Something I've thought about for the past year, we can totally have real life PokeDexes now. It's all there; vision, voice, and reasoning. Just needs to be packaged with enough hardware to power local models, which smartphones aren't quite there yet. I want one.
Yes, you can order it directly from the Murena website

Not sure if/when that will be available directly from the fairphone website though.
The problem is with trying to "recycle" garbage plastic. Plastic is mostly carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Properly burning it using high-temperature (900+°C) pyrolysis converts most of plastic into water and carbon dioxide. There are some issues with sulfides and nitrogen oxides, but scrubbing those is a familiar problem for the industry. Remaining ash is relatively inert and can be used as a filler in various applications. Releasing carbon dioxide is not great, but it's much safer biologically than polluting environment and oceans with microplastics and total volume is relatively small compared to other emission sources.
>And shooters would legit be pretty damn happy.

I appreciate your well-thought out response but I gotta ask, are you a gun/shooting enthusiast or do you know a lot of them?

I ask because I'm related to several and they regard basically ANY regulation/"red tape" as a giant PITA.
You'll lose with that attitude. Not the attitude a successful person has.

If multiple people give you the same advice, why are you going to ignore it. Why ask in the first place?
That also sounds just plain wrong.

> Raspberry Pi 5 has been designed to handle typical client workloads, uncased, with no active cooling.

For "untypical loads" you can get a case and/or a fan or just make it run slightly slower.
The only reason to keep something closed source is if you're trying to hide questionable behaviors (e.g. NVIDIA drivers, M$ Windows) or your code's embarassing (most enterprise software).
I'm not a law talkin' guy or member of any bar cartel.
Lots of these are paper arguments. Yeah so Iraq was not "annexed", but the west installed a puppet government to do what they want, and they attempted to brainwash the population with western values. They did the same in Afghanistan, but fortunately they failed miserably and left in a humiliated manner. Maybe the kidnapping wasn't as bad as ukraine, but the hundreds of thousands killed and millions displaced and sick and poor and left without anything would like to have a word with you. I'm not defending Saddam's atrocities, but let's not pretend that the US didn't nuke Japan or use napalm in Vietnam. Fact of the matter is that the western hypocrisy is now more exposed than ever. You think they really care about Ukraine? All they see is more room to expand their influence and power in the globe.
This discussion is so funny.

I never encountered any of this, except that one roommate liked to brag about his expensive win 9x box, and me and another roommate would take turns using our junky linux and nt desktops to “pause” his machine with “ping -f”, usually in the middle of a lecture about how amazingly fast it was.

Later, we had an openbsd router running on an old 386 that we jammed a few old 10MBit 3com cards into (later, Linux, plus $20 ne2000’s).

Those things had 100% uptime other than power outages, ne2000 swaps, and the time I unplugged it after 50 gallons of water ran through it (stayed up, worked fine after I made a new copy of the soggy boot floppy).

Later we ended up with some shitty belkin router, etc. “Unplug it and plug it back in? Really?”

Eventually, I got a WRT54GL (emphasis on the L) which worked for a few years.

Now I’m back on OpenBSD. The only software downtime is due to PG&E power cycling it 100 times, and fsck expecting me to send a “y” over the serial port one of those times. Now it is double battery backed.

It works, but I’m living in fear of the day my PC Engines APU board finally gives up the ghost.

Also, sometimes our starlink’s linux cpu hangs. You’d think they could get that right. It’s not like it’s as hard as building a car, launching rockets, or operating a network that’s used for public safety announcements.
Ask HN: Do you get frustrated by short session timeouts?
Hi HN,

Today I received an email from our IT department that they are reducing the session timeout for slack down from what must be weeks to 12 hours.

Often I keep having the same debate with my manager - him pushing for shorter timeouts because security and me pushing for longer ones because users surely don't want to be logging in all the time.

Every morning I have to do a 10 minute dance of launching the VPN, typing in password, typing in number into MFA authenticator, logging into various internal websites, and doing the same thing again.

It's always difficult to argue against security because it's one of those things that you can always have more of and it's unclear how much is enough, until you have a breach, at which point it's clear it wasn't enough.

