This. When I tried to comment briefly yesterday that the coin falls on the same side, only then did I remember that I actually did that and that it has nothing to do with physics but rather neuroscience (and innocently bent morality - which was also the object of my internal observations). then I remembered that I had actually considered different coin sizes, but I was never as thorough in my attempts to bend the results as you were. oh... the playgrounds of childhoods...
(Sorry about all the typos, ADHD problem). And the communication problem was that for gpsmon to communicate "with shared memory" correctly to chrony gpsmon needs to start first. The default installation sets the order the other way around. At least it was my findings for me that the instructions in the article only worked because people tended to still leave network based time services in the chrony configuration. If you take these away it would not lock.

In any case, fixing the start order made this problem go away so it must have something correct about it.
Did they do the Portal ports? I thought the nVidia Shield ports were done externally.
Honestly I'm surprised it lasted this long if anything. Windows scripting moved over to powershell like a decade ago at this point (if not more). I imagine it's only Microsoft's strong commitment to backwards compatibility which has let VBS last this long.

It looks neat, but at the same time, I don't get what is it trying to solve. Another declarative configuration language format (we already have YAML and HCL, now there is KCL) and I don't see how is it an improvement worth presenting this tool to my team. Secret management seems to be half assed: if Kusion was at least providing tools for integrating with solutions like Vault or Aws Secrets Manager then could alleviate huge pains, but right now it looks like it requires you to write additional glue and integrate it with Kusion somehow.

I don't want to invest my time into another declarative closed loop. Now that there is Pulumi it just doesn't make any sense to me. It allows to easily integrate all the parts of deployment process together using already known and more flexible tools than declarative languages could ever be.
I remember looking at it a good long time ago. They didn’t have release packages for me to play with so I told myself that I’d check it out later when they are ready. It looks like they released an alpha version an hour ago - hence this is on HN again.

It is a welcome concept. We have blurred the lines between strictly local files and all the cloud storage options these days. I personally maintain those boundaries and almost never mount cloud storage on my Mac, but my wife(as an academic) deals with Dropbox,iCloud drive, Google Drive and whatever Microsoft calls theirs, because the people she works with shares files through them and collaborate with reviews and such. If a solution like this can mask the vendor specific connection hiccups and quirks and provide a transparent file system that appears local but may be backed by $x cloud storage, that would be a nice boost to her workflow.

The key is the usability of such a tool. If the latencies are so high that it feels slower than Finder, then its chances are slim.

One of my favourite micro-instances of Brunel's engineering are the brick arches of Moulsford Railway Bridge on the Thames near Wallingford, Oxfordshire. The railway has to cross the river at an angle, so a plain perpendicular bridge wouldn't work.

The solution is simply explained if you take a piece of paper, draw some "brickwork" lines on it it, bend it into an arch, then twist it so that the arch and the thing it is crossing are at an angle.

You'll see how the lines of bricks are angled vertically instead of being straight horizontal. That is exactly how they are at Moulsford.

It’s very sad and it seems like many open source projects die because of that - no back contributions or any help, only “copy and paste from SO and get paycheck”.

That's why it matters in that situation, because it changes what actually happens (not just the performance).
EMS = electro muscular stimulation? No, not 100%. Astronauts have very good resistance training onboard the ISS at this point. Some of them come back to earth stronger than they left. However, it turns out that your body also needs skeletal loading in order to produce strong bones. That kind of loading comes from having large forces distributed through the entire body. NASA tried a variety of shortcuts around resistance training, but none of them were satisfactory.

A spinning drum is probably the best method short of artificial gravity, but it has a couple problems. A rotating reference frame creates some pretty non-intuitive effects (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ_seXo-Enc). Research is ongoing about just how fast a human can be spun for a long duration, although data is hard to come by. We also don't know how low of a gravity a human can stay healthy in without intervention like serious exercise. If it turns out that you need 1G, that involves a much larger spinning drum than a G/3 (Mars) or G/6 (Moon) environment. The problem is that we really have no way to simulate those environments for a human.

What a wonderful publication Pantographia is.

I'd not seen it before but I've seen others printed around this time. What is amazing to see is how much care and effort went into top publications of the Enlightenment era, others come to mind such as the famous Encyclopédie by Diderot, d'Alembert et al. These people were truly proud of their work and the technology that went into reproducing it (this fact also came up today on another HN story about I.K. Brunel).

What is interesting to note is that Edmund Fry acknowledges the Patronage and Encouragement of Sir Joseph Banks, etc, of the Royal Society. This is significant as Banks was a perfectionist and he would have known the state of the art in printing at the time having essentially set the standard himself with his famous Florilegium engravings, and although I've no evidence I've little doubt that Fry would have been aware of Banks' extensive knowledge of same. Whilst Banks' Florilegium wasn't published in his lifetime, its preparation—study by Banks and Solander and drawings by Parkinson of the natural world originally gathered and prepared during their tour with James Cook on HMS Endeavour —would have made him expert in the field.

Incidentally, Banks' Florilegium is recognized as one of the great publishing efforts of all time. Despite the Florilegium copperplate engravings being done by engravers from Banks' time and being well over 200 years old, the drawings/prints are some of the best of kind ever produced (little wonder Fry attempts to match Banks' standard):

> Passkeys are not cross-vendor transferable!

They are when using a third party password manager like 1password or dashlane. At least in they are device agnostic. Haven‘t yet tried to export a passkey to another manager.
> source code portability is only a part of portability.

I broadly agree, but in this particular case:

1. LAME compiles just fine using multiple different compilers on Windows (including an older MSVC - newer ones will error out on the use of unsafe functions, fixed by passing a #define in a flag).

2. LAME has no dependencies to download.

3. LAME is successfully used from many other languages on Windows.

So, yeah, if it's not working for him but works for everyone else, you can't blame C for portability here.

