I recently had a bit of a data hiccup on my desktop laptop, where I'm using Btrfs with LVM encryption. What's weird is that I started getting these random reboots out of the blue, with no error messages to explain what was going on. I was scratching my head for a while, thinking it might be a hardware issue.

Then, in frustration, I rebooted into my Windows partition, which I rarely ever use. to see if I could back up my stuff and figure out why I wasn't having the same reboot problems in Windows.

After trying a bunch of Btrfs repair commands over a bootable usb disk I found online, I hit a wall with some errors that couldn't be fixed. So, I threw in the towel and reinstalled my system with ext4. It's been running smoothly for three weeks now with no more error headaches.

Could not find the logs of the errors anymore unfortunately to report.
Having the courage to talk about this frankly and show a little bit of data in support is very compelling.

It has resulted in at least one new monthly contributor and hope others do the same.

I wonder if the decline in donations has anything to do with Prusa refusing to properly support Octoprint in favor of their own half baked, awful competitors that are no doubt in furtherance of their quest for SaaS rent seeking (BambuLabs fear? jealousy?).

The MK4 and XL are barely functional with Octoprint and Prusa has indicated they intend to keep them this way, as they did with the Mini. That's a large and growing market now not really supported by Octoprint.

They instead want you to use Prusa Connect, their currently free farm management software that requires internet access and all of your data to manage your local network of machines. No doubt this goes non-free the second any momentum is achieved.

I say 'want you to use' because their local network solution, PrusaLink, is a barely maintained skeleton of a project that replicates a tiny portion of Octoprint's functionality, poorly (4kb/s uploads! 27 char file name limits!), while missing many critical features, has no plugin support and many many bugs. No doubt the prioritization within Prusa is Cloud and not the local functionality you actually need and your machines are capable of.

By reducing Octoprint functionality to the level of their own rudimentary offerings on their newest flagship printers they certainly make the case for using Octoprint far less compelling and paying for it even less so.

Octofarm shutting down also probably didn't help things either.
As far as I understand it, the interaction of Grapefruits with for example statins is because it has Furocumarine, but that isn't unique to it. Other citrus fruits have it as well. It's just that Grapefruit isn't as sour and it's consumed in much higher doses compared to say lemon juice.
If unsafe disabled the borrow checker, you wouldn't have needed that transmute. But it doesn't, so you needed the unsafe transmute to make this work.
Ask HN: Is There a HN for Design?
Besides tech, I really like design - but most design communities I know (think dribbble, behance) are just repositories of design / art without much debate/discussion like on HN. Do I miss out something? Is there a HN for design?
Yandex starts testing self-driving cars without driver in cabin
And I have learnt the basics (and some of the Advanced, as per the article) of Python before numpy even existed. Mixing external libraries, however useful!, with the language itself is not good. "Batteries included" would be very fine here - it comes with the language and that was one of the original (selling? nah, _utility_) points of Python (and now with the external stuff that has morphed... to its life-line really; so never underestimate the ecosystem!).
That sounds super interesting. I would like to learn more if you're willing to share.
It really isn't a big deal. I put it off for years because I imagined it would require a lot of study and a hard test, but I picked up a study book, spent a week with it, and the test was not a problem.

I think the the license grades above technician are the ones where it gets harder.
NYM – Enable digital privacy for all humanity
Yeah, because it means the devs don't have a few thousand in the budget to support removing the logo, so of course they don't have the money to pay people to performance tune the game.

That logo was the dumbest idea ever.
> but numpy is fairly broadly used (math being a core part of computing) library outside of just data science.

True, but Python can still do maths without numpy. Also I don't think "building a roguelike" is a typical example of a real-world programming task.

The trailing 0 char?
> Generally the worst offenders for Wayland support are closed source / abandoned apps that you should consider replacing.

Why? Why does a working program have to change because the windowing system decided to flip everybody the bird?

Windows doesn't do that. Linus himself will slam the wrath of God down upon anybody who breaks the kernel API. etc.

I'll go further. The whole damn problem is the fact that there is actually a choice between Gnome, KDE, Mint, etc. Windows has one window manager. macOS has one window manager.

Consequently, Linux has to wrestle with this stupidly horrible "Where is the dividing line between program, compositor, window manager, and video controller?" problem while other OSs simple put the problem where it belongs--in the damn OS.

