fugitive methane emissions from oil wells, pipelines, and coal pits, account for 5.8 % of GHG (This is also I suspect largely underreported). In contrast Livestock emissions and Manure/Fertilizer related emissions are also 5.8%. [0]

Please explain how it will be easier to stop Farmers in remote parts of Brazil and Argentina from raising cattle versus forcing billion dollar companies to sequester methane at extraction sites in US/Canada/Gulf countries?

In fact let's take it further if we look at the GHG emissions of:

- Iron/Steel Industry (7.2%)

- Cement Industry (3%)

- Fugitive methane emissions from Oil/Gas/Coal (5.8%)

- Petrochemical industry/refinement (3.6%)

These 4x GHG sources alone produce more GHG emissions than our _entire_ Agricultural activity (Plants + Livestock) including deforestation and crop burning. [0]

Our governments/regulators are failing us. We expect a 180 change from developing countries when entire billion dollar industries are idle in jurisdictions where we actually have a saying. As much as I agree with it for Animal welfare, in my view, Beef as an ecological battle _is_ a distraction.

I don't think you're quite right. "Carrier" is absolutely a mathematical term, referring to the set of elements of a group, as opposed to the group operation. That is, a group is defined as a binary operation satisfying the group axioms, on the elements of a certain carrier set.

For those unfamiliar with groups, one way to comprehend groups (by the Cayley theorem) is to essentially imagine groups to be sets of permutations (and in this case, the Carrier set would be the set of permutations, with the group operation being composition of permutations).

I'm not sure I'm any convinced by your argument of the collection of all groups being a group either, and whether that was what was referred to by the author. In any case, I don't think that follows the usual form of the Russell's paradox or Girard's paradox. I'm fairly certain that the "warning light" that the author mentions in relation to the set of all groups is about the set being too large to be consistently considered a set, rather than anything circularly related to groups.

> Why do we still bother with crypto when close to nobody uses it for any legitimate purpose?

In Europe, some shops in tourist-heavy capital areas accept foreign currency.

It's generally not a thing, but if enough of your customers come in with something that you know you can eventually convert back into your own currency, you're a fool if you don't accomodate your customers.

Kagi happens to be a privacy-aware online service, and so they have a proportionally larger amount of customers who want to pay with internet money.

I really don't see how you can get offended about that.

This is literally one of those legitimate purposes.

People want that back, but they also like React, and their existing component libraries, and they want to generate the backend pages with React. It's not that strange.

And you can (I think) pretty seamlessly have part of the page rendered on the server, and parts still function on the client.

I daily drive nushell - combined with wezterm it's great for a completely cross-platform setup. There are definitely usability and stability issues though, to the point where I wouldn't yet recommend it to anyone who isn't ready for some pain. I've had lost data issues from buggy 'mv' for example, basic things like '&&' or '||' not working, etc. I avoid ever updating because I need to spend an hour or so fixing scripts. But the trade-off is that you get really nice error messages and working with structured data can be a breath of fresh air. Once it hits 1.0 I think it'll be an easy choice over existing traditional shells.

It does make me wonder though - at what point does it make more sense to just add some shell-like commands and functionality to a typed language's REPL? I played around with this idea using F# and FSI. The composition (|> instead of |) maps pretty directly and you get the benefit of types but in a more sane language (sorry nushell). You'd just need to add a 'cd' to mutate pwd state, pull in FAKE core and alias the most common shell operations.

Correct

But this is only for the US, for example the German TOS is very short and does not state that and is only for the Website and Remote Services. I think that each app (or at least some subgroups of products) has/have its on TOS

track recording
In John Calhoun's mouse utopia universe 25 experiments, overpopulation inevitably leads to implosion characterized by asocial, juvenile behavior and inability to bond, and there was never any rebound.
The ability to import a gpx track, for instance.
OsmAnd+ installed from FDroid is 100% free AFAIK.
"Calhoun had been running similar experiments with rodents for decades but had always had to end them prematurely, ironically because of laboratory space constraints, says Edmund Ramsden, a science historian at Queen Mary University of London. This iteration, dubbed Universe 25, was the first crowding experiment he ran to completion.

As he had anticipated, the utopia became hellish nearly a year in when the population density began to peak, and then population growth abruptly and dramatically slowed. Animals became increasingly violent, developed abnormal sexual behaviors, and began neglecting or even attacking their own pups. Calhoun termed this breakdown of social order a “behavioral sink.”

Eventually Universe 25 took another disturbing turn. Mice born into the chaos couldn’t form normal social bonds or engage in complex social behaviors such as courtship, mating, and pup-rearing. Instead of interacting with their peers, males compulsively groomed themselves; females stopped getting pregnant. Effectively, says Ramsden, they became “trapped in an infantile state of early development,” even when removed from Universe 25 and introduced to “normal” mice. Ultimately, the colony died out. “There’s no recovery, and that’s what was so shocking to [Calhoun],” says Ramsden."

Show HN: ragapi – an API for using LLMs on your own data
Feel free to drop your email if you’re interested!

For context: As we talked with developers and product builders we noticed a common need for customising LLMs on their own data through fine-tuning (Retrieval Augmented Generation mainly, but some-times actual fine-tuning). Models like GPT, Claude and Llama2 have great reasoning capabilities but may not perform optimally for specific use cases where relevant information from knowledge sources is needed.

As we looked how this is done today it requires mastering a bunch of things from data retrieval, configuring vector DBs, data enrichement using embedding and ensuring things work not only for a few documents but for large amounts of data.

We're building ragapi to manage all this heavy lifting so you can focus on building the rest of the (i.e use case related things).
I can get OsmAnd~ from FDroid for free.
It would be a whole lot better if people on HN spend their time reading news and garnering information rather than vomiting their half-baked knowledge and immaturely formed opinions on issues they have no idea about.

Or maybe sitting in your netflix-watching chair looking at your netflix-watching screen just doesn't put you in the right mindset.

My understanding of 999 was in order to stop accidental signalling of the intent to dial the emergency number by way of noise on the line being intepreted as dial click, which this article on BBC news seems to corroborate [1].

Having said that, that doesn't really then line up with 112 for mainland European countries, unless that is a relatively modern occurrence and they historically had different emergency numbers?

This has been my objection to Microsoft's maze-like privacy policies for a long time.

I once asked - on another forum and before the recent "AI" coding assistants were widely available - whether Microsoft's privacy policy allowed them to upload and do things with your own code if you used VS Code with telemetry enabled.

At the time I was downvoted to invisibility and told I was being silly. But not one person showed me anywhere in Microsoft's terms or privacy policy wording that limited the scope of the data processing clearly and transparently to exclude that kind of thing.

Today there's a bit of an obsession with training ML models using any large data set available and perhaps my caution from yesteryear wouldn't look so silly to the critics now.
