Vlad from Kagi here, thanks for posting. The RSS feed unexpectedly broke (edit: the feed is back up! [3]) just as we published the blog post, in the true spirt of "small web" :) Should be up in 30 minutes which will enable the site to function too (it uses the same feed).

This has been a personal pet project of mine and I spent considerable time getting my hands dirty with the code, as the team was busy with other initiatives. When I said the "feed broke" for the launch I meant I broke it. Software is messy especially for an old school dev. I learned in the process I am not a very good coder anymore (if I ever was one?), constantly going back and fixing stuff I previously thought was solid. Check it out in the linked repo [1].

Most importantly - I found the site replace the need for discovery for me, and getting to know various different humans and their writing felt good! A lot of unexpected stuff surfaced and the web felt close again. I think there is a glimpse of hope in the concept and I hope you see it too. And the improvements to search quality and diversity this brings are real.

You can check the list of included websites here [2]. And all the recent posts already surface in Kagi results (for relevant queries).

The best research I've seen on this is the paper "On the Prehistory of QWERTY" [1] which has a great figure on the fourth page with the presumable original prototype showing all the consonants wrapping around alphabetically and the vowels on the top row.

No shit. What's next? PR firms pay reddit power users to push ads and propaganda on the subs they control?

If PR firms can pay the nytimes to sell war, surely they are capable of buying a few positive reviews for movies.

Yelp is the last straw for me. If yelp reviews are found to be bought and sold, I'll lose all faith in social media and the reviews ecosystem. If we can't trust yelp, then who can we trust?

I think https://lichess.org is wonderful and always bring it up as an example of a great UI
RT is an industry shill site, fine.

Worse is that Web Search Engines promote it as authoritative gospel.
Paid reviews are legal in most of the world. In most of the world you don't even need to disclose that it is paid.
> Being humbled isn't a bad thing. I grew in Germany and until I moved to Asia, I actually thought that most of everything that has a name that can remotely be pronounced in a German fashion was in fact German.

I had a kind of funny example of that, a Chinese student named Weiman buying a cart full of Weiman brand cleaning products. Pronounced totally different.
If you are taking about the new Huawei phone the theory is that it’s just repurposed Kirin 9000 chips hoarded before the sanctions and not a custom design. So basically a propagada performance. I guess someone will get hold of a phone and tear it down eventually.
>- There are no ads

Seems a bit disingenuous when the content purely is advertisements.

I agree that Craigslist is a unique asset and a worthwhile service and ultimately a well designed website.
Why do you need to finish a project? Is not finishing a project considered "a failure"?

I have 100's of projects too I never finished but they typically morph into something else or I realize it was a bad idea. I think not having that would mean failure and it seems these true failures are rare.
Unless they stole something proprietary, you don't really have many options beyond doing your product better than them.
> they now have 5.5GW of battery backup capacity that covers the critical period at dusk, when solar generation is headed for zero, during late summer where the days are getting shorter but it is still hot

Am I supposed to interpret "covers critical period at dusk..." as the "hours" part of 5.5GW? Because I'm having trouble grokking what is the actual battery backup capacity described here... Does CA have battery capacity that can last a single evening @ 5.5GW of load?
You're just going to put yourself in a bad spot chasing comments around online.

YOU are not going down that path.

But investors are now the ones shaping the paths.

Arduino is hardly the first company to take on VC money. Everyone here is intimately familiar with how it always plays out, and the dynamics that will force around even the most pure hearted leader.

It's best not to say anything, you are only going to look foolish trying to explain to a bunch of veteran tech heads how "This time its different!".
That a goal. Equating it to a logical fallacy is meaningless noise.

(Personally, I'm not sure how much it's an actionable or desirable goal. But it's a goal.)
Thanks. I have been hugely disappointed by the state of OpenAPI tools.
Point taken :)

It appears that spray paint is still illegal to sell in Chicago - obviously nobody has it. Right?

That makes much more sense, thanks. I'm guilty of using this from time to time as well.

“Fun fact”, Texas grid came really close to (another) controlled shutdowns last night. We had about 1,200MW in operating reserves. https://www.ercot.com/news/release/2023-09-06-ercot-has-init...

Same is expected for tonight.
I, personally, want a moderated forum. Having been on 4chan and seeing gore randomly I don’t really have a problem with people setting rules to moderate that out. There’s nothing conspiratorial involving NGOs (what??) about it.
Depends on what you mean by 'well'. That's the point. YMMV.
Creating Impact with Research Ops
I can’t tell if you’re agreeing with me, disagreeing with me, or both. Or neither.

Mind clarifying?
I think the best "TUI" I used was the Bloomberg Terminal.