The issue is that Wayland forced a whole bunch of shit work onto app developers because the Wayland developers didn't want to expend the work to deal with it either. (Cue jwz's "Cascade of Attention-Deficit Teenagers" rant)

Wayland is better. Take a look at copy-paste on X11 vs Wayland--well, actually, don't, X11 copy paste will make you throw up. Just use Wayland's copy-paste because you can actually figure out what your formats are.

Wayland would be okay but while DeadRat is trying to force it on everybody they aren't putting in the work to make it work for everybody.

And the app developers and users are quite rightfully salty and angry about all this.
In a similar topic, peter reddien's lab also made some very interesting videos about regeneration:

https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=peter+reddien+lab&iax=video...

For people interesting into structural/mathematical underpinnings of living tissue, his videos demonstrated some strange iterated/algorithmic patterns.

For instance, re-grafting an eye slightly shifted, will mess with the regeneration system, and will lead to a ladder of smaller and smaller eyes appearing. As if being out of balance geometrically caused a rippling effect (like a terminal resizing)
But ... we did, and do. It's called HTML. It allows you to send back structured data in a client-agnostic way. It's just that it got bastardized to the point that people will send the data in a way that only certain clients can intelligibly render it, and then, only in a way usable to people without certain disabilities.

It's not just a technical problem, but the social problem of how you get people to keep using that API, and not extending it, and not breaking it in favor of some different purpose (like ads)

Whatever API for web data you propose, I can tell you exactly what will happen to it:

1) Initial clients are geek-designed and geek-friendly, and render the data intelligently.

2) This API gets popular for not having all the cruft.

3) Some genius discovers they could add some cutesy visuals and effects if only the standard were extended, and targets the clients that handle these extensions.

4) Eventually, only those clients are cared about, and you can only make sense of the data with those clients and if you don't have disabilities.

If you want to make progress, figure out how to eliminate that dynamic.

I admit to not knowing much about the history behind this decision, but it does seem like an odd choice. If I were making a game that was both GPU-intensive as well as CPU-intensive as the simulation scales, I would target performance when selecting my game engine. Seems like C++ is a better choice compared to C#.
Makes a lot of sense. LSAT should be 2 sections of Reading Comp and 1 of Logical Reasoning, IMO

You confuse weather forecast with climate forecast. Climate is the weather averaged over 30 years.

The author certainly knows about climate change and the intensification of events due to warmer seas, landmasses and air.

This article is about a particular storm and how models failed to predict the outcome.
Content Authenticity Initiative: How it works
This doesn't seem like a complete solution, as the article notes. The seller would have to find another assumable loan to be able to buy an equivalent replacement home.

Taken to the furthest conclusion, the home-owning class would eventually trade houses only amongst themselves, which leads to a need for a housing currency or trading pool to make trade easier.
Death trap on American roads, unfortunately.
That's probably because the game is made with a Unity Personal license, for small or cheap studios only. With other licenses the splash can be disabled.

This selective limitation has probably had a significant negative effect on Unity's reputation.
We aren’t in for a pleasant surprise. If this userbase is anything less than 70% male I’d eat my hat. Tech has obviously in general has made considerable progress in being more inclusive. But HN, being a community of old farts lamenting about the good old days (if I have to read another comment about how great it is that the site hasn’t changed in 20 years I’lll scream), as well as techno-libertarians wanting to tell you about their new startup, would IMO rightfully be subject to a fair degree of lag.
T3P: Demystifying Low-Earth Orbit Satellite Broadband
It’s been better than Google Maps for years for me. Not designed to sell ads (I don’t need to see every McDonald’s on the eastern seaboard) and the directions tended to be safer and more accurate on timing by relying less on dangerous moves like unprotected left turns on major roads.

The bike directions are MUCH safer, too.
> formal systems like LLMs

I don't think anyone is claiming LLM's, especially their current prompt/termination based interfaces, will result in AGI. I've only seen the opposite claimed, and that LLMs may end up being a primary component.

I will check out the book though. I suspect I won't find anything that convince me that brain matter is the only thing capable of getting the result we call consciousness, but I also have the simple belief that our experience is entirely the result of the brain matter encased in our heads, and that it's possible to emulate its operation in non-biological materials (that being far from the goal/unrelated to AGI, other than plausibility).
Well you can probably become a de facto EU permanent resident by buying a ticket on a smuggling boat. EU member states don't actually deport many undocumented immigrants regardless of what the official immigration laws say.

