I use Brave as a browser, works decently well and is available for Android too
"I get an annoying amount of spam" is a very different operational condition than "the FCC disconnected my provider so I can't make or receive calls"
It seems hard to think that in 20 years all those issues won't be better (it will be able to do other types of walls, windows, integrate plumbing, etc.)

The "special bricks/adhesive" also doesnt seem to be a huge deal at scale. Every type of construction has its own speciality equipment (there are drills just for drywall, just for concrete, just for glass etc.)
It’s a supported dev target in the simulator, for what it’s worth.
What a coincidence that this happened at the same time as the gas pipeline between Finland and Estonia.

I wonder who could it be?

Well, it's not really a mystery now is it?
There is also a 3rd option: using your own phone as scanner.

In Partner Card [1] stores such as Viru Keskus supermarket (Kaubamaja Toidumaailm), one can download Partnerkaart app [2] to use their phones to scan for products.

I personally am a big fan of this one, since for some reason my phone's barcode scanner is greatly faster and more accurate than the market's own scanners.

And do you connect to your home network via VPN or something? Curious how this helps when on your phone's cellular connection
Robocalls would be easy enough to fix, and could be fixed by Apple and Google in cooperation. They could release, with every phone, tightly integrated software that allowed me to spawn off my own robot answerer. I might have to spend 20 minutes setting it up (or maybe not, with the latest in AI voice imitation), so that it could reasonably pretend to be me and keep the caller on the phone as long as possible.

If every single iPhone user, for instance, wasted 10-30 minutes of time for robocallers, stringing them along, the economics of the robocalling fall apart. If Android also does the same thing, then even more so. That "industry" would self-destruct within months.

Whether the carriers would allow this though, when they stand to lose so much business, that's another story.
Ignore it, its spam.

Not really. ARM servers are quite hard to find (e.g. none at Digitalocean), and ARM builds of common software projects are often missing. The server world overwhelmingly still runs on X86.
First, there is no proof it was Ukraine (but they are a top contender based on motive). Second, if it was Ukraine, an about face, or even tacit approval, of other NATO members would make pwrfect sense.

Third, NS2 was never used and no impact on any gas shortages or gas prices Europe.
I am happy to repeat myself: "should give you a new angle to investigate this bullshit from".

That's not "ignore this".

Brass balls folks - brass balls.
I guess there is political pressure to push news down our throats as people zone out from news in general.

E.g. MS have started to spam the start menu with news.

The sensationalization of web news makes it unbearable. I only read dead tree news papers.
MicroCenter also has a deal on and off (mainly keeps switching motherboards) for an Intel 12900k bundle with motherboard and 32 GB of DDR5 RAM for $400. It may not be the absolute best for raw gaming, but damn, that is a pretty good deal.

I don't know how good of a value the 7700X bundle is, but my problem is I always want more cores because I am usually compiling code. I loved the 5950X, a very fast and power efficient CPU, so my likely upgrade path is probably the 7950X or TR or whatever CPU takes the "productivity" crown next. And hopefully, by the time I'm in the market again, MicroCenter will have another unreasonably good deal available.
Didn't know that. DS9 is the only series in the franchise I was never really able to get in to. I've only seen a handful of episodes.
I've been doing web development for the past 15 years or so, with the odd sidestep to mobile, currently React Native, but ten years ago I did some native iOS. I had the opportunity to do native iOS again recently, just a POC to add widgets to our app. On the one side, it was great, the tooling is great, super previews, etc. On the other, it's a lot of fidgeting to get it to work, but then, I hadn't had the opportunity to work with SwiftUI yet.
Mostly fair. My gut is that most people need the promotions that carriers offer to afford a phone.
So YouTube becoming the ol' good TV full of ads and propaganda? You won't believe what happens next.
Karl Ziemelis, now chief physical sciences editor at Nature, handled the paper as a rookie editor. He says it remains one of his favourites — and one of the hardest to get in. Editorial approval for the paper was far from unanimous, because it was not obviously describing something new.

Lesson that the blinders of consensus rarely see what’s new.

I love this example so much because the method was so new and spoke to a key truth. If methods are useful then mundane results are to be expected but still need to be tested. One mentor once said to me that the whole point of an experiment is to test what you think you know. Testing ground truths helps mitigate confirmation biases.

Eh, seems like guilt by association. Plus the 3 A.M. Fauci tweet is objectively funny.
Using whitespace for formatting while standard is optional, you can instead use braces. See section 2.7 of the Haskell Language Report: https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch2....
I am building a house by hand. Laying CMU one brick at a time is one of the most practical ways to build foundation and walls by yourself with no heavy machinery and limited hauling equipment especially in remote areas. Prefab you quickly run into massive expenses for delivery and heavy equipment rental.
I'm sure all the big players in this space have tried RoCE, and found it wanting. Hence all these new approaches.