The command box, and being able to reach any function with 4 chars, was the best part imho. I grant it's not a true TUI, as they do pixel level rendering, but the keyboard driven experience and aesthetic certainly makes it a contender
Underpopulated? Did the environmental movement flip in Canada, and they're now trying to get rid of their vast, pristine wilderness? The Canadian people are crying out to turn their forests into Hong Kong?

It is a name that comes from the New Testament of the Bible. It might be that Christianity is not really your thing, that's ok. As long as you can use it to make life better for your colleagues, call it whatever you need to. :)
Oh, it can be done.

The simple solution is to implement an encryption algorithm with a back door, and only allow that method of E2E encryption. Presto, problem solved.

I suggest 'clipper' as a name for this new encryption.
Probably given the same OS ran on a 68030. Maybe it was a 68040, it was a long time ago.

Sure there will have been changes and bloat over the years.
No.

I recently tested exactly this use case, with iPhone apps 3D Scanner, Polycam and magicplan.

The results were, how do I put it nicely, not very useful.

For example, the floor wasn't even flat/straight! One would think this would be a basic constraint (or “inductive bias”) of the algorithm…

I haven’t tested Luma yet; also my example wasn't literally the most basic one (square empty room), instead there was some clutter on the floor, irregularly shaped room, a chair in the middle of the room, and open doors.
Yeah. At its root, all of this only matters because it makes people feel like they own more of the company than they actually do. People work hard and care when they feel like they own the product of their labor - the actual product, not just cash compensation for rendering their services.

When people feel alienated from the product of their labor, that's what feels demotivating.

So obviously in a capitalist system, the solution is to try to make people feel as much like owners as possible without actually giving them ownership in the only way that actually matters in a capitalist framework - in equity in the company.
I'm sure having it spelled out verbatim in an article online helped cut the emails per second down ;)
That's even worse. The issue is not that you have the bytes, it's that users see the content on your site. The less control you have the more difficult it would be to meet legal obligations surrounding user generated content.

The deal made years ago in law in the US (and followed around the world) is that websites are not liable for the user generated content that they make available, as long as they remove it if requested for legitimate reasons. These two components go hand in hand. If a website is unable to remove content, it's effectively liable for that content. This basically breaks the web as we know it today.
Should they sell VPN services to North Korea? What might the reasons be on the "no" side?
Python is generally just the glue language for underlying, highly optimized c++ libs. The improvements aren't just about languages. I would imagine facebook is less focused on inference, so didn't bother to make a highly optimized LLM inference engine. There also just isn't a business case for CPU-bound LLMs at an enterprise scale, so why code for that? Additionally, llama.cpp can be called by python and python could still do all the glue.

There is no language war. Use whatever tool is necessary to achieve effective results for accomplishing the mission.
True, which is to say they are a competitor with alternate toolchains

If I get a board with an Arm0 chip and want to flash it with micropython, Arduino is not the only game in town (not even my first choice by a long shot, ymmv)

With the lower power AVR chips, Arduino's only competitor was the project it was forked from, Wiring - any other embedded toolchains were not even trying to reach the casual hobbyist, the Arduino IDE dominates that niche.
Agreed; I knew there was something wrong with "ancestor" when I typed it.

[Edit] A progenitor is literally an ancestor; I answered GP's question. It's "progenitor" that should instead be "precursor", in the featured article.
> It turns out the "point and click and get a working IoT product" tends to outcompete hiring a professional embedded coder to spend months to make something bespoke from scratch.

Setting up an embedded toolchain and development/debug workflow from scratch is so tedious. No wonder Arduino (and Micropython) has had so much success. I write Micropython for flight controllers in the High Power Rocketry hobby. I get a lot of snide remarks from the other people doing embedded coding but my stuff runs just fine and i can get to a blinking LED (the helloworld of embedded) on a new board in ..seconds typically.
Ask HN: Can you share your experience making a physical electronic product?
I'm specifically wondering about experiences people have had making physical electronic products about the size of a doorbell camera that involves a bit of circuitry, but on the scale of a gofundme/kickstarter campaign (maybe 100-1k products).

If you have such experiences, could you also share the financial considerations of developing such a product.
4-bit quantized 180B will not fit in 64GB. You'll need need over 100 GB for that.
From reading both of your comments it looks like you are saying that people who use [Visual Studio (not Code), JetBrains, Photoshop, AutoCAD, Blender, every single tool for circuit simulation and FPGA programming] fall into the category "general consumer" but people who use vim fall into the category "professional". That's not how I would distinguish professionals from general consumers.
I'm a little sad this article doesn't mention AOLserver:

A whole article on servant leadership without any mention of it's origin (The Military) is just bizarre

but Oprah?! the person who just pledged $20m of her own money to help Hawaii (turns out it was $20m from the general public)

I'm not sure I'd recommend a book but if I had to you couldn't go wrong with this: https://shop.sandhursttrust.org/products/book-serve-to-lead?...

