Thank you for the compliment! I just went back and fixed that one word for now, but I will try to dive deeper and fix any other misspellings.
for context, this government has been in power for thirteen years, is on their fifth Prime Minister, and has acommplished nothing of note aside from grinding down public services and growth and leaving the world's largest free trade area, but still have a year left of their term so are just spending that time fucking around doing nothing except dumb things like this.

Show HN: Podsee – AI tool for podcast listeners
Hi everyone, I just launched Podsee(https://pods.ee) for podcast listeners, lovers. You can search and listen to podcasts at Podsee. What makes it different is that you can get the AI transcript for an episode.

It started as a side project after I resigned my job one year ago. As a programmer, I love Elixir (http://elixir-lang.org/) and Phoenix LiveView(https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix_live_view), and want to make a product with it. So I build Podsee.

I'm planning to add more AI features to it, like summarize the episode audio, episode to comics, etc.

I'd love to invite you all to try out the product and would appreciate hearing your feedback! Thanks!

Even if it costs $1 to collect that $1 it might be worth it if it creates a 'better' and more engaged user base. If you pay for something you value it more and might end up taking better care of it. The question is if having fewer, but more engaged, users is a net benefit in the long run.

This is actually quite common in Finnish, since there is no strict word ordering. Once you have figured out all the words and their agglutinations, you can put them in any order. Many phrases don't parse until you heard all of it.
In the video they are building the bricks on-site. I've done this before. And also built a kiln on-site with mud bricks (with a small team), though it takes a good design to get it to the high temperature required. Rammed earth is another natural building alternative where a formwork is built in-situ, infilled, and tamped down, once again with on-site materials. And from what I've seen it's absurdly strong, and can be polished such that it reflects like marble.

I'd say 'differentiated' might be a better description than 'adapt', no?

With targeted therapies (by whatever means), you're killing everything with that marker with high probability.

Unfortunately, tumors typically being heterogenous (tumor cells don't all carry the same markers), after you've killed everything marked... you're still left with everything else.

Which I believe is why most targeted therapies use simultaneous adjuvant general therapies that help with the remainder?

I mean, we're moving goalposts here from "guarantees that SEP makes" to "guarantees that iCloud Keychain makes".

You're right that the items from iCloud Keychain don't just sit in a plaintext on a disk, and that the ceremony to join a keyring is a complex and (until proven otherwise) secure one, but none of that is related in anyway to SEP.

The very existence of iCloud Passwords extension for Chrome on Windows should be a proof of that.

Apple is basically competing against itself at this point. Somewhat disappointed of Qualcomm and MediaTek though, they're all mediocre by comparison. I would have expected them to wipe the floor with Apple, but seems like Apple chips are still holding up against the best chips from Qualcomm.
Well if you're actively consciously defending it like that I can only wish you good luck. I guess if that's the goal comparing you to Stallman with GNU is more of a compliment than anything.
From my point of view, they never really went after black market. They kept prices artificially high and quality of products low. Edibles from legal sources are trash. Not a surprise when you don't compete that you end up struggling.

The other major factor, there were some ungodly valuations. A small warehouse in BC was worth over a billion dollars.

Sometime these crazy valuations would crash.

Coincidentally today I was daydreaming about such a system being built alongside the metro rail corridors of my city. Doesn't have to be pneumatic if built today, but such an automated system would certainly help move packages at an unimaginable speed within a congested city.

It would affect the market for gold as a store of value, certainly. But for actual useful economic purposes, the cost of getting those metals back to the surface of the Earth would be so eye-wateringly expensive that I don't know if it would even make sense.

A single SpaceX Starship claims to have a reusable payload of 150 tons. Current annual mining operations extract 21 million tons of copper, 3,000 tons of gold, and 300 tons of platinum. So let's focus on platinum. You'd need two starships per year to match current platinum production. But it's a 12-year round trip, so you'd need 24 starships in continuous operation just to haul the metals (let's ignore where they're getting their fuel from for the return trip). And that's before you get to the actual costs of the mining operation itself; bootstrapping fully autonomous robotic space mining on a rock 200 million miles away is going to take more money that anyone has lying around. And the final result of this is that you've spent a trillion dollars just to crash the market for platinum.
Personally doing something like this, except not from scratch, but a major renovation.

I'm not using concrete at all, I am reusing foundations, and mostly sustainable domestic wood and other recycled materials. I've been taught from a fairly young age about carpentry so I'm not ultra-green and I do use some local tradesmen, which I'm learning a lot from. I plan to do some more of my own projects so it's been great to work with them and gain more insights into how they work.

I've learned an incredible amount, there is something ultra inspiring and rewarding for me when working with physical material. I find it sort of unlocks parts of my brain I forgot I had. Working in the third dimension I guess?

Also, remember all that math you learned in school but hardly use? Well you'll likely be revisiting at least some of it! Which feels awesome.

Regarding the time management, project management etc, it's true, you have to learn all this, but more importantly you start to have to learn to compromise and really get good at communicating with people. A mistake in the physical world can get costly very fast.

You seem to be interpreting my usage of the word "toy" negatively. I mean no disrespect. I only just missed the Kickstarter. I have one and it's great. I built a keyboard for it on the GPIO and wrote an app. As far as toys go, as an adult, I didn't give up toys, they just got (way) more expensive (like my motorcycle or my friend's Porsche).

It comes with a tamagotchi in the stock firmware so it's hard not seeing it as a device for fun and whimsy aka a toy.

In calling it a toy, I'm saying it's a B2C product, neatly packaged up with few sharp edges. It has an easy to use app. I don't have to dig deep into some cross-compiler setup to build firmware for it. Professional HW dev should be so easy!

