>and before someone decides to ackshually correct me, we've been breeding dogs for docility for over 10,000 years

Some breeds were specifically bred for fighting, so I don't agree with this at all. Also, some breeds are bred for hunting, some for herding, etc.; these are not "docile" tasks. I think it's more accurate to say that dogs have been bred to be subservient to humans for 10k years. But even here, there's plenty of dogs specifically trained to be violent with humans: German Shepherds are notorious for this, as well as Rottweilers, which is why they're used for military/police work.

But I completely agree about humans having a higher bar for taking care of themselves, and also we expect them to have a conscience and "do the right thing" and not cause needless destruction, and to work for the greater good.
There was no “first” KitKat! What a silly strange deranged heretical thought!

Perhaps you are confusing the (discarded, and rightly so!) Unified Linear Field Theory with the (universally accepted, as it should be!) Unified & Closed Modular Field Theory?

Time ultimately, like all dimensions, is a meaningless loop. Of Kit-Kat’s.

Leaving only one last physics question to settle definitively, by prose, coercion, poison, blade, and projectile: Do the Kit-Kats form a Dünkin torus or a Möbius strip?

Entire schools of sugary confectionary thought hang in the balance!
Yeah, in a world where DMCA exists (guilty until proven innocent... with no process to prove that for normal people), whining about EU is really out of the line.

It took me a while to even begin to understand what Qbix is trying to sell people on. In my humble opinion the website is a disaster, especially on mobile. After a few minutes all I could gather was that it claims itself to be a "social operating system" (nice buzzword). After exploring the GitHub readme it got a bit clearer but it kinda "just" seems like WordPress but for websites seeking out more user interaction?

I have not looked into it too deeply, but I also have not seen any mention of any sort of open standards that would lift Qbix from being another vendor to be locked into. No OID/OID Connect, ActivityPub, etc. Instead it mentions integration with Facebook of all things.
Where is the openness?

First of all, feelings are not imaginary, even though they are non-physical, and despite many people not getting them, or having a bad relationship with some of them.

Second, the tree was a landmark. This significance gave it tangible value, as it would attract tourism, which will now be lost.
Looking forward to this. You can probably submit it to HN separately and it'll get heavily upvoted!
Waging war on cars is waging war on the economy. The economy is our life support system.

Aggressively pushing bikes as the only future of transport is kind of ableist. Fine for healthy young people, in flat areas, on dry days. But not for the elderly, disabled, or unfit.

And public transport options need to be safe and comfortable. That doesn't fit with currently-trendy soft on crime policies.
Buying a computer and using it for daily activities is inherently trusting whoever made that computer.
That’s what I guessed from the article, especially when I read that it only works with breakpoints but in this case is there a reason to not call this "debug mode" ? Because it sounds confusing.

Or maybe there are other usages than just debugging ?
Not just a prototype - that article says several models were on the market.

You don't fill your tank with water. You fill it with high-pressure hydrogen produced elsewhere.

What you describe is thermodynamically impossible. It takes energy to separate hydrogen from oxygen - more than you get from burning the hydrogen generates water.

The article you link to says "Most hydrogen today is derived from fossil fuels like natural gas", so hydrogen cars weren't really a 20th-century alternative to fossil fuels.

Yes, hydrogen can be made from non-fossil sources. So can diesel fuel.
Internally big game teams are pretty indistinguishable from any other larger tech team in how they operate in the large. There’s quite a bit of cross-pollination between the two as well and the whole is driven by wider business culture anyway. In my experience that ends up in being very process rather than results led which is definitely ends up with some perverse incentives.
This observation doesn't only apply to games development, but also to software development in general, e.g. web apps. If every developer working on a project is specialized (DevOps, backend, frontend - even for frontend there are some that only specialize in HTML/CSS and some in JS), they tend to only concentrate on their domain and lose sight of the big picture of how the app should work (or never have that big picture at all), which hurts the quality of the finished product.
I'm running everything on my own PC. With a 3060 12 GB at under $300, it's very cheap to build a system capable of running inference with smaller models.

