Noob question. Any properties of FM at a high or strange combination that could cause lights in the lab? If so, could they be elaborated on to help explain the Hessdalen lights phenomena? Can radio waves of any combination/form/output/etc generate anything close to plasma? or non-plasma lights?

My thinking is along the (fault) lines of earthquake lights, maybe not related to the Hessdalen lights.

Thanks for the link! I’ve been trying to figure out how to buy/make a Raman spectrometer for cheap (currently in a third world country too!). Have you built one yet? I’m having trouble finding the lenses needed (mostly because of my lack of knowledge). Any chance you know what to use?

That's a pretty fair summary except I'd add it's the most important by a huge margin across many dimensions. There's definitely significant daylight between what we've written, but a lot of agreement too.
Here’s the HN post of the official announcement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37494605
This isn't new though. Before Slack and Discord we were using IRC for this. Facebook serves a different need, and for me, was never the default place for event information. Up until the last 5-10 years we were always using email mailing lists, web forums, usenet, or IRC.

I wonder what practical measures you could take if you believed you were a target of these guys and was a journo/activist maybe:

- A different device for each app (Whatsapp, Telegram, Signal, etc)

- Use web front ends and keep the phone turned off - not sure if it works for all apps

- Regularly ditch devices, sell them second hand and get new/used phones.

- Use the devices to setup meetings in more secure environments, never say/text anything into the phone, assume its compromised at all times.

And there should be some sanction against NGO, they are scumbags.

It's the convention on HN to append the year when an article is more than a year old.

Of course the statements in the article may still be correct after N years. That's good!

Edit: but the article should be the original source. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37505585.
The UI on social media is unfixable trash at this point.

If you comment, and someone replied to you, and you click the notification, most of the time you'll see random unrelated comments.

I really think we should go back to the pure section/thread/post model, with pagination and jump-to-time date pickers.

Since the news feed is vaguely useful-ish, you could keep some kind of aggregated recent posts, and notifications are helpful... but otherwise... Social software was perfected in the proboards era.

I almost think the model would be just fine for personal sites with a few tweaks. Pretty much anything you can do on the web, can be done as a forum acceptably well. People have used them like Wikis, people share files, they sell stuff.

Everyone understands it, it's got almost zero surprise factor, the ability to have signatures keeps the focus on individual people instead of just using people as human ChatGPT servers in matrix pods to help generate more low effort keyboard diarrhoea to scroll.
IMHO Clion with Rust plugin is already the best Rust IDE available and I gladly pay for it.

I've never used sublime, how is it "more featured" than either Vim, or (especially) Emacs?

Ok, so "monetary cost" and/or "performance cost" -- either way, it's for the benefit of the site (whether fiscal or reputational benefit). Although a desire for the latter is fairly well shared by all parties.

Also: it's a pity that the lowsrc attribute was deprecated. I know there are alternative using JS, but it was useful.

Very interesting. This could be applied recursively to AI compilers to accelerate the training pipeline. After all, GPU code is just a bunch of kernels expressed in some syntax that is very similar to LLVM low level representation so the same strategy that works for LLVM should work for other intermediate representations of GPU kernels.

While I agree with your sentiment: most people who DON’T follow the advice will propably not ship anything either as shipping is hard and rare in any case.
The reasoning put forward in that link are weak. A large part of it hinges on forks of vscode being unable to use the marketplace, and assuming worst intent in all other areas, and not balancing any other movements with the good that has been done over the past few years.

While reading this I realized I could easily say that cncf/k8s has fractured the container community.

It is a hint, inasmuch as the behaviour depends on the lazy load root margin which is implementation-defined, with a handful of suggested factors to take into account in choosing the defaults. Disabling lazy loading is done by setting the lazy load root margin infinitely large. Relevant spec: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/urls-and-fetching.htm.... In Firefox, you can control this by setting the dom.image-lazy-loading.root-margin.{top,left,right,bottom} prefs in about:config.
High quality text-to-speech costs $8.25/hr at ElevenLabs. While this is reasonable for many use cases, like book narration, it completely rules out others.

UnrealSpeech is nearing the quality of ElevenLabs while being $0.36/hr. It does not seem to offer as many pre-built voices or voice cloning, but it's a good start.

First thing I did in VScode was install/activate Vim mode.

So if VScode does go the way of Windows, then I'll "just" go back to another editor with vi bindings.

(yes yes, I remember some of my emacs bindings, wrote a thesis in latex on emacs, and learnt lisp as a result, but I realised that vi was more "portable")
No, but that is exactly why Apple might be a little bit reluctant to go for assistance. It's a bit like going to the neighborhood burglar to ask him how to secure your house. "I'll be right over to take a good look at your property" is not the answer you think it is.
Starlink is very cool tech but it will always be a rather niche service given most people live in cities. Looking at https://satellitemap.space/ they currently have about 8 of their 4700 satellites over California. Each is basically a cell tower in the sky.