But ultimately it's not about book learning, it's living by example, "having your compass point true north" as my Commanding Officer at Old College, Sandhurst would say. Or another of his favourites "Do not what you want to, but what you ought to"
Lucid Wants to Sell a $50k EV by 2030: CEO
It sucks, but the only thing to do is kick ass in the field. The more successful you are, the more companies will copy you. We had companies with 30 or even 100 people hard pivot into an exact clone of our company when it was clear we had traction. We just have to keep out executing
Serena Consumer unwraps her ethnic food staple and inspects it carefully. It's a weather day in Top 50 city, and the Food Outlet on Memorable Street is part of the thriving the Ethnic community there. Since the first Ethnics arrived in top 50 City following Historical event, the community has grown to Big Number - and their love of ethnic food staple has proved a hit. There are now impressive total food staple stores across the US, with just under half of them in Top 50 City.

'The color is good. It smells great,' comments Serena. Ethnic food staple is a mix of this, that, and the other commonly available ingredient, with a small bit of unusual thing that gives it the distinctive flavor that aficionados like Serena can't get enough of. Serena remembers eating them as a child: 'a member of my family unit would procure them under a distinctive set of social conditions. I always remember the taste of the food staple as I put it in my mouth, and I still associate it with happy times in my family unit.'

When Ethnic group members first arrived in the US, they wanted a taste of home. But ingredients that they bought and made one way in Distant Land weren't so easy to find in their new home. So they adapted. Food staple has stayed true to its roots, but with a surprising new twist. And even traditional cooks in Distant Land are taking notice.

Serena takes a bite of her food staple and closes her eyes in quiet ecstasy.

One way to void this is for RT to give you a custom score for each movie of how much you will like it.

They would generate that score by looking at other things you have rated, finding ~100 other users who have voted similarly to you, and then showing the scores that those other users thought of each movie you are thinking of watching.

This is much harder to bot, since you will only see the botted scores if you yourself vote like a bot.
That's not a capacity issue though, that's your local delivery company having issues. Delivery companies pretty much are still the older style highly regulated utilities. Its an entirely different problem with different incentives than what the above posters were talking about.

Building even 100GW of additional capacity in the state or additional transmission capacity for solar out in the middle of nowhere won't solve the problems your neighbors are facing. Complaining about ERCOT isn't solving the problem, its not ERCOT's role to handle that section. Hold your local delivery provider responsible.

I'd be interested in knowing who that delivery company is if you wouldn't mind sharing.

Typo or Freudian slip?
Actually Korean industry experts expect that SMIC will probably be able to create 3nm and 5nm without access to EUV[1] machines. This guy claims that 7nm is the last feasible node with DUV only[2], but what does China care about the infeasibility of the node? They have over a billion people produce an order of magnitude more engineers per year than we do and print their own money.

DUV is blocked through sanctions as well. Please don't make misleading claims. The ban also goes way beyond just lithography and includes a lot of other tooling. On top of that the sanctions seem to have been extended to not only block access to the machines but also to after purchase servicing, which actually led China to threaten ASML to buy back the machines should that be the case.

And yes TSMC was indeed producing 7nm using DUV before using EUV, but that doesn't mean that our wonderfully talented politicians and think tanks understand any of that given that just last year these geniuses were gloating that the export controls would throw back Chinas access to advanced chips decades.

Is it? There’s not nearly enough information to tell.

Austin Energy appears to charge about 10 cents/kWh (interestingly, it’s comparable across all service classes if I read the tariff sheet right). They pay up to $80/kW saved on average (across all events, I think) [0], I think annually. The webpage is vague. So Austin Energy is effectively paying $80/kW/year of capacity available on 10 minutes notice.

1 kW for a whole year is 8766 kWh, which would cost about $876. And you need to actually be using that kW to resell it as average demand response, so this program is about a 10% discount for being willing to shut down on 10 minutes notice. Or alternatively, you get 10% off in exchange for reducing your SLA a bit :)

Hate bitcoin miners all you like, but the actual payment seems quite reasonable.

In the old days I trusted Siskel and Ebert for movie reviews the way I now trust guys like Project Farm and Jeff Geerling for product reviews.

We are born with pretty good 1:1 bullshit detectors, and exceptionally credible people easily earn my trust. Aggregated review platforms like rotten tomatoes and Amazon are just garbage.
I hadn't looked into JsonPath as a standard, and on closer inspection, it looks to be stalled out. Maybe I'll keep piping kubectl get <resource> -ojson | jq '<what I'm looking for>'.

