I think anyone blaming Israel for Hamas's action or supporting students who made such a callous statement is on the wrong side of history. Whatever happened in the past doesn't justify brutality and savagery against civilians. People supporting such statements or trying to protect students who did are wrong and should apologize. Should these students be left to harm against angry, racist or emotional people? No, of course not. But not acknowledging how wrong their statement was is just irresponsible for any dialogue for peace. Realistically, there can be no peace if both sides are not pressured to it in some form. Dialogue is preferable.
is this satire? I honestly can’t tell.
The default on Hue bulbs is to reset to mid-bright white when first turned on. This means whenever you flip the switch on the light turns on, and obviously if you turn the switch off the light turns off. So, they essentially do let the switch be a switch by default.
Multiple governments have already come to feel that the sort of rhetoric that appears at these demonstrations, like chanting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”, crosses the line into advocacy of genocide and are not mere opinions. Advocacy of genocide has been forbidden since long before COVID happened.

It’s important to remember that after the Holocaust, European nations have a special responsibility to the Jewish people, and therefore they often err on the side of caution in preventing that people from being targets of potentially genocidal rhetoric.
Godot 4.2 Beta 1
When the ChatGPT API was released 7 months ago, I posted a controversial blog post that the API was so cheap, it made other text-generating AI obsolete: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35110998

7 months later, nothing's changed surprisingly. Even open-source models are trickier to get to be more cost-effective despite the many inference optimizations since. Anthropic Claude is closer to price and quality effectiveness now, but there's no reason to switch.
The scare quotes are disingenuous. However we may dislike or disapprove of Google's algorithms, it is absolutely accurate to describe the results as personalized.
The criticism is that cryptoassets do not, in practice, have the censorship resistance they are billed as having. Blaming "tradfi" is passing the buck - cryptoasset promoters signed a check they couldn't cash, and no one made them do that. There are myriad rebuttals you could make, but dismissing it entirely isn't one of them, imho.

This is the libertarian equivalent of claiming that Soviet Russia wasn't real communism. Sure, in both cases, things weren't realized in the way they had been envisioned. If proponents want to be successful in the future, they need to reckon with that and not shirk it.
How does the rate of conflict in those places compare to the past few decades? I have no context to evaluate if 8 coups in Africa since 2020 is high relative to history.
I am more of the opinion that things were actually simpler before, even with analog TV. You knew what to expect. Now you pay 70$ per month, but hey, the file (?) you are streaming (?) contains an advertisement. Who cares?

I just want to watch a show. Without ads, because I paid to have no ads.

But hey we're a young generation, so we understand that it's not Youtube's fault... (?). Sorry, but no way! You are the service provider - you choose what goes through your platform. When I pay, you can't treat me like "you're (still) the product, sorry". That's for me unacceptable.
Well kinda. It’s more like a Java to js compilation than just a transpilation.
And that is why I dislike the label 'sprint'. A sprint is a short (unsustainable) extreme effort, not something that you do continuously.
I am so displeased by the Pro! I paid for it and it was a huge download that's not being updated. I've never wasted money so foolishly!

Ah yeah, Carlos is very low on cycles (like all of us I guess), probably due to the day job. (If only OSS had competitive pay...)
Man, the negativity in here is unreal!

I just wanted to chime in and say thanks for writing this, and I feel seen. It describes my daily feelings to a T. I see open source projects with their great test coverage and their principled refactors, and some days I am that person too! I’ll get a burst of Do It Right energy and just knock out a ton of nice well-built stuff. And then one day all of that energy vanishes and, like the author, I CBF. Tests get skipped, code gets bolted into places I know aren’t great, and I just overall start paving the way for something I know Future Dave won’t thank me for. And even though I’m seeing it happen in real time, I don’t have the energy/motivation/whatever-it-is to get back into an inspired Do It Right mode.

(And this is all for software that I write and sell on my own.)

It was inspiring to see that the author is the creator of Lazygit. If you’re reading this, dude I LOVE lazygit so much. I’ve turned friends onto it who love it too. In my mind you’re in the category of open source maintainers who somehow always manage to Do It Right.
How does this compare to FoundryVTT? I use that for self hosting online sessions and it's been amazing. Will definitely check this out!
Perf tools: Introduce data type profiling
Actually I think we have evidence there isn't any existence after death. Many religions claims various different things. Does everyone just get their own wish fulfillment? Probably not.

There are various random claims of proof of something happening after death, contradictory and with no real evidence. When there's no evidence, and people make very contradictory claims while claiming absolute evidence but having now, .... it's probable that there's nothing happening. I'd like to imagine my deceased loved ones are still around somewhere, but I don't think they are.
> This is one of the reasons that smart bulbs and the like are generally bad - you never want a situation where the switch doesn't just act like a switch.

Depends on your devices, but I have (Philips?) smart bulbs that can be turned on/off "regularly", but keep it on and you can control it via google home.
There is violent rhetoric at all rallies related to this war, pro-Israel rallies included. Most people do not say such terrible things, some people do say them, and the opposition paints the whole rally as endorsing that stance. That’s the way it goes.
Once a population is ok with censorship, they enable censorship, so eventually it will be a loss. That's what's happening right now.
You raise the issue with the decision makers but if they decide not to prioritize it I wouldn't personally take responsibility.