Napa, CA has a population of about 80K and has 135 antenna towers registered with the FCC. https://www.city-data.com/towers/cell-Napa-California.html

So even when they 10x the capacity it'll only be a small town's worth of cellular bandwidth across a state the size of California.
Because you'd be asking an iCloud sucker.
I'm guessing we'll return to the continuously showing movie. Well, more like the starting-any-time-you-want movie. As individual VR headsets are available in every seat, you could start the movie synchronized with just the people in your own party. Of course, there will have to be technological and/or social advantages over doing the same thing in your own home.
People say this a lot but is that really true? I feel it needs objective measurements including anything from access to health care, drug risks, etc.

Most importantly any progress made by humans as a whole rather than “the poor” needs to be subtracted such as general progress on medicine.

Frankly this argument is used as a cludgel

That's how all their IDEs work. It's all the same software with different sets of allowed plugins.

From where did you get this idea -- basic use? It most certainly is not this to as great a degree as you might like to think. Source: JB employee.
Interestingly, while I 100% agree with you regarding the parent's question about security holes, I'm actually not sure how an experiment like the one on Wikipedia could be performed even with proper buy-in from all the owning entities (Wikimedia Foundation?) Is it even in principle possible to test this ethically without risking misleading the users (the public)? If not, does that mean it's better if nobody researches it at all? The best I can think of is by making edits that as harmless as possible, but their very inconsequentiality would make them inherently less likely for them to be removed. Any thoughts?
True, but I would like to add:

1. If you can afford it, you should still reduce.

2. The meat and dairy industries are heavily subsidized especially in developed countries. These prices are artificially low.[1]

The subsidies could of course be shifted to human edible plants (instead of feeding corn/maize) making plant-based diets more affordable.

At the moment however few politician want to be connected to rising meat prices. If they were to get clear signals from their voters for shifting preferences of course that could also change.

FWIW, there is also a cryptocurrency called "USD Coin" with a symbol of USDC, which I find roughly equivalent to PYUSD in terms of giving the impression of being actual USD.
The learning curve is not so steep, as long as you don't try to learn ALL OF EMACS upfront. Just start using it for your basic editing, learn how to open/save files, how to navigate, buffer management, as you go. When you need something more specific, you can easily look it up in the great in-built documentation. You can also use something like Doom, which simplifies more advanced setups, and adds to discoverability (press the leader key, and you get a set of options for what else you can do from there).

It's the same with Vim, if you learn how to do basic editing, the rest comes along easily, as you need it. (remember "ESC :q!", though :) )
Yeah I thought it was ironic when the author was talking about the lesson Musk somehow missed.. while missing the lesson that it actually worked.
Exactly right. There would be no confusion if the Hutter prize was a competition for compressing human data.

This is a parallel issue to the ones in conversations around understanding. There's a massive gulf between being able to build an ontology about a thing and having an understanding of it: the former requires only a system of categorizing and relating elements, and has nothing to do with correctness per se; the latter is an effective (note: lossy!) compression of causal factors which generate the categories and relations. It's the difference between "Mercury, a star that doesn't twinkle, orbits Earth, the only planet in existence, and we have inferred curves that predict why it goes backwards in its orbit sometimes" and "Mercury and Earth, planets, both orbit the Sun, a star, and all stable orbits are elliptical".
The literal source code in this case: you can look up yourself how os_log_fault works.
The problem isn't Gradle itself which I am a huge fan of but more so the existing legacy Android plugins which have either stagnated or slowly degraded.

Moving to Bazel would be good for aligning everything. As previously mentioned ASOP is built with Bazel, Bazel already has great support for building Android apps (and works much better with NDK: https://bazel.build/docs/android-ndk).

Gradle while I do like it I have come to realise is a drastically more complicated
(and magic) build system than Bazel. I say this as someone that can do "anything" in Gradle by either developing custom plugins or dropping hacks into buildSrc.

I think part of the reason why Android builds don't get better is people don't want to even try deal with Gradle because of the comprehensibility cliff, i.e there is too much distance between "I can copy and paste and it works" and "I actually understood what I copied and pasted".

It's hard to say exactly what the key problems are with comprehension are but despite years of trying to help others understand Gradle I gave up and just handled all the build issues myself.

Bazel has been a lot easier on the uptake, it's not perfect and still takes a bunch of upfront "you need to understand the difference between rules, repository rules, macros etc" but there is less fundamental topics to cover and less magic if you aren't using external rulesets.