So how do you decide on session timeouts and how do you push back on ones that are onerously short?
Ask HN: How do I offer AI services to local business?
I run a small, established web firm with a good local reputation.

I'm wondering if there's an opportunity to sell AI services to my clients, and other local businesses.

What are the possible business models, services or products I could offer?

Think businesses like restaurants, motels, builders, electricians, small retail, non-profits.

Ideas:

1. Simple, branded, BYOK ChatGTP
2. AI "box" that's trained on their data.
3. AI customer support / assist service.
4. AI content generation.
We raised ~$60m before R1 launched in 2018. And we were still under 100 total when S2 launched at the end of 2019.

I'm not sure how things would have played out if we had 100m+ before we launched anything. We may have delayed launch even further and missed out on valuable market feedback and brand awareness.
"Live fast, die young, bad mice do it well..."
Also, much more racism, trolling, and abuse are all promoted. The blue-check replies are among the worst of it, and now they're pushed to the top.
A better measurement would be how many of those projects are still relevant in 10 years from now.

Now filter for SoftBank.
Loose translation from the article on tagesschau.de for clarification:

> In Germany, work accidents need to be reported if the person injured died in the process or cannot work for more than three days.

(https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/tesla-gruen...)

So nope, not band-aid accidents. Actual people being injured in such a way that they need at least three days off.
They are designing the Niemann AI chess beads but for real this time.
Does that contradict what is being said here, though? The straightforward reconciliation of the two: Some inhibition leads to regeneration; extended inhibition leads to runaway growth leading to abnormally enlarged cardiomusculature and health complications?

(I haven’t yet clicked your link, though!)
I agree that moral relativism is absurd, but I don’t see any problem with moral realism. I think many intelligent people understand the boundaries of our knowledge in the domain of consciousness, cognition and agency and thus they don’t jump to conclusion that morality doesn’t exist on the grounds that there is no equation for it in string theory.
Posthog is a bit of a farce sadly.

Don't hate the player, mind.
At least the creepy orb is trying to solve a problem that actually exists. Namely how do you know the guy you are talking to is a real person? And especially, how do you know the guy you are donating money to is a real person?
What the hell is an "AI device"?

Unless we're talking robotics, I don't see why you would need a separate device for AI. Seems like we already have all the right form factors (phones, speakers, etc).

This reminds me of when Facebook tried to make a Facebook phone. Turned out iPhones and Androids were significantly better as phones and they could do Facebook just fine.
Ad hominem is not as good an argument as you think it is.

The only ones scared in this conversation are you and others who literally say you're scared for your jobs and your careers because of a magical boogey man.
did you see we have lamma2-7b int8?
Sure, but that's not a rollback. That's just figuring out whether a rollout / which rollout caused a revenue drop. (It's basically as if they'd not done a 100% rollout in the first place, but kept a 1% holdout group. The point isn't to get more revenue from that 1%, it's to be able to measure long-term impact from the original change.)
A few questions based on reading the comments here.

1) Why are people so certain that the claims that X should profit are incorrect? X did cut a massive percentage of their staff, and presumably whatever infrastructure changes they've initiated in the past months to save money should be done by then. Nobody can perfectly predict the future, but reducing expenses drastically seems like a good step forward in achieving their goal.

2) Why are people acting so personally hurt if X thrives? I don't even see this level of animosity for companies that deserve this level of ire, like companies that deliberately pollute the oceans or even the cable companies.

3) Are people rooting for X to fail? I think competition for Facebook and other social media is a great thing, and X still has a certain connection with the zeitgeist that I don't think can be matched.

4) Why are people ok with the rampant deadnaming of X? Do better!
We most certainly have a problem with our society, the internet has turned from being a place of information and sharing, to boldly whining about things that impact nobody. This is the 6th time over the course of 5 years someone has shared this link on hackernews. We get it, tools aren't perfect.

Do we have mods on HN that can get rid of these dupe posts?
I would expect fewer safety issues, since learnings from previous years can be taken into account during design, which isn't easy to do in existing factories.
I just have to pause for a moment and shake my head at the fact that they put a nearly 80 year old article behind a paywall. That just strikes me as ridiculous.
If you missed my comment edit, it's a lot less clear than I initially thought. Per Derek Lowe's blogpost, the ClO_x species supposedly don't migrate into the vapor phase. They're a component of the liquid fuel, but wouldn't necessarily end up in the exhaust.

