Yes, actually I would be more interested if this was more radical.
I have been to Japan 4 times already (last one was in February).

For the kind of travel I am interested in, renting 99% of my stuff at the arrival would be fine. But:

1) there are some things (e.g. contact lenses liquid, aikido uniform) who may not be included anyway because somehow of a "niche" requirement.

2) I still need to take back much more stuff than what I took with me on my incoming flight. Of course most of it could just be sent by post (and surface travel, i.e. by ship, would still be ok for most of it).

But until I get enough incentives to do it, I don't think I would make my life more complicated to save the equivalent of 7-10kg of cargo.

> I believe, in spirit, what he was referring to was the inordinate premium young people spend for conveniences.

And why shouldnt they? It's not like not spending that money would have allowed them to buy a home.

If rich people would have shared more, making things like buying a home possible, you would most definitely see more people skipping avocado toasts. But rich people fucked everyone over, so might as well go for the little things in life.
Honestly it probably has the opposite effect. I can imagine iPhone 12 owners upgrading because they think their current phone is unsafe.
This argument has been made for at least 10 years now and I don’t get it. No one is awed by a USB-C port, it’s just convenient.

Maybe it’s the fact that Apple has these giant events every year, that people think they’re going to get something revolutionary every year. Or maybe we were just spoiled that we lived through the 90s and 00s, but this is crazy talk. If revolutionary tech was released every year, what makes it revolutionary?

Thanks, to answer your other question (that I somehow missed). This project was with totally off the shelf components - it basically formed the back bone to my literature review as current state of the art.

However, the research group I was in was focussed on using silicon carbide devices for hostile environment sensors (think high temp gas sensors primarily) and looking at how to make FETs from SiC that could work in high temp/high radiation environments etc.

This is why my thesis and papers primarily focussed on testing energy harvesting devices at temperature - batteries won't work at 300degC and running power cables up and into a volcano fumarole is a tad awkward.

I had this feeling though that if I didn't get a room temperature, off the shelf components, system working I would have missed a key part of the learning - I just got lucky that the system was novel enough for a paper publication.

How is Spotify for finding new music based on your tastes? I’ve only used Amazon and Pandora; Amazon is quite poor, Pandora is pretty good. I suspect (although, without proof) that if a service can’t suggest new music, it will have trouble generating new music as well.

Anyway, I very much would rather run this sort of thing locally. You could just manually set your taste profile. Plus, music can be quite personal, imagine you start listening to too much music inspired by The Cure and suddenly Amazon starts advertising black makeup and antidepressants or something like that, it would be too disconcerting.

I find it funny that the "bad tech profiles" highlighted read just like the "good tech profiles" - the "good" one is as nebulous as second "bad" one

And the first "bad" one, which the author complains is too specific (because "person reading it has no clue what it means. Just say you can build frontend or backend or train ML models etc") is just about the best profile listed in the whole article

Also: do not broad-brush insult readers of others' profiles - you have absolutely no idea what the other person understands when they read something: the "person reading it has no clue what it means" ... really? You know that when I mention specific technologies and work areas someone else does not know what they are!? Even if they do not know what the specifics are (maybe you have never heard of ELK Stack), that categories in which those tools have been leveraged are also listed means that either a) context clues will tell me what I need to know, b) I can do a quick search to find out what they are, or c) I can move on quickly because your areas of applied technical know-how do not [seem to] fit what I want to do

These profiles ought to be like the Summary of a good resume - give a quick-enough sketch of your interests and experiences to be able to give reasonable clues as to your relative fit for a new role
Yes. Other browsers can implement FLoC. Any website can also use the browse APIs for retrieving interests.
State administered vengeance is certainly a superior alternative to vigilantism. It’s the underlying desire for revenge that I consider to be morally dubious. I’m not sure it’s entirely immoral to seek revenge, but I definitely think it’s immature and that the morally superior option is forgiveness.

But in any case, our justice system does incorporate vengeance into processes, but I don’t think that stems from a moral necessity. I think that it’s necessitated by the fact that the role of the government is to govern people, and people demand vengeance, regardless of the moral consequences.

I see no reason not to allow this.