Show HN: I made a tool that extracts Google autosuggestions for keyword research
I built a free keyword research tool that extracts hundreds to thousands of Google's autocomplete suggestions that appear when you type into a search box. It's really helpful for finding new topics or getting long tail keyword ideas that you can import into keyword research tools. This tool is 100% free with no signup required so feel free to toy around with it.
Weight and volume were defined based on the meter. Volume is just expressed in m³ or litre, which is just 1/1000 of 1 m³. Mass was originally defined such that 1 kg of water is the mass of one litre of pure water at sea level.

How are you determining par for the course liq preference of 1.0? Where does that data come from? I ask genuinely as the small sample of companies I know of personally have liq preferences greater than 1.
Don't even attempt to muddy the waters like this. Zemmour has been sued many times, yes, but only convicted twice. The first time, for example, for saying "businesses should discriminate against blacks and Arabs". He was convicted for incitement to discrimination, an offense in many countries. In fact: he was sued for several things he said, like "traffickers are all black and muslim" which he was acquitted for, as while reproachable falls within freedom of expression. Again: only convicted for things which directly contravene specific laws, such as non-discrimination in hiring.

In sum, nothing to do with tfa.
Not all of these ideas I have implemented, but here are some things you can do.

- remote control to turn on/off lights in bed

- Bed sensor to turn on/off lights when heading to the bathroom at night

- define a scene (lights dimmed, shades down, mood lights on) to trigger in an event (Netflix turned on TV at 8pm)

- Remote control of wall AC unit out of the house (shut off while away but turn on before driving home)

- Alerts for when my brother turns on the coffee maker

- Control system to avoid coffee maker and microwave running together long enough and tripping the circuit breaker in your old apartment (haven't done this one)

- Alert to tell you when washing machine is done (or use to estimate how much time is left)

- use color lights as reminders or to signify events

- check to make sure doors are closed and locked at night

- check that door for room (or window in room) with AC is closed when AC is running, otherwise shut AC off

- alerts when someone gets home even if you are out of the house (know kid gets home from school, for example)

Ultimately it is a hobby. I had a raspberry pi 4 I bought and had just sitting around. It feels good to see it in the corner doing something cool.
Does YouTubeTV carry public television stations? Aside from underwriting sponsor mentions at the beginning and end of a program, they're prohibited from mentioning sponsors [1].

I think the best hack I've found is get cable and a TiVo with a life time subscription. Now I get the same or more content then YouTube and no commercials because TiVo has a commercial skip feature. I also don't have to pay for hardware for my cable connection because they have to give me 1 free cable card by law. I just insert that into my TiVo.
I can give you the opposite opinion. I hate loom. I've never made a video with it. I've only had the displeasure of meeting a few people who used it for everything. It isn't fun to use. I'd rather have a block of text and maybe some screenshots l.
Segregationists tried using that framing back in the 1960s/70s, but it the argument was ruled invalid by the Warren-led Supreme Court. Who knows what would happen these days, however.
I really doubt any pro-palestine activists were surprised by this one?

The tactic of contacting our employers expecting them to fire us is a couple decades old at least. We are routinely called anti-semites for condemning treatment of palestinians.

And in the US currently the right is the one with the book-banning campaign? Again idk really how you can paint this as a surprising twist lol. We all saw it coming.
Aaah but I thought it was mandatory, my bad...

Is my memory fooling me but weren't the first ads already highly obnoxious? Like ads that popup a new window or were flashing and stuff?,
The only reason I have smartbulbs in my house (and not all of my bulbs are smartbulbs) is because I like adjusting them to be orange/red in the evening to signal to my body that it's almost bedtime, and white/blue in the morning to signal to my body that it's time to get up. It really makes a big difference for my quality of sleep, especially in the winter.
That and you can also see certain youtubers chopping off sponsored ads block into multiple parts and integrating it with their video
This was the quote that came to mind. I read that book many times as a kid and that quote really stuck with me.
Well, at least their image host is using the right HTTP status codes.
Probably some combination of all the above! I think 1 and 2 are interlinked though — the cheaper they can be, the more they build that moat. They might be eating the cost on these APIs too, but unlike the Uber/Lyft war, it'll be way stickier.
> That’s basically an AND gate. But what about OR gates? [...]

How about a Turing-complete clap processing unit? Effectively, a language for specifying, identifying, connecting, activating, and signaling various logic gates with hand claps alone.

Also, come on. Is it really too much to ask for a person to know how to open a Sonoff switch, connect gator clips to its programming ports, flash it with Tasmota, and connect it to Home Assistant via MQTT? This is basic stuff..

It is, and blatently so.
Only for red traffic lights and marked pedesteian crossings. Everything else is fair game, as it should be. One has to love the fact that in the land of the free one cannot cross a street where one wants.
Not to mention that you can trivially set a 300w power cap on the 4090 and still get 75-80% of peak FLOPS.