The examples appear to knowledge retrieval and factoids only.

The concept appears to be large scale chain of thought and automatic prompt generate and fine tuning… but there don’t appear to be actual examples of this.
This seems like a really smart move.

Can anyone comment on whether it's possible to use something like NextDNS in conjunction with Tailscale and Mullvad?

Edit: to clarify, I'm aware of the existing NextDNS integration with Tailscale - I was wondering if this (or other third party DNS) works specifically with these new Mullvad exit nodes...
I would recommend Turn the Ship Around! by David Marquet, former submarine captain who effected a significant turnaround on their nuclear submarine. He empowered his chiefs to take more ownership and responsibility and the rest of the crew. I think it reflects more realistically how things go and I really appreciate his side comments at getting pissed off at subordinates and the allure of being the "captain in charge giving orders". He also mentions the need for technical competence and also clear direction from leadership for this to work.
Since I've got you, allow me to apologize for all the knee-jerk cynics in this thread. I trust you will continue to ship great product and that your incentives will remain aligned with those of your users.

Just pinky promise me that you won't make Arduino IDE a subscription :)
Even a gym subscription is a startup that will probably fail.

Almost everything new is hard.
Have you discussed this with your VCs? Which methods of maximizing revenue have they agreed you will be leaving on the table in perpetuity?

What will happen if you don't make the returns they expect? Do you have a controlling share, or is it possible for them to fire you and replace you with a more compliant CEO?

This sort of thing tends to be a collaboration, until the growth doesn't meet expectations.
Definition of working out would be the pension costs are still a reasonable and manageable cost as compared to e.g. payroll or the budget.

City bankruptcies do occur, I'd argue that blaming pensions is just a scapegoat, but hey, that's me. I haven't looked into Detroit's books, much less Chester PA, Detroit city limits population right now is sub-1920 levels and around 1/3 of where it was in 1950. Such a change would put enormous stress on the finances of any large city, pension or no.
Learned, but completely forgot about this. What remained was a vague suspicion that perhaps the benefits of clear type separation that would be lost by using a plain string might not necessarily be worth it. (and then you eventually start rolling your own and then one day someone goes wild with the allowed characters liberties within the username:password prefix...)

To sum things up: never ever use java.net.URL, it's a bad http client and it's worse at everything else you might expect it to be.

Ask HN: Why doesn’t Starlink support the eastern US?
https://www.starlink.com/map

My family lives in rural NC outside Raleigh and can only get DSL. I’ve been trying to use coscreen and other tools to help my mom but the experience is obviously garbage. They can’t really use FaceTime or zoom, or other tools. I ask every now and then “why don’t you use Starlink,” which is what they used when they lived in rural California outside Yosemite, and they say it’s not available. Today I was doubtful so I looked it up and was stunned to see a very clear carve out for the eastern United States from around Houston to Wichita to the coast as the only part of the world that is waitlisted. They could get service on Machu Picchu but not outside Raleigh.

What gives?
High growth in demand due to increasing temperatures. This summer is likely exceptional, due to El Nino, but it won't be the last one, and the base temperature will continue to rise due to climate change.

So this was foreseeable, but unforeseen because they didn't wish to. And it will continue to happen, and worse.
I try :)

I know this is written for the investors, but it makes your potential professional customers feel a little sick.
Ever since I discovered that some reviews used in rotten tomatoes are unscripted YouTube videos, in the sense that the reviewer just talks about a movie however their thoughts lead them without any organization, I stopped paying attention to rotten tomato scores. I am sure a lot of people prefer a video review to a carefully written and edited nytimes review (as an actual article), but that's not for me.
Pretty much all of this has been public knowledge for a decade, or even longer.

The technology behind EUV is quite simple on paper, the hard part is getting it to work reliably. It would take you years to reverse engineer it even if you had unlimited physical access to a working machine, and all the truly secret sauce is in all the measurement and calibration equipment around it.
If websites made a concerted effort to train their users to not "remember passwords", this could eventually be solved.

Human brains are not designed to remember:

* Passwords that aren't reused across the many dozens/hundreds of logins a person typically has
* Passwords that aren't easily guessed phrases including substrings of personal information (birthdays, children's names, etc)
* Long and strongly random

Yet good passwords need to be all of those. Christ, if websites just included a little "have you considered using a password manager?" link on the registration page. Tragedy of the commons I guess... everyone wants other companies to do the hard work of convincing a few percent per year to use them. We'll still be dicking around with this bullshit 30 years from now though.

The problem is easy. The work of implementing it is difficult and slow. Let someone else do it.
