There's a real lack of anti-glare displays outside of a few thinkpads. I was even considering purchasing one of those huiwon art tablets to use as my monitor because it's a fully matte display.

The Macs are particularly bad reflecting almost like mirrors. I'm not a fan of ultra-hi DPI super glare reflective displays at all.

What would have been the alternative? Go endemic Bergamo-style? Remain in soft lockdown for a decade or two in order to go endemic at a very slow pace? At the time vaccines were widely available, chances of making the virus die out had already been at exactly zero for quite a while (well, zero, plus wherever the chances are for a sudden all life ending meteor strike). It was vaccines that allowed us come to where we are now with the amount of inconvenience we had on the way. Any path without vaccines would have been worse, one way or the other.
Show HN: Layer – AI-Powered Chrome Extension for Hassle-Free Research
Hi everyone,

we're a small team passionate about making research more efficient. We decided to develop Layer after we found ourselves buried in tabs and documents during university projects. We craved a tool that could streamline the gathering of insights.

Hence, Layer was born. It’s our attempt to take the grunt work out of research with AI. Whether it’s academic research or market analysis, we believe Layer can make the process less tedious.

We would love to know your thoughts, and if you have faced similar issues, how you tackled them. Your feedback could help us shape Layer into a more useful tool for everyone!
Pure-tone sirens are necessarily noisy; a while back there was an attempt to replace them with alternating white noise and a more normal siren sound, the reasoning being that sirens only needed to be so loud because they were serving two different goals at the same time, to identify the existence and location of an emergency vehicle, and that white noise could be played at a much lower volume while making it easier to locate the vehicle relative to your own.

Also anecdotally: I live on a busy cross-roads in Berlin, and I've had half a dozen so far today… and one more while writing this line. The exact number varies a lot from one day to the next, so I'm not sure the overall count, but the new one is still going on by the time I get to this word ← here even though the road was fairly clear at the moment.

Sometimes I even get them in stereo as multiple vehicles go past with a gap between them; and I've witnessed at least one occasion where different services passed the junction in different directions within a few seconds of each other.

The sirens are the only bit about this place that I really dislike; but enough of a problem that I'm looking for a suburban place next even though that will probably mean a longer walk to shops and restaurants.

It's you who brought Orban here first, quoting something he didn't say, then refute it. Are you from some kind of propaganda school? Orbán posted this in fact: "My congratulations to the first Hungarian woman winning the Nobel prize. We are proud!"
> Virtually anything can be made more affordable in isolation, simply by transferring resources to it from elsewhere in the economy, and having most of the costs absorbed by the U. S. Treasury.

Maintaining birth rates (unlike buying cars manufactured abroad) would likely have a pretty good return on investment for society as a whole, that's a key aspect. Universal healthcare could produce more healthcare per dollar than private insurance and so on.

> we would not be a richer country as a result.

In the case of Rolls Royces, certainly not. In the case of e.g. subsidized daycare or universal healthcare, it all depends on how "rich" is being measured.
They way I see it is that execs have no idea how to measure productivity meaningfully but they believe as long as people are coming into the office more things will get done compared to employees working from home.

They think, “oh if you have 10 mins for doing the laundry during a work day, if you come into the office you won’t be doing that in office and perhaps use that 10 mins everyday to produce some additional non-zero value to the company”.

In their minds those 10-15 mins from everyone add up. I am not agreeing but that is what it seems to me.
In Commodore BASIC there's already SYS, which lets you jump to an arbitrary address anywhere in the 64k address space, including ROM. You can even include raw bytes in a BASIC program and have the CPU execute them as machine code.
> Gas physics suggests you shouldn't be able to make objects with the mass of Jupiter on their own

This is new to me. I always imagined that on the way to star formation the coalescing gas would start as a small central mass and grow larger and larger, passing through a Jupiter-mass stage and eventually igniting. I also imagined that the process could involve several small central masses which would variously end up as binary/ternary/++ star systems and all manner of brown dwarves/planets/debris in orbit around the center. And I also imagined that this process would stop at whatever point the gas supply ran out.

So in my mind, a pair of Jupiters would be a failed binary star system that didn’t quite have enough mass to achieve ignition as a pair of stars.

But maybe I’m missing a gas-physics reason why it couldn’t happen like this.

Hey, Computer, Make Me a Font
Core War is a game played in a memory arena of a virtual machine supporting a simple simulated assembly language. I first saw it described in a 1984 issue of Scientific American[1]. I had already been programming for 15 years by then and recognized Core War as being inspired by Darwin, an even earlier game developed at Bell Labs.

Darwin was created in 1961 and ran on an IBM 7090. In Darwin, programs competed for resources and the winner was the program that reproduced and took over all of the allocated space. It didn't last long because an unbeatable program was developed by Robert Morris Sr. See [2].

Software Practice and Experience was one of my favorite CS journals in the mid-70s and it had a frequent column call Computer Recreations written under the pseudonym Aleph-Null. I enjoyed implementing a number of the games described in that column while in grad school. Unfortunately, Software Practice and Experience is an expensive journal, but university students can likely find it like I did in the university libraries. The issues in the 1970s were easy to read and fun, having articles on subjects like pascal compilers, Algol 68, and concurrent programming. That is where I learned about Module[3,4] and later Oberon[5] in articles by N. Wirth.