Why would I think that current events are different in some fundamental way?
As a Dev Manager, please don't "fix it then-and-there." I've found that developers are great at fixing problems but terrible to prioritizing work. After all, its not their responsible to set priorities. The 'fix it then-and-there' on even a small issue has the potential to completely derail a project. Tech debt though, has to be treated with similar reverence to feature development.
> Worth pointing out that "jaywalking" is not a universal crime.

When I first moved from the UK to the USA, I assumed that "jaywalking" was a made-up thing that you warned tourists about, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_bear. How could crossing the road be _inherently_ illegal, even if done in a safe manner!?

Thats a really interesting question. When I first started playing DnD the thing I loved the most was the combat. Loved the mechanics and loved that it was basically a big complex board game.

Over time, I have started moving more towards the shared storytelling aspects of the game. Currently in our game, we do a light combat mix, where we only really enter combat once every 3 or 4 sessions.

Generally, it's nice that there are so many different RPG systems out there now so people can really find the ones that fit what they like.

I’m surprised that things like US military-style tritium-illuminated compasses aren’t more popular or widely used for cases like this.

They’re very safe, last something like 10 years, and aren’t really expensive (compared to “I need to know what direction I’m going and have no way to do so, or can’t see it”).
Yes, and YouTube TV does not insert ads into those broadcasts. There's no ads in YouTube TV beyond what you would see on any other cable carrier.
"Even the concept that the flow of traffic is more important than the pedestrian's flow"

Is it? It seems like in the example, both parties are following a signal. Cars must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Sure, some places have jaywalking laws when not in a crosswalk (in some cases including implied/unmarked crosswalks), and most require impeding traffic as a component. A few places could move towards common sense of adding impeding traffic as a requirement. Nothing I've seen says pedestrians are second class. It's like saying that one should be allowed to run a red light. Everyone can wait their turn.

I’m sure they didn’t mean to give you that impression. That’s a good lesson for people making these requests. If the CEO had worded it more evenly (“send me a Loom about what interests you in working for Loom”) you might’ve sent one in, and the people who wanted to demonstrate sheer enthusiasm to maximally fulfill the request still would’ve.

(Also, I still think you didn’t much like the product… :) )

September news. Not even clear if "Thursday" is today or from back then. Weird.

Something new here or are you just wasting our time?
Cable TV broadcasts include both the network's ads and slots for the carrier to run their own ads. They're not inserting bonus ads on top of the actual content. Again, this is exactly the same as any cable provider has always worked.

I don't get it.

Others work, but what is the value of a deleted ad?
Where it gets really confusing is podcast networks (like Spotify exclusives, but also others) offer the ability to cycle out the sponsored segment. So you may be listening to a Conan O'Briend podcast episode from 2016 and hear an ad break of Conan recommending you check out some tv show airing this Saturday, October 16 2023.

But YouTube doesn't let video makes swap out parts of a video without re-uploading the whole thing and losing your viewcount. From what I've heard they have let some very big channels swap out things without it being considered a new video. But that's for the sake of avoiding copyright or fixing a dangerous error. Not for sponsorships.
From:

> 59% of dwellings in 2019 used their central heating system to provide hot water without a separate cylinder. Around a third (32%) used their central heating system to provide hot water through a separate hot water cylinder, 7% had a hot water cylinder and immersion heater as the primary means of water
heating and less than two percent had an instantaneous water heater or
dedicated boiler (1% and 0.2%, respectively)

So about 40% have hot water tanks, though I guess the number is falling.
Not that loud, actually. With the bone conduction headphones you hear the sound “inside your brain”, which is convenient bc that’s where I hear the tinnitus too. I turn it up a little when I get “flashbangs”, but for the most part the pattern itself just scrubs the noise. I actually don’t even really hear the pattern most of the time unless I stop to think about it.
'Disruption' is a marketing tactic these days. Netflix keeps hiking prices even though they're not paying usurious amounts to license other networks' content. Uber now isn't any cheaper than the stodgy taxis they replaced.

Isn't it quite obvious that productivity does not scale linearly with time worked? Consistently, I can work 4-6 hours a day at full productivity, and I have to choose less demanding tasks for the other 8-10 waking hours to maximise my productivity and well-being. This is also what I observe in my peers, and while there might be outliers to this, I think the stretch is far less extreme than propagated by some influencers.
Thanks, yeah that’s not the first time I’ve heard that. On my computer, and I think on most people’s computers, it loads instantly. But on others it basically crashes the tab, like it goes into an infinite loop or something. A bit difficult to test without adding debugging tools, apparently Sentry is a good one?, which would definitely conflict with the privacy-first approach. I’ll have to ask more friends, maybe one of them can reproduce the problem. Anyway thanks for trying it and commenting!
Reduce, reuse, recycle isn't nonsense, but good sense. What is nonsense is how the fossil fuel industry uses it as a shield to avoid taking responsibility for the damage they do to the world.