- "...This mixture spontaneously ignites under the decomposition conditions, but it does not thermally decompose the underlying liquid. Meanwhile, at the anode, the perchlorate gets oxidized to chlorate and chlorite ions, but none of that shows up in the gas phase."

Or you know, if you're trying to make a profit on sales of the software itself. All the working open source business models work on selling service, not the software. Which is fine, but not everyone wants that business model.
Given how widely known this tree at Sycamore Gap was, you’d have to be the stupidest person alive to accidentally cut it down. There are literally no other trees nearby.
The article is paywalled, but this company has been struggling since last year. Not the only aggregator to have major issues, either. Aside from the post-pandemic pullback in online spending, the mantra about economies of scale and scaling up advertising the right way with an internal group just didn't pan out.
It benefits people who can structure things such that they and a bunch of their family members are “employed” by a “company” that just happens to do the extremely-rare thing of maxing out the employer-side contribution.

At least I assume that’s the scam. Almost no one working for a normal company sees the max contribution, certainly, even high earners.

Add to that weak cell coverage, exorbitant fees, and a privacy nightmare of jumbled up offerings (Yahoo! Japan, PayPay, Line, Telecom, ISP services, etc.), and you get the full picture.

SoftBank is originally one of the big 3 telecom providers in Japan. We do joke around here about our phone bills increasing anytime Masayoshi Son makes a bad investment.
I coupd register on Twitter, buy some followers and posts, and then post those same accident numbers without citing any sources, if that would be more to your liking.
> Asking for help is an exceptional event.

"Exceptional event" is not a useful or well defined concept. A better concept is "error" or "unexpected result".

Asking for help is a request for information. The normal, non-error, expected result is that a bunch of text will show up on the output. It is entirely reasonable that the "next command in the pipe" might want to do something with that expected output.

I shouldn't have to guess whether or not you think the output I specifically requested is "exceptional", so it's entirely reasonable to expect that programs in general consistently put user-requested help on stdout.

You are of course free to write your software any way you want. And I'm free to think it's stupid, and to not use your software.
There is a lower bound, see my comment. Three days out or more (or death, that is…) needs to be reported, anything below does not.
They're claiming that they've killed themselves as a business hobbyists, which isn't exactly wrong. During their supply chain issues they made it clear they were prioritizing their commercial customers over the hobbyist market.

At this point the hobbyist community has moved on to other things (shout out to odroids). I don't think raspberry pi is going anywhere, but they do have a very different market and customer base than they did five years ago.

Also as a company their social media people really are assholes, which doesn't help at all.
Twitter's not going to disclose their actual numbers as a private corp, so while it's not a lie, it's also not a particularly verifiable truth.
I thought only those has to be reported, which would cause you to miss more than 3 days of work.

I think I read that somewhere, but not certain!
Security researcher stopped at US border for investigating crypto scam
I purchased a cordless power tool for the THEN-great deal of ~$200USD — item arrives, along with bribe to "leave a review and we'll send you a SECOND FREE BATTERY!"

Cool, as I typically leave reviews around 60-days of ownership... for this case I MADE AN EXCEPTION and immediately rated 5-stars. Left wondering 'how can they make this already-great deal EVEN BETTER?!'

Six weeks later, no 2nd battery has arrived (yet); I have been enjoying the new power tool immensely (still am); I walk into my local CostCo and see the same tool, packaged with TWO batteries, for ~$130USD!!!

Thankfully, it stung Less when my 2nd battery (from having left a review on Amazon) arrived from the re-seller. Tool still runs great!
I checked the link, my point stands and your explanation makes basically zero impact on anything here. This invention is only applicable to gasoline. Nothing in that link is applicable. Additionally, an EV powered by coal emits less emissions than a gasoline car. That is a fact, additionally, it enables a world where you replace the coal plant with zero emission options.