I’m confused why folks think long covid isn’t real? Most disease have long lasting effects. Why not covid?
Hello! I am the author of this post. I never expected more than 10 people to read it max because it was a rambly thing that I dashed off pretty quickly. I’ve received some really interesting responses and emails as a result, as well as many recommendations of cool blogs to read!! Thank you for all those.

I’ve seen some folks expressing their incredulity that a writer would need to do an internet search for ideas, so I wanted to add a bit of context. I’ve got some ideas for future posts jotted down in my notes app, but nothing that I feel I am ready to go ahead with writing yet. I still wanted to write something that day just to exercise my writing “muscle,” as it were. I like to do personal journalling and write fanfiction (yeah, cringe, I know) and in both of those online communities there are lots of ways to find cool prompts from other writers for if you have writer’s block. There are whole lists of questions to answer in your journal to help jumpstart some self-reflection. In fandom spaces, there are tons of “fan weeks” (or months) where there will be a prompt or two per day, and the challenge is to write something based on that prompt. I’ve really enjoyed consulting those to spark an idea when I’m not sure what to do, and I’ve written some pieces I am really proud of based on those prompts. So I (naively, I now realize) assumed that there might be cool blogging challenges or prompts I could find out there to spark something interesting I could write about…and then I got flooded with all that nonsense and I was like, what is this?? I hate it! And I wrote about how I hated it, and here we are. :)

I am relieved to see that personal blogging is very much alive on the quieter side of the web, away from social media and SEO optimization. It’s a space I am increasingly spending time in and still figuring out how to navigate. It seems like the best way to find stuff over here is to talk to people! I’ve received some really nice emails from people sharing their blogs with me and enjoyed reading their posts. I am definitely going to check out the many recommendations in this thread! Thanks to everyone who has been so welcoming to me as a total blogging newbie, and as for answering the question in my post title: Blogging for the hell of it is alive, just much harder to find by the means I’ve been used to up until now.

As an aside, I do also think it’s really funny how people are assuming I’m a guy…I guess because I mentioned I’m playing Baldur’s Gate, and girls don’t know how to do that. ;)
I've been trying to use Odysee for the last couple years. The site itself is fine and I want to support it in theory, but the three main problems for me are:

1. Only like 20% of the creators I follow I copy their posts over and none of them comment or remove duplicate postings. I find maybe one good video a week.

2. Literally 90% of the comments are by full-blown Nazis. The recent Veritasium video on Fritz Haber[1] was especially bad as essentially every comment was on he didn't do anything wrong because Zyklon B is really harmless and the Holocaust didn't happen.

3. Odysee's recommendations are way worse than even YouTube. Where YouTube pushes very lowest-common-denominator, mainstream, simple stuff, Odysee pushes clickbaity, totally worthless videos at best or absolutely insane conspiracy videos at worst. The only way I've found to discover anything with any educational or entertaining value on Odysee is to look through YouTube recommendations and see if those people are on Odysee too.

You get down voted because there are thousands of people suffering from real physical symptoms of this - like clots and tachycardia - and you are waving away the symptoms as a mental illness.

What a joke; I hope no one ever does that to you.
Meditative techniques can assist with the regulation of emotions/attention. I speak from experience. It takes practice when you’re feeling well to be able to channel it when you’re not feeling well. It’s not as hippy-dippy as you might think (unless you want it to be). No yoga mat required.
Considering how energy intensive it is to gather, shred/pulp, transport, and pump said material - wouldn’t it be a lot better to do that with algae or the like though?

Trees are tough, and grow well in inhospital and rough terrain. That’s basically their value prop? Growing them in good crop land for something like this would be a waste, for instance.

They are good for building materials, and that is one of the longer forms of sequestration. Transport and processing is a big cost there already, and makes it dubious carbon neutrality wise currently.
From Wikipedia : The court is 78 ft (23.77 m) long. Its width is 27 ft (8.23 m) for singles matches and 36 ft (10.97 m) for doubles matches.

In case anyone was wondering. Why is it so difficult to just give the measurements instead of some vague size?
Just a heads up that your comment is flagged. You can definitely joke about things, but HN asks that comments be substantive. Yours was not. I realize the irony writing this comment, but hopefully a bit of community heads up can preserve HN's characteristics for a little while longer.

> It does, unfortunately, have significant whitespace.

