I recently became an openwrt user (new Dynalink $79 woot) and am happy, but it isn’t all sunshine and roses as folks tend to rave about it here.

First, the distribution is bare bones to the extreme by default. Like Linux in the 90s bones. Understood, some old routers are tiny, but it makes a RasbPi feel positively ergonomic. Lucky you can install packages pretty easily, like htop etc. Have to install the web gui of course.

Could be wrong but don’t think you can upgrade with a command like Debian. Have to save config and reflash again. Hope not.

Speaking of which, there’s all these config files like nothing you’ve ever seen before. Learning curve steep. Have to bond physical interfaces with APs manually. Odd defaults like wifi clients not allowed to talk to each other. Better get used to hunting online for settings. Fixing that required changing an obscure multicast setting, buried in the gui, not isolation. This is a home not a cafe. :-D

The wiki for my device was hard to follow, basically cut and paste from multiple forum posts with a few critical tidbits missing for a new user. I hunted them down.

I kept very good notes and intended to improve the wiki, but guess what? not editable. Oh and folks who ask questions told to read the wiki fully. I did read it twice at least and have a lot of other experience so trudged through. Had to make an account on one server and ask for account on wiki. Was ignored, got no notifications at least. Post expired.

Now it’s been two weeks… have forgotten a lot and wiki page still shiti. Not how FLOSS is supposed to work. So yeah, happy with it in general but lots of room for improvement.
not necessarily. so many products are bought from a top down approach where the end user is not the decision maker. i mean, how many times has a company's top managers purchased abysmally awful software, taht then needs to be used by it's employees. it happens govt all the time. our school district has purchased subscriptions to an absolutely awful online homework platform: it's clear the designers of this platform didn't do any usability studies. and now all the students and teachers in this district are screwed and forced to use this abomination.
MS could decide to prevent resale of next new game to be release on the PS like they did with Starfield. However, they are still significantly better than Sony, so can’t complain too much. This acquisition is probably a good thing for the game developers tho

I like the integrated telemetry and caching. It looks like the prompt formatter adds text to the system instruction - have you tried using function calling to get json responses? Does the retry mechanism validate against the zod schema?

The syntax choices are really nice here. It has a lot of what I would pick for a language. The one-liner test cases are awesome, <> for generics is comfortable since I use rust, sum types like elm are awesome. If I were to add something (well take it away really) its to use whitespace for array element separators. Eliminates the whole trailing comma issue and looks cleaner, though I admit it might create parsing ambiguities. 'try expr', returning (val,err) is curious and I think I like it better already than try {} catch {}.
For a contrarian argument, it is worth considering the advice of Michael Porter in his seminal study "Competitive Strategy: Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors" (published in 1980):

> Some argue that firms should not choose competitive positions at all but concentrate on staying flexible, incorporating new ideas, or building up critical resources or core competencies that are portrayed as independent of competitive position. I respectfully disagree. Staying flexible in strategic terms renders competitive advantage almost unobtainable. Jumping from strategy to strategy makes it impossible to be good at implementing any of them. Continuous incorporation of new ideas is important to maintaining operational effectiveness, but this surely is not inconsistent with having a firm strategic position (xv-xvi)... A strategic position is a path, not a fixed location (xiv).

In other words, there is no such animal as a "fully diversified" entrepreneurial business (unless your business is simply investing money in a diversified stock portfolio). The very concept of a (non-financial) capitalist enterprise implies some degree of specialization. Even YC, to some extent, specializes and focuses their investments in certain high-tech industries.

Reluctantly bought a MacBook Air few days back, literally trying to somehow use my too old last MacBook Air while I waited/hope for something like a Framework laptop. But then I eventually realised that being in a third world country means the enthusiast initiatives would never reach you in time and when they do they’d probably be obsolete, out of practical use and irrelevant for various reasons. Maybe that’s one of the reasons for not focusing on such markets.

4.10 still allows dual stacking core services like DNS but it is intended for NAT64 type deployment for other things (which I'm a fan of anyways! I'd encourage anyone to look into it while waiting for a different assignment, it's really quite good)... that said they are never going to be able to tell if your usage is from NAT64 or raw clients, not that I would condone lying in your application.