That's why people at Microsoft made those decision and not you. The most obvious reason would be to use the executable itself to back the memory which the comment you replied to already hinted at. Instead of loading the entire executable into memory on application start, you just create some memory mapping entry. As the code executes and accesses different parts of the executable, the page fault handler will load the required pages on demand. If you only access a small part of the executable, only a small part of the executable will ever be loaded into memory. If you run low on memory, you can just use the page frames holding the executable for other things, you can always load pages from the executable again if needed.
Wouldn't we expect to see substantially more than 30% of the DNA be different.

I don't think carbon dating can be used to extract DNA.

I also would have thought DNA would have degraded significantly over that period of time.

There are probably a thousand more reasons this is blatantly false, to those with scientific knowledge beyond my early highschool experiences.

It's bizarre and fascinating the Mexican government has entertained this.
Also there’s a good chance Apple had some wiggle room in deciding the date that the iPhone 12 was pulled from the shelves. From apple’s perspective today sounds like a great day to pull the 12 because people would just assume it’s not available any more now that the 15 is out.
I agree with much of the article. You do need to take great care to make code with embedded LLM use modular and easily maintainable, and otherwise keep code bases tidy.

I’ve recently had to learn some nix to build an IHP app (Haskell framework). Most hosting providers require a dockerfile and/or image. I couldn’t get nix to build an image on time within the hosting providers’ CI. So I gave up.

For any other project, I can spend half an hour max to get a decent deployable build. The trade offs is Nix doesn’t seem to work for me.

I genuinely think this is a step in the right direction.

Website operators need to get paid. Advertising helps subsidize their costs, often allowing them to provide their services for free. But this is usually done via third party cookies, which means you have no control over what information is collected about you and your behavior, or who it's sent to. Since they are usually implemented by the website itself, they can collect pretty fine-grained data on you. There is no reason for any of these adtech platforms to let you customize or access this data.

Google is about to follow Apple's lead and forbid third party cookies. This is unequivocally a Good Thing. But there has to be an alternative so that advertising can continue to hold up the internet and keep it freely accessible.

The best solution is to move that information into the browser itself, where you can control it. That's true privacy: the ability to choose what others know about you. If you want anonymity, you can turn it off. It's a solution that covers all the bases.

> Electrification of transport is one of the key solutions to climate change (and urban air pollution).

That's we are going to see in the long run. It is disputed that the e-cars have a smaller footprint than for instance modern small diesel motors (calculating the amount of km you can drive with + production chain).
A big problem that the web has is that it has no standard for micro-transactions. As such, the web is powered by ads or subscriptions. That's a fact.

Of course, we can talk about the "indie web", the one in which enthusiasts often get overworked without pay, and then have to provide support for free to entitled users, while begging for donations to keep the servers alive (e.g., Mastodon, etc). But IMO that's not sustainable. Servers, electricity, people’s time aren't free.

If ads go away, large portions of the web will be locked behind paywalls. You could say that's not your problem, however, you're a privileged individual that can probably afford to pay for YouTube or whatever else you need, whereas the poor can't afford it.

Ads going away also means that your average online publication can only survive if subsidized by a bigger player, like Facebook. Especially smaller newspapers, as there is only one NY Times and subscriptions fatigue is real.

People that want to ban advertisements are basically the NIMBYs of the online world. Fact of the matter is that absolutely all browsers are funded directly by ads, including Safari and Firefox (both funded by Google actually). Brave Software had the audacity to speak against the Topics API, while having plans to also do client-side targeting, but in a way that keeps the results under Brave's lock (data for me but not for thee). Vivaldi spoke against the Topics API while defaulting to Bing and encouraging users to not block ads from their partners. I vaguely remembered that even Firefox flirted with client-side ads in the new-tab page.

The Internet needs valid business models. Wanting ads to go away is like wanting capitalism to go away. And the people proposing it have no better solutions than having the government subsidize it all or just letting it crash and burn.
a lot of stores and restaurants in America owners just bake that fee into the price instead of explicitly passing it onto the consumer

Not really. Most businesses don't set prices based on "cost plus" methodology. Maximizing profit based on price and volume is how most do it. Some merchants may choose to absorb the 3%, to compete on price and maximize profit through higher volume than a competitor who charges the same price but doesn't accept credit cards.