But even bigger models (13B or 30B) can be handled with a dual GPU setup (24 GB total memory at < $600), with quantization.

The Discord bot works as a client (outgoing connection to the Discord public server), so it can run from behind NAT.
This is a silly distinction, if they have just as much data but it's encrypted and they can't use it, most people would call that less data.
I haven’t tried enhancing anything this old and crusty before so don’t hold your breath!

I think it's safe to say that Google has had a prominent position, and that they have indeed abused that position to gain an unfair market advantage over other companies due to ad placement and strategic cooperations. I'm sure Google will remain the top search engine despite this anti-trust case though, at least if they can keep up with the competition.
> Like happyweasel said, it's basically webmin for Red Hat.

Seems pretty cool to me, "meet your users where they are" and all that.

I actually wonder what other options for this sort of web based management panel there are out there, maybe more DEB oriented ones.
Well encrypted data is practically useless to the collector. They could just as well be a random noise. Metadata may be worth something, but not nearly as much.

However if one wants to run something like this in production, it would make more sense to use a server with at least an A10, which has better performance per power consumption.
What is Google's biggest moat these days?
> I don't know about MacOS and Windows nowadays but most linux/BSD window managers + Haiku allows one to move or resize a window using a keyboard shortcut so that you can do it regardless of where you put the cursor.

Except this is an X11 feature, and they're all frantically switching to Wayland... Which probably doesn't have that feature, right?
After using Segger's RTT and SWO and stuff, nothing beats a plain old high speed UART pin for "basic" debugging. You can start up the UART, send your message and if there is inactivity after X milliseconds close the UART and the power consumption is back to microamps. It works with any micro and usb-serial chip so no lock-in with ARM or Segger related tools.

However for some tasks such as proper debugging, stepping, or inspecting interrupt vectors while printing messages fast, native tools are the way to go.
Show HN: I made an API that lets you gamify your app in just 5 min
Yep. Unfortunately this is pretty normal. I would be fine with it, if it meant I get immunity from persecution when distributing pirated content. Unfortunately that would go against corporate rent seeking.
Basically we'd feel unbearably sad all the time, if we'd care about things unfiltered. So filtering must go on. After all, the existence of feelings is to support a social cohesion, which in turn enhances the chance of survival. It doesn't make evolutionary sense for feelings to not have bounds. So, there are bounds - feelings usually intensify with close proximity, and there is a bunch of mechanisms that quell feelings and empathy, like dissociation. What you're seeing is just these mechanisms in work. The very concept of fairness, and so unfairness, also only exists in humans. And we don't even agree on what that entails, just that all of us feel this to a degree.
Great, now you will see how that looks.
That's what was said about the horse and buggy.

Evolution's an actual thing, you know, both for living forms and for technology.

The circulation of resources, goods, and energy is our life support - the economic assumption that growth is unlimited and GDP is a good metric is just a fad of the last century or two.
Reasonably well written on combinatorics, but it's funny to see Chomsky and structural linguistics in there, when he's still around. We're still not quite at self modifying language machines though, due to the enormous computational effort needed even for fine tuning.

Every new startup sends their capital to Google to buy ads for their business. You make a new product, want to sell, where do you go? Marketing. Facebook and Google are the two silverback gorillas in online advertising. So, still ads.
I think Google just pays Mozilla to give the semblance of competition - Firefox usage is a blip on the radar these days.

I guess it depends on where Chrome ends up. As part of Google, payments would continue. As an independent venture, not a chance.
They never owned up to it. Like every other fucking apple defect recall, it's a secret you have to know to ask for.

My system developed the problem, I was about 2 years out of the warranty, and by the time I heard of the double-secret recall, it had ended.

They didn't even provide for all the machines affected, just a subset of models.