Are you implying that they do not produce more energy than they consume? Conventional commercial reactors release only a tiny fraction of the energy available in the fuel. Accelerator driven reactors make it possible to release more of it. They can also make effective use of thorium.
Damn. I live in Dallas. It's been a brutal year for heat. Pretty consistently triple digits in Fahrenheit up until a few weeks ago afte being that way the entire summer and some of late spring.

It seems senseless whatever these branch managers are pushing them for. 99% of the mail I get is unsolicited spam catalogs and magazines I never asked for, plus all the wannabe real estate investors sending fake personal postcards saying they want to buy my house. Straight from the mailbox to the trash and I guess people are literally dying to make sure we get it on time. All because the spam e-mail, SMS texts, sponsored television breaks, and phone calls aren't enough. Everyone with a marketing newsletter needs to make absolutely certain they have poisoned and turned useless every possible communications channel available to us.

USPS needs to implement blocklists. Let address owners provide a list of senders they don't want to receive anything from and just dump that shit as soon as you get it. Don't bother to deliver it and instantly cut your workoad at least in half.
We don't? Twitter sold for tens of billions, and it apparently costs hundreds of millions a year to run (or more). Those platforms also generate billions in ad revenues which means we're spending billions on that.
I definitely remember this in Byte in 1980 also, or at least an article by Zork authors on the same subject.

It's not spam, you've accepted the terms when registering. Now, you need to shut it off in Linkedin itself, not in the e-mail provider.

Real spammers don't give you an option to opt out, some even include fake "unsubscribe" option, which in reality, only confirms to them that the e-mail is active and valid.
Its not even good here: Step 5 needs clarification.

If someone really follows the plan its bad, but _wrong execution_ is even worse. Shooting into wrong areas of you head can end in a world of pain or being a living vegetable for many years instead of the desired outcome.

The idea that there's a "fair" market left in the US is an abject joke. At BEST, there are a handful of companies divvying up a market collusively. At worst, and increasingly commonly, we have effective duopolies that juuuust skate the currently en vogue legal definitions to create 2 different walled gardens. Name for me a market (of financial significance) which isn't currently dominated by two mini-monopolies, and I'll show you a private equity firm which is leveraging its ass off to try to capture it, and make it so.
With this model, the thief has already cashed out and washed their hands from this. It's now the secondary (or third) buyers of the crypto cashing out.
I think cruises is a more complex case.

First, let's agree that just because people want something does not necessarily mean the cause is worthy. For example, people want cigarettes but you would probably agree working for a tobacco companies is not pursuing a worthy cause.

Is producing ads a worthy cause? Maybe... companies have to somehow make the customers aware of their products.

Is creating videos en masse with no content and creating huge platforms to keep people glued to shiny rectangles just for ad impressions a worthy cause? I am pretty sure stealing astronomical amounts of hours from billions of people will be seen in the future as one of larger crimes committed in our times.

Ditto polarising entire societies and screwing up with our brains through exploiting human biases to keep engagement up on social media even though an official goal might be connecting people together.

I think it is fine to pursue a goal to make people happy and enjoy their lives. Unless this is just a cover story for really doing more harm to the society than good.
That's one of the main reason crypto is being promoted, freedom from central control.
This doesn't match my experience at all. It's leagues ahead of react native in memory usage, disk space, responsiveness etc.

Users are used to apps that don't look much like the out of the box platform toolkit by now. Even apple isn't very consistent about this anymore.

Native is better if course if you have the luxury of writing your app twice or three times but not many of us do.

Show HN: Learn languages faster with YouTube and podcasts
Hi, I made this web app to learn languages faster. I have always been interested in language learning, especially in finding the best ROI of your time when learning a language.

The app basically works this way:

* You listen to podcasts shows and YouTube channels of content you really care about, content you would watch normally in your native language.

* After each sentence, you try to imitate the native speaker, using the language shadowing technique. [1]

* You click a word to learn its meaning and usage in context, and mark words as known as you get exposed to more content.

