Show HN: Metallic Loading Spinners
Given the fact that the current state of LLMs is very new, the meaty problems are mostly technical. Although there is scope for "translating tech to business," doing it at scale is challenging. Most solutions you see would fail at scale; they are good, in fact, really good, at POCs or on a small level. By definition, you need a dedicated PM or a business guy in a tech ecosystem when it has matured a bit. Right now, hackers can wear the hat of a business/PM guy, and it would be good to go.

For you, I'd suggest starting to write about "taking this tech to business." Use that as your POV to attract tech folks to your side and write more "microscope-telescope" type content. This could earn you more street cred and land you a good consulting gig.
Low taxes means low public investment per capita and worse public transport.

Surprise, more traffic.

It is a trade off when you can choose either side.
Future diets will be short of micronutrients like iron. How will we adapt?
You can't eliminate jobs to make up loss without risk. Fire middle management before firing engineers.
Well there was the time Facebook changed its name to Meta... oh wait... that's probably a bad example.
You might counter that modern farms have massive hidden internal costs in depreciation of soil quality, with long term yields being suppressed, and vulnerability to drought massively raised.

Hence these better farms should do much better on financing costs.
This is interesting. Not only giving you exposure to how things work, but also encouraging awareness of things easily taken for granted.
Most of that incoming heat is reflected / radiated off actually. It doesn't "stay" on Earth.

It may be more profitable to use the compute for LLMs or other GPU dependent AI than crypto mining. The downside is that there is no way to verify the client isn't returning random or bad data.
Interesting read. Thanks for sharing!

This was created a year ago and Crates.io haven't taken it down so I assume they're ok with it.
Do you ride a horse to the grocery store?
Interestingly... in the UK... they did something similar to the DSL Provider / ISP split we did here in the states. So you could order cable service from one company and layer 3 from a completely different company. People tell me it's done wonders for competition there.
Hm, I can't say I've ever wanted to convert to paper formatting; it's almost always wanting to convert from paper formatting, so that I can better read papers on my e-reader or such. What are you using this for?
I really hope someone had a sense of humor and made that oscilloscope beep on detecting a connection.
>> Almost no one actually does this

More to the point, none of the few nutjobs who insist on doing this has ever actually carried out a mass shooting. At least not to my knowledge. Generally, if you find yourself around someone who's carrying openly, you can be sure you're less likely to be shot than you would be just walking around a random mall by yourself.
Yeah but did they have faulty broadband?
Magic: the Gathering. I personally know dozens (hundreds, probably) of people who started playing 20+ years ago and are still playing today.
I'm getting started with ZFS just now. The learning curve is steeper than I expected. I would love to have a dumbed down wrapper that made the common case dead-simple. For example:

- Use sane defaults for pool creation. ashift=12, lz4 compression, xattr=sa, acltype=posixacl, and atime=off. Don't even ask me.

- Make encryption just on or off instead of offering five or six options

- Generate the encryption key for me, set up the systemd service to decrypt the pool at start up, and prompt me to back up the key somewhere

- `zfs list` should show if a dataset is mounted or not, if it is encrypted or not, and if the encryption key is loaded or not

- No recursive datasets and use {pool}:{dataset} instead of {pool}/{dataset} to maintain a clear distinction between pools and datasets.

- Don't make me name pools or snapshots. Assign pools the name {hostname}-[A-Z]. Name snapshots {pool name}_{datetime created} and give them numerical shortcuts so I never have to type that all out

- Don't make me type disk IDs when creating pools. Store metadata on the disk so ZFS doesn't get confused if I set up a pool with `/dev/sda` and `/dev/sdb` references and then shuffle around the drives

- Always use `pv` to show progress

- Automatically set up weekly scrubs

- Automatically set up hourly/daily/weekly/monthly snapshots and snapshot pruning

- If I send to a disk without a pool, ask for confirmation and then create a new single disk pool for me with the same settings as on the sending pool

- collapse `zpool` and `zfs` into a single command

- Automatically use `--raw` when sending encrypted datasets, default to `--replicate` when sending, and use `-I` whenever possible when sending

- Provide an obvious way to mount and navigate a snapshot dataset instead of hiding the snapshot filesystem in a hidden directory

>Why does it matter that someone slapped a fake Apple logo on it?

It's a dis-incentive to investment. If society allowed the fakes then the market would be overrun by copies and in this instance Apple wouldn't have had the resources to create the Mac.
Yeah! Can’t eat it without Kai Dao!
I found

cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90_zsys_system_autosnapshot
// Takes a snapshot of the system before package changes.
DPkg::Pre-Invoke {"[ -x /usr/libexec/zsys-system-autosnapshot ] && /usr/libexec/zsys-system-autosnapshot snapshot || true";};

// Update our bootloader to list the new snapshot after the update is done to not block the critical path
DPkg::Post-Invoke {"[ -x /usr/libexec/zsys-system-autosnapshot ] && /usr/libexec/zsys-system-autosnapshot update-menu || true";};

but how would I get this to not snapshot , say /home/Downloads ..
make that its own zpool?
Love the idea.

Plenty of personal open source projects I've wanted to attempt writing a more scientific explanation of.