You did not read the use case. It's not equivalent of Booking. More like equivalent of Wix for hotels.
I love how this somehow is used as an argument for todays wealth disparity. “Well kids, you could have been a Jew under Hitler, so go kiss Elons feet and be thankful” to put the argument to the max.
Huh. Excluded from stable? That’s a bit silly. I only used Nightly and it worked there last time I tried (maybe a year ago).
Then how do you transfer those large 4k videos? From reading the comments here I feel weird because I always use USB3 to transfer my videos from my (Android) phone to my PC.

What do iPhone users do to get all that data off their phones and onto their macbooks?

It's not obvious if you come from emacs, but the keyboard centric navigation is very different from traditional IDEs, that usually come with a wide array of buttons with weird icons at the top.

A few other aspects:
- dark mode by default
- web tech UI, not terminal
- decent looking widgets and decorations

I don't think these are the main selling points for vscode, but they do all of this better than their competitors.
I made an opener for my garage door that's on the web so I enter a password and hit the submit button and my garage door opens. I self host that because I have to.
> You can do attacks that most people haven't been able to do for 20+ years.

This is a bad and roundabout way to say that vulnerabilities in WebAssembly modules may still cause a corruption in their linear memory. Which is absolutely true, but those attacks still matter today (not everyone turns ASLR on) and similar defences also apply. In the future multiple memories [1] should make it much easier to guard against remaining issues. WebAssembly is a lucrative target only because it is so widespread and relatively young, not because it has horrible security (you don't know how the actually horrible security looks like).

So you don’t think that writing a wiki article about this could be made smaller by encoding this info in a few logical steps, and adding some metadata on what kind of sentence should follow what? That part about decompressing it is the AI part. Where to place a comma can be added in constant cost between any contender programs.
>They’ll be too busy scavenging the scorched ruins of our cities for the last cans of refrigerant so they can survive another month on our doomed planet.

Don't be silly. Our grandchildren won't need refrigerant to survive a hot Earth; they can just live underground. Caves stay cool year-round. Or they could dig a bunch of silos, 144 levels deep, and live in those, sending outcasts to the "outside" to die in the poisoned air.
It was disappointing to see, as I am really tired of running multiple IDEs to work on mixed language projects.

mixed language projects are the __norm__, not the exception. I get most often bitten by this when I have both C++ and Python IntelliJ projects configured in one tree, and it starts complaining about project name clashes.
VSCode has supported multiple cursors since at least 2018 when I switched, unless we’re talking about 2 different things?
I believe K&R is a wonderful introduction to C - "wonderful" as in "let's open the editor and try this". It's well written, simple, and you are left with the feeling that someone just gave you a Jedi weapon.

It took a while for us as a community to realize that such a Jedi weapon can easily slice your fingers off, because before the internet the worst that would happen is "it crashed again" but that was kind of normal.

As an American English-speaker I think my ostensible tribal obligation is to call it a tie at worst and take Sir Isaac’s part by default, but Wikipedia seems to be going out of its way to avoid concluding that Leibniz got there first: I’m curious if Germans have a different view than us in the Empire or it’s former colonies.

It is a formal specification of what browsers used to do with a broken HTML. Because it is now fully specified, everyone can safely write a broken HTML (half joking!), but also there is no longer a surprising behavior due to diverging behaviors from different browsers.

I've been saying this for years. It's an industry scam.

Even if I played the rhetorical game where it isn't a scam, they should give a pre test where if I read 20/20 I skip the exam and renew my prescription, sans doctor fees.
Dann, that is a crazy amount of functionality built in to an indie project! Well done to the creator.

The author qualifies this statement towards the end of the article where he also provides a short review of a few studies:

> My personal view is this: If you view the current generation of LLMs as pioneering efforts in a long-term research program, then the results are encouraging. But if you consider this technology as an immediate replacement for hand-coded software, it’s quite hopeless. We’re nowhere near the necessary level of reliability.

I think especially the overview of the studies provided in the article are valuable. You can draw your own conclusions from the results.
It would be more interesting to have estimated the hazard function of the fibs. Here's my bogus estimation: A third of the fibs being removed within 2 days implies a half life of 3.5 days and an average fib duration of 5 days.

Yes. I'd stock Koran too. Satanic Verses by Rushdie would also be included. If I can have access to Mein Kampf, to the library it goes.
Sounds like the next step is some way to define a multi-table view over a more traditional RDBMS (e.g. Postgres), serving as a source of truth, that can be continually exported as a read-only SQLite, so that the SQLite file can be pushed to the edge and read from the edge?

I'm not sold on the idea of per-customer databases; businesses still need analytics, so if you're not running your analytics on the centralized DB itself, your app needs to write/push the data somewhere else, which is an unnecessary complication early in the product lifecycle at best and a recipe for frustration at worst.
DDoS-Guard has many similar services. Based out of RU. Seems to be used by questionable services more so or a similar amount to Cloudflare. Only briefly looked into them but had trouble understanding pricing structure and what came with what. Ended up using CF.