Haskell is actually defined as a braces-and-semicolon langage with an off-side rule for the convenience of layout sensitive code. The transformation is simple and completely deterministic, so if delimiters and separators are preferable to a blind coder they can reasonably easily use that.
> But more importantly homework problems are rigged [1] and transfer learning is close to non-existent in every domain we've seriously looked at [2],

Indeed it is, but that’s because most people just learn to pass exam by redoing the same exact problems with different inputs! Bringing up this fact does not support your argument in favor of memorization, instead it is closer to my view, which is that most of schooling is just cargo culting education, people just memorize the exam problems, pass, move on and forget. What’s the point of the whole thing in the first place if you can’t transfer?
Starfleet is the Federation's solution to the existence of type-A personalities, giving them something exciting and challenging to do in order to prevent them from screwing up the socialist utopia for everyone else. All Starfleet technology is optimized not for efficiency, but for excitement; giving Starfleet personnel brushes with danger, interesting puzzles to solve, and opportunities to improvise and collaborate. Wouldn't surprise me if the inertial dampeners on the bridge are specifically tuned to toss people around a bit during battles to make them more immersive and raise the stakes. Why else would computer terminals spontaneously explode when the shields take a hit?
Glad to hear! ^^
> I want a peaceful solution. So do 80-90 percent of Palestinians and Israelis. There are the crazy people on both sides who keep destroying that chance for peace.

I agree very much, with one caveat though: Hamas isn't claiming anything about being "the only democracy in the Middle East", it doesn't export military surveillance tech (to my knowledge), it doesn't receive substantial support from my government. So while I agree that with friends like Hamas, you don't really need enemies, I just can't get worked up about that. They do what they do and what I resent and stand against -- but they don't involve me. (the right-wing government of) Israel very much tries to involve me, by proxy. To Hamas, I'm just an infidel; to Likud, I'm an useful idiot in spe. They claim we're similar, playing the same game in the same ball park, and thereby force me to refute them.
I don't disagree fully, though I have a special loathing for American "MSM"; as a Canadian I can't watch e.g. CNN without my gag reflex kicking in. The presentation style, glibness, and superficiality is ridiculous. From the outside, it's just Fox News for smug US liberals instead of crazy radical conservatives.

There is a saying: "The emperor only has to hint, the wealthy can order, and the robber must kill."

So yes, someone interpreted the hint and gave an order, so someone did it.
NextDNS (blocks ads in all apps) and 1Blocker for YouTube ads in Safari. Both free.
I think they meant unrolling as in deploying.
I think you have a point. The thing is, I'm weirdly OK with labouring away at the coalface. It's hard work, it's more toil and drudgery than people admit, but I'd rather that than finding the white collar 'cheat codes' that allow me to skive off.

It helps to work on a product that you're into, or believe in, if you're lucky enough to find such a thing. I think one of the secrets is to become a product-centric engineer, and focus more energy on understanding the domain and what the business needs.
For some people. I grew up in the country and sort of straddled two worlds.

The world of rural family farms was in the full out death spiral. The family farm worked for in rural NY had been in continuous operation since the 1600s, turned into a hobby farm circa 2001. All of the supporting ecosystem died as well. Walmart killed retail. The dying farms killed the equipment and tractor dealers, etc.

Then I went to college and it’s the land of the long boom.

It’s funny I wrote a paper in high school sort of predicting unrest etc in the 2020 timeframe. NAFTA, consolidation of industries and offshoring.

I had forgotten about it until recently, but found it and while some of the details were long, our current path wasn’t totally a surprise to a reasonably intelligent and observant 16 year old in the 90s!

Personally, I don’t share that dark vision. I think that while you’ll see strategic realignments that may have profound impact, life goes on.
YouTube is also under heavy pressure from the site formally known as X, and hasn't said anything about "that YouTuber girl who steals content with a pretty voice" even though her actions, by any objective standard, obviously violate YouTube's guidelines.

This may partially be because YouTube had her featured at one of their events a few months ago and to cancel her for literally acting pedophilic (in another discovery from yesterday) would be a bad look...
Hi @simonw your tweets were motivation for me to write this blogpost. Same with this one: https://blog.roboflow.com/chatgpt-code-interpreter-computer-... when I dove deep into Code Interpreter. Most of my jailbreaking and prompt injection adventures are linked to you. Thanks a lot!
I agree that losing focus while trying to add a task can be disruptive. I recognized that as an issue. So I've aimed to make this process seamless in Floutwork. For instance, if you're in a meeting, you can open a command bar via a keyboard shortcut (CMD+1) and type tasks like "Get back with Mike next week" or "Follow up with Dan at 3pm." You can close the command bar by clicking outside of it, returning to your original view without losing focus.