Unfortunately vibration-induced Raynaud's syndrome has no cure, so it may be continuing to affect you.

I also have Raynaud's which affects me when cycling or when using an outboard throttle for extended periods. Apart from hand exercises which delays onset of symptoms, there's apparently nothing to be done.

Hm, why is that safer?
In hindsight, it takes a special kind of teacher to go through the effort of organizing these trip. Only later I heard that this head master funded it out of pocket since he could not take everyone on the excursions.

I think this is called masochist. Now, if you participated in writing the spec or were making others read it...
I had a nerve conduction test on my arm, it was pretty neat! I didn't find it uncomfortable, just a bit of a tingle.

My issue was a combination of a previous shoulder injury and bad sleeping position and bad sitting at desk position (resting forearm on the edge) that would result in numbness in my hand and fingers.

I'm more conscious of how I sit and sleep now (as much as you can be "conscious" of how you sleep!) and I started indoor rock climbing which has really transformed my upper body in terms of arm, shoulder and back strength and mobility. Funny, I don't look any different, but I can hold onto and hang off things well good. :P

Which brand? What is the "tang" of a seatbelt? It us hard for me to imagine a seatbelt buckle actually getting into a holster, but I would like to learn more about this.
The UK has car factories and produced 775k cars last year. But 99% of the production is by foreign-owned companies (BMW, Nissan, Honda, etc).

The problem Europe has with EVs is that the local manufacturers were slow and late while, say, Chinese ones bet it all on EV quite early and China especially bet early on batteries. Today even the Tesla gigafactory in Berlin uses some Chinese batteries (BYD).

Maybe so, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to Hacker News.

I'm wondering, is Bash/Shell a DSL?

You can do anything with it because it allows launching other programs, but I'd say it was designed specifically for the domain of launching other programs and building data pipelines with their in- and outputs.
I heard the same about dolphins few years ago but alas I cannot source scientifical evidences yet.

I heard also that while the major part of our brain is dealing with semantics, dolphins brain is dealing with acoustics; some kind of study was sourced in the radiophonic show I was listening which was telling about the different eras of brain growth in the history of humans and dolphins, trying to find some comparison points to better explain how similar cerebral masses could be specialized into different operations and a lot of different things I don't remember.
Thanks for sharing the link! Will check it out. I am curious about digging into how this type of site visits could be more streamlined for teachers that don’t have the time or resources to organize it.
I've always had the impression that they run on huge room sized mainframes in the bowels of banks and airline infrastructure but I have no idea how accurate that is today.
In germany, you can own a gun for sport or hunting. However, you are not legally allowed to carry it with you, except when going to and from that activity. It's also not a "walk into a store and buy one" situation, but if you want a gun, you can certainly still get one.
I work at a place where they use this for running legacy, but quite profitable, trading and payment systems. These were ported from both AS400 and mainframe alike and currently run on Microfocus on regular windows VMs on our internal cloud platform.

The most delicious Thai meal (with Chinese origins) is in my opinion Kaow Soi Gai. Don’t think it’s easy to get in the Western world at Thai restaurants. Perhaps more of a Northern Thai food.
Some small PDF files are saved as uncompressed text. Invoices are a typical example.

This means that we can open those files, read them as one single string and match the expected text in unit tests. I've got a few projects doing that and it was fine.

If the text is compressed, pipe its content to qpdf first.
Thanks. This is one of those cases where the article is more interesting than its title.

I've taken a crack at revising the title, though not a very good crack - it's better to use language from the article itself and I didn't do that in this case. If anyone wants to comb through the article and find a representative phrase that would be more suitable, we'll happily edit it again.
I used to only order pad thai, but found they vary so much place to place there's a 50/50 shot I'll hate it. Some smother with cilantro, and I'm on of those weird anti cilantro people. Some use a peanut sauce. Some use crushed peanuts. Some use whole nuts. Just to name a few variables. I think the worst I had was just rice noodles, cilantro, whole nut pieces, and egg pieces. And that was all.

Anymore I find drunken noodles(Thai spicy) pretty reliable. I have no idea if it's even an authentic dish, but it seems more consistent.

So the root cause is incompetence. They didn't have enough people and they didn't have a fully tested recovery plan, relying on assumptions and winging it.
A little punctuation or an extra word would do wonders for this title's legibility...

"Farms that create habitat - key to food security and biodiversity"

"Farms that create habitat, key to food security and biodiversity"

"Farms that create habitat are key to food security and biodiversity"
Yes, I think the in-person experience helps you process the context of the work environment better. What type of people work there, what a typical day may look like, sheer scale required to do certain stuff. I remember vividly how enormous the wind terminal seemed up close. And realizing someone had to get the thing on the pole - and asking how they did that.
In some ways, yes. Definitely not in all ways. Or even most. Otherwise "eastern" wouldn't be automatically connected to words like "pollution" and "counterfeit" and "territorialism" and "dictatorship" all at the same time.

Cherry picking for an article about "Eastern Culture" is pretty common, and this is a great example of it. But it is very, very far from a Utopian answer to the West. Surely vice-versa, too.

