I have an 89 BMW E30 that I bought with a lousy glitzy Panasonic head unit. I wanted to return the car to its original head unit, but I am a person of 2023, so naturally I want Bluetooth to go along with my tape deck.

Turns out some chap in Eastern Europe restores old BMW head units and outfits them with Bluetooth. $400 and a few weeks later, it arrived spic and span with some of the most user friendly install instructions I’ve ever seen. He even gave me the option to do things like have a custom display message or show current song info.

These kinds of experiences make it fun to be a techie car nut.
I remembering getting into 3D Studio Max and then being told about Bryce for making pretty landscape art. I opened Bryce and it felt so playschool like and not in a good way for someone who was accustomed to 3D studio max interface and tools that allowed so much more. Bryce was geared towards particular used I guess.
it's not all that easy to generate high quality/consistent high pressure hydraulic pressure quietly either, though.

This is a much better thought out version of a project I made by necessity last year using github actions.
It was for batching PRs when maintaining related open source repos as they grew, I especially like the ability to run on a local repo- gh actions made that very difficult and I suffered as a result haha
Thanks for sharing!
That's more practical than wheel motors. Also, with pickups, there's room under the bed for the battery.

Ford has a new electric truck platform in development, the "T3". This is supposedly electric from the ground up, unlike the F-150 and Ford Transit, which are modified versions of gas vehicles.

Remote alerts from Mac address on tomato router
Is it possible to configure Tomato OS (on a router) to send an alert (e.g. email) to alert me when a specific MAC address has joined the network ?

Would it possible to do the same thing even if that MAC address was just sniffed, but not granted access to join ?

There are several reasons why you may take all of your health advice from statistical language models.
It's interest rates that are screwing the worker. When they say they're fighting inflation they mean wage 'inflation.' When wages go up working class people are more able to repay their loans without incurring penalties and interest, which isn't good for mortgage companies or banks. Don't confuse the two, the interests of capital and working people are necessarily at odds when it comes to interest rates.
I dont want to oversell it, having really only seen what I might consider marketing material... I'm pretty sure they're only using a CS hash for the database, where the photo hash is similar to photodna, and they're only adding some indirection.

My assumption was something like sha_something(photodna(image))
Misinformation Is Warfare
The inflation we're starting to see over the same timespan, makes that comparison harder to evaluate.

Who is trying to make time series forecasting with LLMs/tensors? I have seen like four posts in the last few days. I know LLMs/transformers are really cool but I do not think they are the silver bullet that solves this.
You can always cook off the liquid. It'll start browning when the pan begins to dry. Just make sure you add oil so it doesn't stick. With ground beef it's really not a problem to fully cook the meat in liquid before browning it.

Nakba Law

Cloud sync is fine with me, but required cloud sync is so annoying when i download an app for local testing and it forces a login before i can even use it. Definitely interested
Yes, verification (or trust) is crucial. Those posts may have elided the verification process they did, though. Unless we look at a specific post it'd be hard to discuss it.

To be more specific, I trust GPT-4 to handle tasks like "Rewrite this C++ struct into Rust". I still verify that it's correct as part of a normal code review process, but I trust GPT-4 in that scenario at least as much as I would a junior dev.
I’m worried the same kind of attack will make this[1] CSAM removal project useless. If there is no authentication of the submitter and no punishment for fake submissions, then it becomes garbage-in, garbage-out.

"ChatGPT starts injecting ads in text responses"

This is a misleading headline. This isn't about ChatGPT injecting adverts, it's a demonstration of a prompt injection attack hidden in a blank image.

Bought BTC $200 worth end 2017 sold for $600 end 2018 got a 2nd hand pixel 1 off the profits.

It's gambling. No trade I did across the window felt any different to pulling a 1 armed bandit lever. All the trend and trade analysis I thought I was doing was pure guesswork, prices were being set and met by other people and I was subject to the effect of fees on small holdings, far more than actual market moves aside from the gross 3x increase across the period.

I did it as a learning exercise. Obviously if I'd followed my sons suggestion and bought $1000 in the early 2000s (neither of us bought, I dissuaded him) I might feel different but I do think overall it's just gambling, looking for another dupe to cash out on.
The difference is huge. In practice you get a different set of laws if you have more money. They are more favorable to you. You get to have your life saved. You get to influence politics, through lobbying and political campaign contributions. You get to avoid tax to a greater extent. You get to set up your kids to be rich too - they are default set up, no "American Dream" gauntlet for them to run. Etc. etc.
They’re arguing that it’s part license part contract, not that it isn’t a license at all. The rest is as you say.
My argument here (<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37869476>) is that across all OSes, and for the Web generally, being mindful of monochrome, low-refresh-rate displays is something that should be front-of-mind for UI/UX teams and design.