You "always pay the 3% fee" the same way you "always pay" for anything else the merchant may offer but you don't use: curbside pick-up, free delivery, the "free gift with purchase" you don't accept because you don't need it, generous returns policy, etc, etc.

Show HN: I'm building open-source, collaborative developer content platform
Hi everyone,

So, I've been building Vrite as an open-source project for a while now, but only now - with v0.2.0 - I'm happy to finally provide official self-hosting support.

The best way to describe Vrite is a "developer content platform" - something between a CMS and a knowledge base - a versatile tool to create, manage, and publish your technical content.

You can use it in various ways:

- as a headless CMS for your technical blog (with Kanban management dashboard and API + JS SDK)

- as a great WYSIWYG editor for product docs in your GitHub repo (kind-of like GitBook)

- as an internal tool to manage, search through, and chat with all your content with AI (so a knowledge base like Confluence, Notion, etc.)

Currently, Vrite is still in Beta, but I hope that in time, it can become a solid tool for various use cases, helping all kinds of software developers and technical writers maintain high-quality docs, share knowledge, and build their blogs.

Either way, if you're interested in something like this, let me know what you think. And how I can make Vrite even better.

>This person can build fast: Quality rarely matters in MVPs, Speed and number of iterations is the most important factor when pivot is just down the road.

While this statement happens to be true[ish], that it is even close to true is a major failing in the startup (and even non-startup) world

If you are not thinking about quality, scalability, and security from the start, you have no business being a founder of any kind

You need to be at least planning for the tool/service to scale. This does not mean you build the Google-of-2023 before Google-of-1998. It does mean if you are not planning for reliable, sustainable growth (more customers, more features, more integrations, etc), you are planning to fail (or to fit into such a tiny niche you will be innovated around by someone else who is planning these things)

All too often the "MVP" pivots into being the product or service actually offered - necessitating massive rewrites and workaround later if growth, stability, and security was not thought about from the git-go

> Anyway, you seem to be a niche consumer, why aren't you looking for a niche product to match instead of complaining about a mass-market product that never has and probably never will fit your needs?

The issue that's hard for many to admit is that in many case Apple makes the best devices from a hardware and quality standpoint (I also like iOS better than Android, but that's more subjective). If there were other players in the market making devices at Apple's level that also had some niche features we probably wouldn't see so many complaints.
Nothing about the ultra has changed that fact that you still have to own an iPhone to pair it with, right? It can’t really be considered an independent device?

> How is Spotify for finding new music based on your tastes?

I haven't tried any alternatives really, but so far for me I'd say decent. I put on an album, and once over it'll play similarish stuff. If I don't like a song I'll skip it and it seems to incorporate that feedback.

Only thing is that it doesn't seem to be too adventurous and it adheres rather strictly to the local context. Meaning, if I played a stoner rock track, it'll continue suggesting stoner rock and not much else, even though I have quite varied music favorited in my library.

Overall though I've found a lot of new bands I enjoy that way so, positive experience for me.

edit: as an example, here are the two most recent ones it suggested where I ended up buying the albums on Bandcamp. Both have quite few monthly listeners (1-2k), so not what I'd call mainstream.

Show HN: Talk to AI clones of 2024 Presidential candidates, and make them debate
Hi HN!

This is a project we made at Delphi, the digital cloning company, to help Americans become more informed voters. Personal conversations are the ideal way to learn about candidates and generative AI allows this at scale.

The material we've collected for each candidate is quite extensive and varies depending on their public exposure. On average, we have about 100 hours of video and podcast interviews to give us a thorough understanding of their views and communication styles. Additionally, we've archived every tweet they've sent out, which, for some candidates, numbers in the tens of thousands.

We've also gone through the entirety of their official websites, meticulously analyzing 'About Me' sections, policy positions, campaign narratives, and blog posts. Some candidates have even written op-eds for various outlets, which we've incorporated into our database.

The goal is to cultivate a multifaceted understanding of each candidate, encompassing their public persona, policy positions, and unique communication methods.

Today we are launching on Product Hunt and would appreciate your support: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/chat2024

Thank you for taking the time to try it out!