Additionally, while I fully agree with your angle...in a city...much of the world does not actually work like that. You tell someone in Montana to stop using a car and they will ask for you to build a shrink ray. Saying' Stop using a car' is exactly the same as hitting like on FB for a social cause: It doesn't change reality of people needing to be at work, have food, or live life. The world isn't a happy imaginary place where 'Oh, just walk/take a bike/public transport!' works. It only works if it is better than the car. That is true in NYC and SF, that is not true between them.

In zuckerberg's speech he shows one of many innovations that will drive all current sunglass wearers to switch to smart sunglasses which is the glasses keeping score of your tennis, ping pong ..card game ..whatever game and displaying the score in your view.

Though His example really just shows the glasses telling the player the tennis or pickle ball was out of bounds. I've just expanded it to keeping score of whatever game and or counting things in front of you to counting how many in a room to etc etc etc ones imagination can think of. The glasses will make life easier and in a magical way that drives all sunglass wearers (about 75 to 90 percent of the entire global population) to switch to smart glasses.
I lodge a complaint and let it go. I figure that it's my employer's systems, it's my employer's choices. If my employer wants me to waste time dealing with this sort of nonsense, so be it. I'm being paid regardless.

It's annoying, to be sure, but in the list of annoying things about the work environment, this doesn't even crack the top 10 for me.

The new law introduces quite a few other rules as well: you can't leave your dog alone on the street (e.g. tied to a street lamp while you enter a shop), you can't leave your dog alone on a balcony or in a car, you can't leave your dog alone for 24 hours anywhere, mandatory pet owner course if you have a dog -- although the Spanish article says it's for all pet owners, even birds -- that said, currently the course is postponed because they couldn't prepare it on time; mandatory insurance for your dog, steep fines for breaking these rules, etc.

Working dogs are exempt from these rules. Not only are they being discriminated, but they also don't have a right to minimum wage despite having a job.
People and non-person things are not clearly distinguishable beyond a certain level of abstraction and/or fixation on profit.
These people don’t know Germans drink beer by lunch time. My father worked at a lumber yard in Baden-Württemberg for a short time, and German coworkers pulled out cases of beer they brought for lunch. From what I can tell this remains a normal occurrence.

A device optimised to run a set of LLMs and not sacrifice battery for e.g. a screen seems like it would have a niche, if it just worked. Picture the AIs profiled in the later series of Westworld.

Indeed, a key part of this crosshair placement is 'prefiring' - knowing you're about to shoot before peeking.

The time-to-kill is rather low, the victor is [usually] who prepared the most - not who has the best natural aim.

I decide where I go each round by my spawn point - that's one of the easiest advantages you can have; knowing which allows you to beat the other team to a position/setup.

Once that initial fun is over, it's mostly about keeping a mental model of where the other team 'should be', and preparing for that.

Public games are a wild animal, you lose a lot of this 'reasoning' when it's no longer 5v5 or some reasonable number.

You generally assume a 2-1-2 split on the left/mid/right 'lanes' of the map; but some teams may stack when economically challenged. Many pistols beat one/two rifles, and can turn the round around!
Because they are prophets, giving a prophecy, ie seeing into the future and retelling it.
> Tesla accelerated the mass adoption of electric cars by at least a decade. Tesla’s workplace safety stats and their rate of progress are inextricably linked. If a 3x injury rate vs similar companies is cost of such progress, definitely worth it.

I strongly disagree with that argument.

A related argument with which I disagree is the one that people sometimes invoke to respond to accusations of exploited workers: arguing that the workers' lives were still generally elevated over what they would be, were the factory not there and exploiting them.
Sag A* is about 26k light years away. So it's not impossible some light from 57k years ago gets turned around.
I'm not sure electric cars quicker is a good thing unless it is somehow also a faster path to less cars.

The problem is with people behaving like children. I mean it was/is a fucking pandemic, and people where acting like wearing a mask would be the end of the world, or that trying a lockdown and don't leave your bloody home after 8p.m. for a few weeks will get you a totalitarian regime. What the actual fuck? Really, just say, "Ok let's try it for a few weeks, if it's not working and the government doen't have good arguments to extend it, then I see what I can do about it.".

But all this childish behaviour that still goes on in this world is really something else. With climate change slamming the doors currently people will soon see that the pandemic was just the start, then they can stand outside screaming at the weather how unfair everything is.