Many of these issues already exist, e.g., for documents which are likely to be printed on monochrome devices. Colour is useful where available, but it is not universally available.

(And that's before addressing issues such as colourblindness or other disability / accessibility considerations.)

My original comment was not at all specific to Apple (you'd introduced them to the discussion), other vendors, or any specific OS or application. Simply that monochrome and e-ink are increasingly concerns.

But since you raised the topic of Apple, and since, contrary to your initial statement that, broadly speaking, monochrome was "a display technology they never used", I'm both correcting the record, and noting that should there be a monochrome or e-ink prospect on Apple's roadmap, and further noting that Apple rather famously does not announce such roadmaps in advance, that flat/white would in fact fit with e-ink remarkably well.

What that has to say about whether or not Apple is contemplating any such move I am, of course, entirely ignorant.
I have this exact issue and have ling considered some tagging based system for my images but never got around to it. Sounds cool!
It has "poor" performance relatively speaking, I guess, but on mine I'm playing all of my games with settings fairly high at 1080p at 100+ fps on my RX 6600.

Holy moley, that does explain those 4 skinny dudes on horses I saw the other night. This'll enable crazy large single-VI spaghetti monsters. There'll need to be a Guinness record for geometrically largest VI.

I'd believe it. These things are huge. Also a single main rotor blade costs $500k.
Tell HN: Reading old forum threads and abandoned Reddit profiles makes me sad
Every now and then, I find myself going down a rabbit hole of old forum threads and Reddit posts during a Google search. It's oddly sad when I come across accounts that haven't been active for a long time. It feels like wandering through an abandoned town, where every empty house used to be full of life. These threads contain bits and pieces of people's lives - their hopes, dreams, worries, and questions - and it's quite moving to see these incomplete stories and the silent echoes of their past online presence.

These old conversations bring back memories of how the internet used to be, sparking a strong sense of nostalgia. They remind me of the simpler times of the past and how our online interactions have evolved over the years. The combined feeling of nostalgia and the noticeable absence of the once-active users heighten a sense of loss and sadness.
Good call. I've been using GrapheneOS for the last three years, and I recommend it highly.

Israel bombing Gaza and targeting civilians for the last couple of decades led to deaths. Israel didn't and doesn't care.
The memory bandwidth could be interesting?

Going after pure gamers seems like a rough market for Intel to enter. But maybe with the extra compute and the memory bandwidth, they are actually going after devs and other professionals who also game sometimes? That seems like a good niche for them, at least to start chipping away at.
Yes, but I would say a few parks have been sold for condo development not many. Makes it important to choose a park where either the residents own the land collectively, or the municipality supports lower cost housing and has rent control on the space rent - e.g. San Jose limit of 3% per year increase. There are also horror stories like the park at Natural Bridges near Santa Cruz where a new gazillionaire owner jacked up the space rents to $5000/month - admittedly this is right on the ocean.
Related to this, using white ceramic pans comes with an interesting chalenge: they look dirty but with no impact on the food.

The white surface gets brown spots that are crazy hard to remove, but that also means it won't get to the food you prepare. So you have to make peace with having no good visual indication of how sufficiently clean the pan is.

I kinda came to assume the dark pans have the same issue, it's just not visible.
> In the US, it is a federal crime to boycott Apartheid Israel.

To elaborate on what seems like a wild claim - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-BDS_laws:

Most anti-BDS laws have taken one of two forms: contract-focused laws requiring government contractors to promise that they are not boycotting Israel; and investment-focused laws, mandating public investment funds to avoid entities boycotting Israel. [..]

The Anti-Boycott Act of 2018 [..] does not target boycotts against Israel specifically, but makes it illegal to “comply with, further, or support any boycott fostered or imposed by any foreign country, against a country which is friendly to the United States” [..] and as the Office of Antiboycott Compliance notes “The Arab League boycott of Israel is the principal unsanctioned foreign boycott that U.S. persons must be concerned with today.”

The lack of updates beyond 2-3 years on Android is pitiful. If the manufacturer will not certify new updates after a period of time, they should support moving to another version of the OS that supports updates.

Repair costs are ludicrous. My 4 year old phone has a crack on the corner of the front glass. Repair shops are quoting me $250 to repair it. I can find old new stock of the same phone for less.
I think there's a massive portability difference, plus managing the hoses is a safety issue. I have an electric chainsaw, and always have to keep an eye on where the power cord is.

Microsoft definitely takes the Halo esports scene seriously, so running an esport well is definitely in their skillset. Hopefully those people are paying attention and want to get promoted.
> I think most people in the suburban US have no idea what a public, car-free, communal space where people can casually gather without buying something even is.

The place where I grew up had a town center with offices above shops, and plenty of open areas for people to gather; it was designed for being a "third space."