The main idea is to immerse yourself in content you care about, and learn with context.
These are some of the techniques I’ve used before and I think are the best “bang for your buck” in terms of time invested. This is based on my experience, of course there can be better ways to become fluent faster, let me know.

Originally the app also included an “AI tutor”, a way to write and have a conversation in your target language. I found that I didn’t use the feature myself that much so I removed it. Let me know if you find value in such a feature and I can bring it back.

I tried to avoid “gamification”, but I included some stats that can help you track your progress.

Some technical challenges I found while building this:

* Most podcasts today use “dynamic ad insertion”, meaning that a podcast can have different content for the same URL, depending on the IP of the request or the time, that means I have to store a copy of the podcast so that the transcription matches to all the users.

* Originally I used Stripe, but Stripe is not a “merchant of record” (meaning they don’t collect taxes on your behalf) so I had to switch to Lemon Squeezy.

* I started building this using Nextjs 13 when the app router was not production ready, I ran into some issues with their aggressive caching strategy and decided instead to redo the whole thing and launch a Web + IOS + Android app using react native, sharing most of the codebase. I ran into issues there related to SSE on react native, and decided to just go back to Nextjs (now stable) and just launch it. (Moral of the story … just launch it :) )

So let me know what you think. I have been using it myself so far, so any real user feedback is valuable.

I can count the amount of non technical people I have met who use the navigation keys, on a single hand, and every single one of them has a finance related job.

Even most devs, particularly younger devs, never use navigation keys.
My experience has been this: if a company is funded by venture capital, my work helped zero people. If it was private/bootstrapped, somebody used and was helped by what I did, and many times was a key factor in the success of a company.
What does this mean in this context? Relying on microtransactions to hook whales? Releasing poor/rehashed products? Collecting huge amounts of personal data without permission to play a game that requires none of it?

I think we're way past "until"...
Right.

Per OS, ok, maybe people will use a different OS (finally! Year of the Linux desktop!)

I mean if the choice is between "installing black box MITM to signal", "pulling it from the EU google play store and requiring users to download the apk manually", and "pulling it from the EU google play store and allowing users to use fdroid" then the choice is obvious.

Mass adoption can continue elsewhere if the EU chooses to go down a route that would make play store support in the EU non-viable.
These systems don't rely on cryptographic hashes but in fact the reverse: content sensitive hashes.

They essentially take an image and scale it to a small thumbnail. The values of all those reduced pixels are the hash of the original image. When a new image is scanned it's just doing a similarity check against the database of those hashes of known "bad" images. A hit triggers checking against an image hash performed with a separate algorithm. Hits against multiple hashes triggers a "bad image alarm" and ruins a person's life.

Changing a few input bits in an image doesn't usually change the perceptual hash because they're meant to be resistant to small amounts of localized noise. It is possible to add noise that will change a perceptual hash. It's also possible to manipulate an image so transforms (scaling etc) get wildly different results.

This leads to two exploits. The first is an attacker manipulates a "good" image such that when hashed it matches perceptual hashes of a "bad" image. The attacker then sends a bunch of these to a target triggering the "bad image alarm" and essentially SWATs the target. The second is to manipulate bad images in a recoverable way to get them pasted bad image scanners.

China and every other country on the planet (including the US), is certainly exploiting it now, but the original intent of crypto had nothing to do with China.
No so far I've had a great experience with it. But keeping up with new improvements and changes to the underlying platforms is going to require ongoing investment. Hopefully google continues to think it's worth it.

Uh no. Buying out previously cross platform studios and then converting their titles to Microsoft only is absolutely not “strengthening competition”.

If Microsoft want to strengthen competition, they would stop burning their first party studios to the ground.

Maybe this is why :) https://i.imgur.com/odYgMpd.png
Disclaimer: This is just my intuition, I do not have knowledge about LoRA on small models.

It's possible that does not work. LoRA (for Low Rank) benefits from the "small changes" introduced during finetuning of a model. The update of the weights has a low rank. If you take a smaller model, it might induce that the rank is not so low, resulting in degradation in metrics by LoRA compression. I would be interested to see if LoRA still has a benefit in this configuration.