My underlying point was that the Wired article and subsequent press has launched the product far further than originally thought.

Why does the word toy connotate so negatively for you?
My dating choices are extremely biased.

I refuse to date people I don't like, aren't attracted to, have little in common with or are simply deranged (sex offenders and serial killers included).

How given temperature feels depends on humidity, airflow, local culture, individual human and specific condition of that human (sitting/moving/sleeping, caffeinated, just ate a meal, bored, enthusiastic).

- I know someone who wears a puffy jacket indoors if it's 24 degrees.

- You will find sitting in 20 degrees with 88% humidity much more miserable than 20 degrees and 33% humidity.

- 42deg with 20% humidity and slight breeze is fine, 38deg with 90% humidity can make you pass out in minutes if you need to walk anywhere in the sun.
PHP doesn't have loose typing anymore, if you make a function parameter with a specific type:

function test(bool $param) {}

You will get an runtime error if you call it with wrong type:

Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: test(): Argument #1 ($param) must be of type boolean

However generics are probably costly to typecheck runtime? I haven't studied the reason why there is not generics planned.

> Section 51 of the London Hackney Carriage Act 183

I think its one of those cause and effect things.

You have a horse-drawn taxi. You wish to feed your horse at some point during the day.

The law says you can only do so with either (a) your own hay or (b) hay or corn held in your hands.

So the restrictions of the law push you in the obvious direction of keeping a stack of hay on your carriage.

I got to thinking and a bale of straw isn't a bad idea.

My first thought was a flag on a rope, but wind can make it blow up and become less visible. So it needs to have weight in order to hang down and be visible at the right height. It needs to be disposable and cheap. And it can't damage boats.

So a bale of straw is not a bad idea even in 2023.

I bet peaches are expensive in that area too, because there are no peach trees.

Concrete costs about $160 USD per cubic meter both in the USA and in Zaire (first African country I cound find a price), that works out to $4 USD a 35 kg bag, but in this case it's mixed and ready to pour.

If concrete factories were more common there there, I'm sure the price would be comparable for a material that is easier to work with, requires far less labor, etc etc. But they don't, and their traditional techniques work well for the area they're in. The moral to this story is, use what's local and does the job, and I feel like the only thing I got out of the video is some cool visuals of dudes building with bricks.

Of course, clay has a lot of benefits over concrete. It's lighter, insulates better, they can dig it out of the ground!
They used to obtain funds by renting out space on the bridge, so the old bridges used to have houses and shops on them - cantilevered or to the sides.
Basic plumbing and electrical requires a lot less work (and cost) than building the structure.

Getting the services to the property are the most expensive part.

Fully self-sufficient (septic tank, water well and generator/solar) would be pretty expensive but still mostly a case of digging dirt and putting basic components together.

>Why on earth would a book store carry any relevant computer technical books nowadays?

Because books can explain concepts better than any other medium. Books aren't great for reference/howto because that info goes out of date quickly. E.g. I'm not going to buy a book about browser APIs, I'll use MDN. But I will buy a book about SPA design or HCI. I'll certainly buy a book about a topic like performance analysis or comparing different approaches to ORMs or practical cryptography. The specific libraries will go out of date quickly, but the concepts will be useful for a very long time (and even the specifics will be at least somewhat correct for longer than you'd expect).

Like everyone else, technical people have had their attention span removed, segmented, and captured by capital such that "sitting down and reading a book (about a technical subject)" is met with horror. There is hope: the brain is quite plastic and even if you've let yours soak in the sensation stew of your phone 8 hours a day for years now, you can regain this important function soon enough. A well-written tech book is such a pleasure! A long narrative, coherent and filled with nuance...it's an important style of communication and I don't think we want to lose it.

A sample dataset is downloadable at truthbeam.eth over IPFS.
In its basic form the Truth Beam mechanism comprises a video projector and global shutter camera with an exposure time approximately equal to the projector's refresh rate and a computer.

An intialisation vector acquired from an interlocutor (e.g. a blockchain) is used to create a cryptographic feedback loop in this system, i.e. projector[i]=hash(camera_image[i-1],hash[i-1). The top hash of this tree is returned to the interlocutor for timestamping. This proves the approximate time of creation and sequentiality of the projector emissions.
Each cryptographic interval of this system is described by two 3-channel matrices (one for the projector image, one for the camera) and these matrices concatenated and used for training an autoencoder used for anomaly detection.

Things get more advanced later (e.g. a theoretically fully continuous system current being tested in discrete models.)

That is a fair argument if you consider the Culture to be a collection of civilisations living in harmony, but if the Culture is rather a single entity which supplants the existing civilisation and gradually replaces all of the unique features of the existing civilisation, is it still fairly classifiable as “peace with a neighbour”? It’s a tough question and I don’t profess to know the answer, but for me I think I would argue that you can no longer call them a “neighbour” if they’re no longer separately identifiable as “not the Culture”.

> decided to save up $500K

For most people this is called "retirement"; by the time you've hit that total, you're over 60 and needed somewhere to live in the meantime.
You'd hope that modules would make those issues go away, instead of making them worse.

Also, CPPFLAGS ensure the shared code in headers is the same, whereas with modules it feels as if you have to manually bring the compiler itself in the right state.
I wonder what it would take to make that construction method earthquake-resistant.
500K is a lot of money. More than 99 percent of people make in a lifetime.

I would say, the goal should be to accomplish this without much money. Any money spent will add to the co2 footprint. (you can buy a lot of gas/concrete/coffee/meat/plastic/clean water... for that kind of money.)