An apple store rep or genius will lie to your face that there's nothing they can do about a particular issue, but come back and ask a different employee with the magic words for the secret recall and it gets taken care of.

It's fucking bullshit. Apple is rolling in piles of cash and they pull this shit to pinch a few pennies here and there.
Ask HN: Are gut problems behind everything?
I have autoimmune diseases, and I'm in a constant search for lifestyle changes which could potentially improve my condition. If you start to read up on health issues like this, you really quickly end up reading about food sensitivities, leaky gut, gut biome problems, and inflammation.

However, if you go to a doctor, then there is 95% chance that you won't hear about any of these. Alternative medicine was always around, but this feels like an alternative but somehow scientific (or maybe just pseudoscientific) parallel universe. It sounds intriguing (because it makes me believe that my officially incurable diseases are actually curable), but I have this general uneasy feeling that I can not understand this phenomenon.

Is this "gut problems are behind everything" theory is just simply quackery? Or is this just that we are more connected to new information, and these are just the ongoing changes in the scientific knowledge, which will be picked up later by the slow moving medical protocols? Or is this just some cherry picked information, which is not really relevant, because we could cherry pick other stuff too if those would be our personal preference? What is happening here? I consider myself a science geek, I would generally avoid unproven alternative therapies, but here I start to have the feeling that something real is going on and the doctors are just lazy to pick it up. But I may be completely mistaken by my wishful thinking! Some signs are surely positive, e.g. lots of articles in medical journals about the topic. Some other signs are suspicious, e.g. the whole detoxification and anti-vaccine vibes surrounding these concepts. Also the dieting ideas in this scene are so contradictory, that it makes me feel that this has nothing to do with science (lots of vegetables vs carnivore vs AIP vs mediterran etc).

Please, medical professionals of HN, let me understand this phenomenon.
I'd say either Chrome, Android or YouTube.
The most worthless jackpot or proof that /dev/random Is bad
Completely agree. I was just commenting on this earlier today: instead of complaining about American big tech incessantly, the EU needs to actually develop viable software products that users want to use. Until they figure out how to do that for more than just CRUD websites, they have no alternatives.

I do think that antitrust should stop big tech companies from acquiring potential competitors (or all their customers) though. Facebook should not have been allowed to acquire WhatsApp. Microsoft should not have been allowed to acquire Activision.
Perhaps I am just very lucky but I got my 15 Pro Max on Wednesday just gone and it's been nothing short of fantastic. I upgraded from a Xs Max which was 5 years old and it is a superb upgrade imho. Battery life has been excellent getting me a near two full days use even with me setting the charge limit to 80% with the new option in settings. And I've not had the hot device issues I've seen a few reports of. Going for a run on Saturday the device stayed cool while tracking my run. Taking a bunch of pictures, etc. All has been just fine as expected. So far I am very happy with it.

I find it hard to believe anyone is getting burn in on a device that hasn't even been in consumers hands for a month yet. I'm sure it is possible but even the cheapest OLED panels take time to get burn in.

I haven’t tried this myself but I wonder if Jellyfin’s SyncPlay feature would work well for this. And as for adding YouTube videos, there are quite a few options, I would try Jdowloader.

> I remember when people were deriding Windows XP for being "Fisher-Price" in appearance and preferring to run Windows 2000 because it was more stable

Yeah, most people apparently never noticed the Control Panel setting in XP where you could with one click activate the W95/NT4/W2K interface in stead of the "Fisher-Price" one. Worked in Vista and Windows 7 too, but there they started to remove ever more of the detailed UI customisation settings from the Control Panel. (For a while, you could change them by editing the Registry, but towards the end of W7's lifetime, at least some of those didn't take effect any more.)
Luckily governments are not a monolithic and coherent block. France for example was an early backer of matrix..