If you're on a web page and find something worth following up on, you can select the text, right-click, and choose "Add Task," optionally setting a time like "Tomorrow" or "Next week." Alternatively, you can select "Add Task with Screenshot" to capture the current view and URL for future reference. The same can be done by right-clicking any open tab, allowing you to close it and remove it from your view until you're ready to revisit the task.

Another way to add tasks without losing focus is to click the tasks icon at the top-right corner of any web app to open a side view. Here, you can quickly add multiple tasks and then close the Split View.

The goal is to make task creation simple and focus-friendly, enabling you to get tasks out of your head while maintaining your current activity so I wanted to provide a few different options within the app. Do you think this approach would be helpful for you?
This network may have been created on a government grant but one need only review the broadband tax placed upon us 30 years ago versus broadband paid for by the tax to understand what is happening.
> How do you guys manage proper ad blocking on mobile?

On Android, I installed Firefox and uBlock Origin. It was pretty cool that the same thing I use on desktop Firefox (and other browsers) also works on mobile.

Except that it seems like Chrome on Android doesn't seem to support extensions, so I basically can't fix that browser, which mostly prevents me from using it for anything.

That said, I might soon get an iPhone (for developing/testing an app, which will probably also mean a MacBook, since they don't officially offer their software on other platforms), so I hope that things will work out there as well.
There's a saying, "An armed society is a polite society."

The reason is because of perceived threat. If very few people are armed, people are more likely to act a fool because they don't fear the consequences from npcs. Risk taking along these lines increases as does the physical delta. But as the probability of random npc folks carrying approaches one, suddenly there is a very real chance that acting a fool carries permanent consequences.

Consider the active shooter in a church that was stopped in Texas by a worshipper concealed carrying. One person stopped a tragedy.
https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/man-who-took-out-church-gu...

And now consider other situations that tend to be heated where folks overreact: road rage, etc. Folks may be less likely to escalate things when they believe the other party has the ability to respond with deadly force.

This same hypothesis applies to mugging. While the mugger may get the drop on their victim, others nearby that are armed may be able to appropriately intervene to stop the initial assault.

Allowing the general public to not only be armed but carry the same stopping force as the baddies reduces the imbalance, leveling the playing field.
Grounding is important and that is usually accomplished with reference data from something like a search (maybe with vectors) and prior interactions. While unpredictable input is definitely an issue, forcing the LLM to complete dictionaries and having grounding data is a good way to get around a lot of the issues we see with prompt sanitization.
Me too: make receiving international-sourced calls opt-in. Done.
How can a joke be substantive?
In my head, these are:

- Conan and vcpkg are probably the closest equivalent to other "language package managers" (e.g. Rust's cargo, or NodeJS's NPM).

- Spack is typically used in HPC/Scientific Computing domain.

- Nix (and Guix) are very powerful (system) package managers; these have enough nifty features that I'd call them "next-generation".

Probably also for sufficiently complicated projects, it may be worth mentioning sophisticated build tools like Bazel (which I think manages dependencies in its own way).
> Can I safely assume that you also listen to some albums multiple times to get to know them?

Absolutely yes. Like with good books and movies, you can't really appreciate music fully on a single listen. And a lot of music reveals wonders only after you've become very familiar with it.

Also, with some of my favorite artists (Kate Bush comes immediately to mind, but she's not the only one), I often dislike their music on first listen. It's only after sitting with it a few times that I fall in love with it.

It would take too long to list my favorites, but here's what I've been listening to over the past week: Martina DaSilva, Oriana Curls, Yello, Frank Zappa, early Pink Floyd, miscellaneous Venezuelan salsa bands.
Occam's razor actually suggests the opposite to be. Tool AIs want to be agent AIs, after all.

Starting a fresh new (internal) project in our company, no specs, no borders, we can use any JS lib, framework, tool, whatever.

Now we stay like a kid in front of a candy shop and don't know what to choose.

Anything has pros and cons, but nothing really convinces us. It seems that all candies look great but taste like spoiled fish.

We are a small team and we don't have the time to update the app with every new version of a framework.

We stepped back and looked at our internal tools, which needed the least time of work for updates etc. and we currently think we use no framework. Only a really really simple one. That would possible need more time to build an app, but saves a lot to maintain the app. This tool would be used for the next 10 years (ok 20 years in reality).

Our oldest internal tool is 22 years old (manages customers, projects, domains, servers, etc.), got a little update some months ago to work with newest browser, update to newer php-version and that all within only 2 weeks. 2 weeks! That is today not enough time for a modern build setup ;-)

10 years ago, non of the current JS frameworks exists, or you have to do so much upgrade work to maintain you apps. 20 years ago? OMG unbelievable. Now think 10 or 20 years in the future. I think none of the current frameworks will then exists.