OTOH, because LAME is written in C, you have even more options - don't compile it yourself. Download the compiled LAME .dll and just use it from Go.

Author didn't even try the easiest option, said easiest option being possible only because it was written in C.
There's also PAC/WPAD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Proxy_Auto-Discovery_Proto...). Together with some DHCP/ARP/DNS spoofing this might allow escalating from layer 2 connectivity (e.g. on a public wifi) to local root.

Lazarus uses LCL. I'd argue, it's one of the cases where the tool is actually more important than the library.

Funnily enough, there's also the Fresnel library in the works, and it uses CSS for layout.

I am a gdpr defender. I would like stricter enforcement.
Part of the reasoning here is that I’ve fixed a lot of style issues where someone allowed the content of an element to overflow its boundaries. While this might be ok in some contexts, it creates a lot of weird edge-cases in any moderately complicated page and the cause of the issue is invisible. With cropping, you can see the problem much more easily because the content is just cropped or otherwise cut out.

> But what GUI library does it use? The library is more important than whatever tool you're using to write the code.

That wasn't important to the GPs point, so how would I know to answer it?

This is what I responded to:

> > I'd rather use CSS than any other GUI system I've used over the years in C++, Java, Swift, etc.

I interpreted GPs comment to be only about preferences for GUI design, not about which implementation is better, or why.
>You can't run that Windows executable on Linux without Wine/Proton.

That's like saying you can't run Firefox without freetype. Requiring a dependency doesn't make you no longer native.

>Even a console application (no GUI) depends on operating system APIs.

But the same API can be handled by different operating systems or libraries.
If you've got the ability to spoof DHCP/ARP in a corporate network, you really don't need this subpar vulnerability to do damage. That's a massive pile of big ifs for the impact - - a socks5 connection alone would instantly trigger a SOC investigation.

Edit: To answer your response, @Ao7bei3s, all great and well theoretically.. I am looking forward to being wrong, and I am eager to see what you can come up with to root or exfiltrate my MacOS with this.
I think I disagree. As an IC, I have often experienced the problem of all the developers knowing who the critically weak developer is on the team, but nobody is willing to inform the manager of just how much of a problem the weak link is causing, and the manager doesn’t have the perspective or role to realize just how poor that teammate’s work is, despite generally understanding the hierarchy of ability / experience / output of the team.

And I say that as someone who thinks this forum tends to dunk on management a bit too much. My point is that workers do want to acknowledge that others workers are incompetent, and likewise for managers and their colleagues, but they are structurally and culturally disinclined to do so primarily from an information gap problem.

Oh, we can do a lot to make that planet inhospitable. You are right that it would take quite a while to reach anything resembling martian levels and we still have a magnetic core which helps with many things.

But I wouldn't underestimate the multitude of ways in which this planet could be made inhospitable by us.

We are trusting a lot on the self-correcting power of nature on this planet, but we just don't know if there isn't some tipping point after which there is no return.

This [1] might be a better example. C isn't Pascal, you can't just define a type of integer with a fixed range, so here, I check to ensure that the code above has done its job. I don't want an if statement here for this, for if the code above works, the if will never be triggered, and thus, as far as I'm concerned, is dead code.

Curious About DALL·E3: How Does It Seamlessly Integrate Text into Images?
Witnessing the development of AI-generated images, I have several questions that I'm really curious about. Firstly, I'm wondering how Midjourney and DALL·E managed to teach their models to learn finer details of objects. For instance, understanding the symmetry of human faces and that there are only five fingers on a hand. How is this level of control and perfection achieved through training?

Another thing I'm eager to know is how DALL·E3, the latest version, can seamlessly embed user-expressed text into images. The way it matches the style, font, and colors of the text to the image appears incredibly natural. Is this achieved through a single image generation model, or is there an additional text generator that synthesizes the text and establishes a connection with the original image before placing it back into the picture?

I apologize for not being able to find many articles that demystify or analyze these aspects online, which is why I'm asking here. If you have any insights, please feel free to share!
Web components are just custom html elements, with the option of an added shadowDOM. Oh, and slots. But that’s it. If you’ve got an interface component that you find yourself using over and over - like say a complicated multi select drop down type thing - maybe you just make it a custom element, define a custom class that controls it, and drop instances of it throughout your site, the same as you’d drop default <select>s.

Decided to try it out. After the installation, it asks to "create the library", share the analytics and log in - not exactly what I expected compared to other file explorers. Next, I decided to navigate to a random directory on one of my drives. After double clicking, nothing happened. Opening a dir with a context menu action did nothing too. Turns out 15k files in a directory make it effectively non-navigable. Total Commander and Window Explorer have no such issues. Spacedrive still has to iron out the basic file explorer features, it seems.

Lossless Cut: The Swiss army knife of lossless video/audio editing
Fear regulation. You solve for this the same way you solve for anaphylaxis: regulated exposure. Learn to embrace the fear in small doses and through frequent practice you will eventually have none. The term military people use is embrace the suck. If you do this enough you will eventually lose almost all your irrational cognitive fears, which unlocks capabilities other people find strangely and unexpectedly confident.

Nicomachean Ethics provides further details. As for fear itself read Laches and Charmides knowing that recklessness is not the absence of fear, but the absence of risk analysis. When you are confident and fearless you can account for risk without delay of action or hesitation of decision.

The other half is speech. Once you become confident you must modify your ability to speak in a way that reflects such confidence. You must think ahead, on one hand, in order to know what to say. On the other hand you must remain slow and in control to fully regulate your spoken words such that each word is deliberately delivered with the desired timing and emphasis. This takes practice, but is less challenging than it sounds. If you can write with confidence, you can speak with confidence. If you cannot write then I would work on that first.