There is no such thing as a sustainable future that centers around automobiles. The US might not internalize this for a generation or two, but it's true. It doesn't matter if they're electric or ICE, or if they're driven by humans or AI, they just don't fit in a sustainable future. There are 278m cars in the US, roughly 83% of the population. To scale to the world, that means 6.7b cars. That's completely absurd and wildly unsustainable, even at half the scale. Here's what's unsustainable:

- sourcing rare earth materials needed for batteries and computer components

- powering them

- handling the waste cars when owners upgrade or crash them

- putting tires on them

- the space needed to operate and store them

- the amount of time people spend in them

- the amount of labor required to build and maintain them

- the amount of labor required to maintain roads for them (maintenance, snow removal, etc.)

Doing any of this arguably involves human rights or ecological disasters. But that aside, barring widespread fusion reactor deployments, it is impossible. This above all else is why I just can't agree that Tesla will save the world or that self-driving cars are the future. They simply can't be, unless the future is absolutely terrible.

The western world is due for a reckoning. If we flatten out living standards across the world, GDP per capita is $12,414. If you want to be extraordinarily generous/cruel and leave out everyone except the US, Canada, Europe, India, and China it only goes up to $17k. That doesn't leave room for things like car ownership, air travel, Macbooks, college, eating out, child care, health care, etc. etc. It also doesn't help (to put it lightly) that the overwhelming majority of population growth is going to occur in poorer parts of the world.

The simple truth is either the western world figures out how to make do with far, far less than it currently does (and notably its elite essentially learn to be poor) or we suffer a prolonged period of intense violence while everyone else either quietly suffers/dies or loudly makes us pay for hoarding. There's a sliver of a chance where we figure out how to generate enough clean energy to raise everyone's living standards enough to pacify them, but it seems inevitable that the inequality that characterizes the current arrangement will apply to that as well, i.e. 1% to Africa 99% to Europe. It's possible they're just used to it and won't complain, but my guess is that climate change will force the issue.
I think this would work really well with the right vim plugin.

It's also being rolled out in berlin and what I saw it's really, really great. But there are drawbacks. People living on the main streets get more traffic and pollution and some violently oppose it. Public transit and emergency vehicle access can be solved. It's really not that easy to implement because car drivers will try to drive through anyway, so you have to install modal filters everywhere (elements that bike traffic can flow through but not car traffic). But then you have to think hard about public transit and emergency vehicles. So it's not really that cheap.

I think you have to reduce car-dependency first, afterwards you can roll them out because the acceptance is higher and advocacy groups form.

I don't think we should merge the market of gamers with the market of mobile gamers. The two things can overlap, but the target audience is wildly different.

Not disagreeing with the general concept - these IDs leak information - but these are sequential IDs, not auto-incrementing IDs. The leak is the time the ID was generated, not the volume of IDs generated.
Yes, this is the key insight. The mere fact that the virons are smaller than holes in the mask means nothing. The virons aren't expelled from our mouths or noses on their own, but are attached to moisture droplets which _are_ effectively trapped by surgical (and better) masks.
I launched a productized design studio for start-ups. Looking for feedback
About 3 months ago I launched the first version of my design studio website. After about 10 yrs. as an individual contributor, I decided it's time to help more start-ups and build something bigger than myself.

I offer 5 client seats, of which 2 are already filled, but I'm still trying to figure out if I have product-market fit. If I do, I still need to build a lead generation mechanism.

Any ideas how I can improve? Share your thoughts in the comments. Your advice is very welcome. Thanks!
To me, that’s also a problem. It locks out competitors (like this tool). It’d be great if they simply allowed installing arbitrary renderers on an org (basically, given a fenced input, output an image or formatted text).

How you grew in the womb, to the degree you want to think of it as a program, was infinitely more about the program laid down in your mother's biology, and her parent's again etc. You don't see your child as your product, you see it as the product of the same process that made you.

(If you're sensible, that is. There are cultures that treat children a lot more like any tool their parents would make.)

But conversely, it's nonsense to see a program you write as anything more than a tool. Everything there is a product of your conscious choices - not of some schema that created you both.
There are also regularly police sitting out running speed traps in a more adhoc style which is what got me.
No not really.

Infection is binary or not. You either get exposed to enough to actually result in replication inside your body or you don't. If you get exposed to a small amount and your immune system immediately eliminates it, that's not an infection.

The amount of exposure needed to actually cause an infection is different from person to person depending on their immediate immune response.

But it's not like reducing exposure by 50% reduces disease severity by 50%. Biology doesn't work that way.

LowRISC Extends Digital Security by Design Programme Support
The raw salt can be recombined with returning wastewater, so on condition that the expenses are made to properly balance the flows the problem of brine disposal is not as big as usually depicted. However it is a very big problem if the authorities refuse to implement these appropriate measures.

A more explicit way this type of technology as depicted in the article could be used:

given access to multiple baths of different salinity, the energy recovered from mixing 2 strongly saline baths can be used to desalinate a less saline bath.

Consider the following map (2.7 MB png):

https://www.esa.int/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/im...

Clearly tracts of land largely separating seas of different salinity like Spain / Morocco [or for example Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico] have access to 2 distinct salinities.

So by recovering energy from dumping the Mediterranean salt into the Atlantic, the energy can be recovered to desalinate either Atlantic waters or other accessible baths of saline but lower salinity water, like a transformer.

A second point: if sufficiently scaled up it could provide baseload or buffer the mismatch between energy production and consumption, however one ought to reflect on the consequences on the local ecosystem if the water baths are not contained in man-made receptacles.

Please don't use praise to smuggle in vaccine misinformation.