It's easy to write an article about superiority when you tightly focus on things that don't offend the rest. And I say that, twice acknowledging it's the same opinion is surely and solidly held in both directions.

Likewise, "cleanse the mind" while carelessly "destroying the environment" seems quite at odds.
That's what the stock market is about these days anyway, isn't it? Why invest in something useful, when you can just flip shares?
cool, but why is there an ubuntu logo representing the COBOL community?
I don't think such a thing exists in the US. If anything, California taxes you for every mile you drive via the highest gas taxes in the county (which in classic California fashion, hurts the poorest among us).
There weren't many "countries", per se. There are artifacts from most major empires but untold numbers of city-states, villages, and small-medium settlements are lost to time. There are some finds like Los Millares in the Eneolithic, but there isn't much left of mesolithic settlements apart from about a dozen examples. In terms of proof of political organization, that requires evidence like writing or inscriptions.

The photography version is the original. It was retold as ceramics in the book 'Art & Fear', because the authors (who were photographers themselves) were trying to appeal to a broader range of artists.

No wonder you had a poor experience. Distros that don't treat KDE as a first-class DE are well-known to have a generally poor KDE experience. Kubuntu is probably the worst KDE-focused distro, and you didn't even start with Kubuntu as a base.

I read up on that a year or two ago. Then it was mainly IBM mainframes running z/os.
We get it, you've found an area where a new open architecture (only 12 years old, only been making chips for 5 years) doesn't compete with a 50 year old proprietary architecture that is used by 95%+ of the machines around. It's like it is 1997 and Windows looks unstoppable, what could this silly Linux toy ever be useful for?
No, you can't: Gnome no longer has any working extensions; that's the whole point of the article.

So I've just spent some time looking into this - there are Cobol compilers that target JVM and .NET. GnuCOBOL compiles to C too.

Apparently 80% of all bank transactions and 95% of all ATM transactions in America are still running COBOL, as is the Social Security Administration and DoD's finance systems (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBs7HXI76yU)
I don't think there is a guarantee either way. My car was stolen, the people caught, and no charges filed.
This is an IBM promotional film from the early 1950s. It has color film of very early IBM electromechanical computing machines from as early as the 1920s. I've never seen those pictures before.

What you're seeing here is the history of cost-effective, mass produced computing machines. In early computing, there were two main lines of development - "scientific" and "business" computers. Most of the famous machines were on the "scientific" side, large, expensive machines produced in very small numbers, mostly for government-funded applications. This film mentions the forgotten other side, the early "business" computers.

Mass-produced and rented by IBM to commercial customers, these machines did the grunt work of accounting, payroll, and billing for large businesses from the 1920s to the 1960s. There were some scientific variants on these, and the film has the only moving images I've ever seen of J. Presper Eckert's special purpose machines at Columbia University. This color film was made years later, showing the real machines, preserved by IBM.

You can see the slow, steady progression of memory from cards, to tape, to electrostatic memory, to drums. At the end, they mention the future - transistors and core memory.
Thick gloves are ok but uncomfortable in hot weather - there are also ergonomic grips (eg from Ergon, SQLab) and gel pads that can be fitted over/under the grip tape that can be used instead. Also various ways to directly reduce handlebar vibrations (like the Cane Creek eeSilk stem).
So that's Poland and the UK that are special cases so far.

> Second, the nationality of the perpetrators is often masked in case it is a foreigner.

Ah, well, if we're going by nationality, I'm 6 for 6 - that last bloke with a Turkish surname was an ex-policeman, so I reckon he was probably a British national.

I think the random Google search is one up on a random internet denizen's unsourced opinion, to be honest. I kicked the tyres of your opinion with the most basic, cursory test and it came up short.
Don't discount the effects of damnatio memoriae. There have been quite famous men whose name was affixed to major monuments and streets, but having fallen out of favor or becoming quite notorious instead, their names are effaced from the public records, in order to rewrite a more genteel and positive history.

For example, my town recently completed a public campaign to rename anything that bore the name of a KKK member. Of course, the town was founded and built on top of Native American land by Freemasons, KKK, and Odd Fellows, but they don't count anymore.

Giant red flag not to trust anything this guy says, since he has zero clue.
I had one due to a bulging disc in my neck and some pins and needles - it was fascinating, but I still remember them turning on the audio and letting me listen to my nerves trying to flex various muscles! My biceps sounded like a bit like white noise (good), while my triceps sounded like a plastic bag flapping outside a car window (bad!) The way they explained it some subset of my tricep nerves were firing harder to try and compensate for the ones affected by the disc bulge - but they couldn’t keep up the firing rate by themselves. Really interesting and somewhat explained my mediocre push-up performance!
Thanks Reghardt! Sal dit uitcheck :-)

To be more precise in a few more words, the article makes two points:

* some papers rely on McEvedy and Jones’ Atlas of World Population History data as the ground truth, when a lot of it is the best educated guess (sometimes the guess is based on basically almost nothing).

* the difference between the "guessed" population and the real population (which do not observe) is not random, which would lead not only to less precise results but also to bias.
In that scenario you’d already be in normal mode, no? It’s likely OP’s mapping is only for editing modes.