Then (a few years before COVID), it went under new management who was livid that so many people were spending time there without shopping and they did various things to make it much less desirable to go there if you aren't shopping. About 30% of the stores/restaurants went out of business in a year. Turns out, for the right sized pies, a large slice of a smaller pie is worse than a small slice of a larger pie.
Not if you route it through a flexible hose a couple feet long. Not as bad, at least.
> You mean the 6 month 2% core inflation

Those numbers are highly dubious if my shopping experiences are anything close to those of the average person.
Electronics have done 25% inflation over this time, or more.
Pure gamers are the perfect market to target if they can sell budget cards with ever improving driver support. Even AMD's low end is laughably expensive these days (in terms of $/perf as well as pure cost), so there's a large market of people who buy budget cards that's being neglected by the existing market.
Huh. TIL tuna fish are warm blooded.
For the first question, according to [1] gasoline uses 9000L air per liter of gas and a liter of gas runs a chainsaw for an hour ish, something like 150 L/minute. This is an order of magnitude higher than humans or so, so a scuba tank that lets you dive for an hour would only let you chainsaw for maybe 5-10 minutes?

As realtime OCRing from a phone is getting better, I wonder how hard it would be to have a glass mounted camera paired with the phone to read aloud any text that is pointed at by the user's finger.

Evolution happens when the distribution of genes in one generation differs from the distribution of genes in the previous generation. It happens every generation without fail.
The problem is, the US changes administrations every four years. By far the late 60s and 70s lacked supporting of these friendly regimes, with vietnam and all and then carter really messed up a lot countries by his non-interference (but maybe that's what americans wanted at the time?).

The intent may have been good but regimes don't self-sustain without their original support easily. Unwillingness to finish what they started and taking half-measures to avoid pissing off the american public I think was their real fault. Even in recent years, Israel was more than willing to start a fight with Iran before they matures their nuclear program but it is the US fearing involvement that is holding them back. Maybe in a few years the world would have to deal with Iranian ICBMs. What happens when they try to nuke tel aviv? Does the US nuke Tehran? Is that better than what Israel would have done?
Thousands of times, surely? At least if we're talking Americans, very few people have total lifetime expenditure less than hundreds of thousands I'd think. 100k is 2k a year for 50 years, even a million is only 20k.

SONICblue bought them and rebranded the product “Rio Car”. I had one of the original empeg units, and it was amazing. Nice cool conversation starter. And it was built strong. It still worked deep in the 2000s when I lost track of it maybe during a move. Sad, they are a cool piece of Linux history.
Turning public infrastructure into rockets to fire into neighboring countries led to deaths, too. Perhaps warnings about that would be appropriate too? I dunno, I'm no expert, but it seems like the kind of thing that annoys others.
No water for the walk, no oil for the drive, no electricity to even receive the communication reliably, and no infrastructure to receive 1 million people on the receiving end. It is not a good faith demand. It is setting up a narrative and excuse for what's to come.

If you read between the lines, the employer isn’t happy with the author’s work.

The employer supported their travel preferences before, but now the project is in a hell of delayed progress for all kinds of reasons.

But on another topic, it might be nice if airlines offered options to fly on odd routes and/or an extended standby system that could guarantee that your flights are being taken on seats that either were unexpectedly unfilled or on routes with consistently low occupancy rates that have to be run (e.g., the kind of trips where the plane needs to be moved from one place to another but there isn’t sufficient passenger demand).
Kind of a crossover thing from the blind cooking post, but it's interesting that they have smaller eyes and smaller brains.

Basically, if you assume that vision requires a lot of compute power to process, and that compute power (that is, brains) are major energy users, those with simpler vision processing needs use less energy.

It's kind of a first principles thing I suppose. What uses a lot of energy? Brain. What is the brain doing a lot? Managing vision. Idea? Reduce vision input.
1% is an extremely generous claim. With Australia's spying program 'metadata retention' for example, the bill was sold as being for terrorism and CSAM and is now routinely used by local governments to hunt down people littering.

Yup. Slippery slope from terrorism & CSAM all the way down to littering.

Not to mention it has been routinely abused by police and spies to stalk girlfriends and other such egregious violations.

The EU is far more incompetent so expect this on a far broader scale.
> So as long as one has some body fat, and the metabolic flexibility to access it, fasting should not cause wasting, as those normal cells are not starving?

Wasting occurs in cancer patients whether they're fasting or not! The nutrients the patients need are drawn off by the cancer.

I see no reason to believe that cancer patients would experience less wasting if they stopped eating...?

Probably silently wrong values happening in memory somewhere. If it's not in something where that value is not actively running code code, you probably won't have a crash.

If it's in (say) Excel calculation formula it'll probably just screw up the calculation. Which may or may not be obvious. Similar thing for 3D cad, it could be completely non-obvious.