So if the worst happens and a mandatory chat control will gets implemented by the government, then it is a good thing that other parts of the government helped making sure, there are working alternatives avaiable, that are not so easy to regulate.
Does the vision-language-model process raw image data, or does it process OCR character output?
It's a very useful tool to manage libvirt + KVM remotely without trawling through poorly documented XML, it's accessible from any platform - even an iPad, and it requires next to no setup (basically install the package and add a cert and you're done).

I consider these big pluses, I use Cockpit on Debian on my servers that run VMs rather than something like Proxmox, because 1. it's much less invasive, 2. the machines tend to run other things too, like docker containers.

Have been using it for this since ~2019.

The stats views are useful too, but I wouldn't install it for that on it's own.

edit: and honestly, there's not another good (maintained!) option that fits the niche of 'let me create libvirt VMs from a web browser on a single machine without taking over my whole system'.
Only physical facts that do not affect our subjective consciousness. For example if the earth is flat or round.

Actually, let me make a stronger statement than before: Even for scientific facts the statement is weak. If I stop believing that the world is round, then what does it mean that the „roundness“ will not go away? From my point of view it certainly goes away and the world _will be_ flat. In order to accept that it is, objectively, not flat I have to accept other information, often information that I do not check or verify myself.

But subjectively, if I really stop believing the world is round then for sure it will start to feel flat.

So this criterion is not a good one.

I think it only is useful in the world of „succeeding“. So for example I may believe that a vaccination is dangerous and as a consequence I may die if unvaccinated. This is an example of reality not going away. Or I may believe that I can pass a test without studying but then I don‘t and so that‘s reality, again.
I was curious how well it would work, so here's the summarize result from Kagi:

Philip K. Dick explores questions about what is real and how reality can be manipulated through advanced technology and propaganda. He is fascinated by these topics and writes fiction exploring them.

Dick believes that bombardment by fake realities can turn people into "spurious humans" who no longer know what is real. Fake realities breed fake humans.

Scenes and elements from Dick's novels sometimes mirrored or predicted real events, even though he did not intend them to. This included mirroring biblical stories which he was unfamiliar with.

Dick had vivid experiences where he seemed to relive or foresee scenes from his own novels, like a man hiding behind a tree outside his home.

He wonders if our universe started as an illusion but God is slowly making it real through love and wisdom.

Manipulating words is a powerful tool for manipulating reality, as George Orwell showed in 1984.

Reality and fiction blur together, with fiction mimicking truth and truth mimicking fiction.

Ancient philosophers like Heraclitus, Xenophanes and others had insightful views on reality and God's role that modern people simplify.

Ordinary people say no to tyrants through small acts of resistance like Dick mailing a fortune cookie slip to the White House.

A metal lantern Dick was given echoed the shape of a fish, reminding him of biblical stories in strange ways.
I don't like this article. What will happen if Agile people all of a sudden stop preaching Agile or slightly rename it to Extreme Programming or something? how will we know then who's not a qualified project/product manager? how can we filter out orgs that don't know what they are doing?

Agile is super-useful. As a filter. Let's not break this, please.

"Opposition to felling ancient trees is a peculiar cause because it seems to unite progressives and conservatives. There is something about taking the life of a being far older than the span of any human life, which has taken many centuries to reach such a size and whose roots and branches support entire ecosystems in miniature, that seems morally repugnant to many. [...]

"It may well make no logical sense, as many have pointed out, to be more upset at the felling of one picturesque tree than at the destruction of whole rainforests. Yet, that is how humans are, for better or worse: we connect emotionally with individuals. The capacity of trees to embody a sort of individuality — to be anthropomorphised, if you like — may go some way towards explaining why our ancestors held them sacred. It is surely the reason why in our own day trees are amongst the most potent symbols of humanity’s unbalanced relationship with nature: dumb victims of our rapacious disregard for living beings with a much longer life cycle than our own."

I would go further and say that most companies would prefer to solve issues via specializing instead of generalizing. For example, if there is a quality problem most products would hire someone with QA experience or create a QA team instead of increasing general QA competence. It's just a more tangible solution, even if not always the best one.