Have Russian grievances ever been validated since they started the war with Ukraine?
It seems like Hamas Grievances have been validated across academia and the mainstream media since they started the war with Israel.
But even if you're inclined to think that way, your ID is not broadcast automatically by the radio. So if you want to be unidentified, you can just not identify yourself.

But, in my view, you're broadcasting on the radio -- which immediately makes you trackable, license or not. The local HAM community in my area even has their own radio locators and when someone is causing a problem, they do track them down, knock on their door, and ask them to stop it.
Given he's selling the book at the top for the weird theoretical-but-maybe-not-reality-based "interview process", I think some of the things lack practical feet-on-the-ground expertise levels.

Personally I think a few things actual experts should know are:

- python packages: pip vs package manager vs conda

- python 2 vs 3 differences and porting

- os peculiarities, such as windows vs linux

etc...
The same argument applies. Places with high costs of living are high because they’re desirable. There are no cheap cities I’d want to live in.
I've learned from personal experience that people don't like it when you start selling licenses to open source software.
> Now we venerate small business owners, people living off rents and assets, etc.

That would be great if it were the case. But it seems like a good portion venerates corporations and wage slavery.

> Many of them view working for a wage with revulsion.

Couldn't agree more with working for a wage being repulsive. I think the US needs to get back closer to the founding myth you mentioned, and farther from the cancer of corporations turning everyone into wage slaves. There really is no freedom in that. My stomach turns inside out thinking that I was in favour of that. What a terrible mistake. Nothing against those forced to work as such often limited by the precarity of their situation.
Radius – Cloud-native applications are more than just Kubernetes
This article indicates that the Super Mario Brothers game for the Nintendo console (1987) was the original title in the Super Mario Borthers franchise, but it's worth noting that there was at least one earlier game, Mario Brothers (not "Super") for the Atari 800 (among others?) from 1983.
Is that kind of fingerprinting allowed in EU? If that's happening at least for big tech I'd assume there would be some ongoing investigation?
Because we have machines now that are artificial (obviously) and generally intelligent. There isn't a testable definition of general intelligence that GPT-4 would fail that a good chunk of humans also wouldn't. So really, unless your definition of general intelligence is beat every human at everything (humans aren't generally intelligent then) then agi is already here.
> The point I made is you can never know the benefits.

Yes we can know the benefits, and for the exact example you mentioned, we did. It was pretty clear to every major seafaring nation, that securing as big a piece as possible of that new continent, would be very beneficial in terms of resources, generated taxes, and geopolitical power.

And we also know that there are no benefits for a Mars colony. It would be a giant resource sink, and, based on what we know now, probably never able to sustain itself without constant help from earth, making it useless as a "backup plan" in case of some global catastrophe on Earth. If Earth dies, martian colony dies with it.

> do you really believe we can detect and deflect a planet killer?

I know we successfully tested a method that could, with further refinement and development, have a fighting chance at deflecting one.

> So you don't want humanity to waste resources on space.

Waste? No.

Use for useful projects regarding space exploration and defending Earth against catastrophes? Gladly.

> I've written Python professionally for 20+ years. I've extended Python with C for funsies, but have never, not once, needed to do it at work.

Well, different folks have different experiences. One of the first Python-related things I had to do for my job was implementing a Python API for a custom C library that controlled some ancient hardware.
I'd agree with you if X was actually maintained, but we need to accept that it isn't. And to be fair, 'one app can read another app's data' is a reasonable thing to break. For everything else XWayland is the intended path (imperfect as it is).

I know that in certain circles that some people in positions of power, for lack of a better way of putting it, socialize around drinks. The broader problem isn't necessarily being perceived as rude or odd, it's simply being left out when these things happen "because so and so wouldn't be interested in that". Everyone involved can be well intended and it can still have ripple effects.
> That being said, I think there's less risk once your game "takes off" like WarThunder.

I remember a game called Armored Warfare, that was like a mashup of World of Tanks and War Thunder, with modern vehicles, upgrades, multiple factions, more PvE focus and actual story missions (with sci-fi elements and cheesy voice acting).

It played well and looked nicely, too, though for whatever reason it never took off. If a game that well put together didn't attract a notable following, I doubt any others will either.
Selenology and selenography are both already in use.
It really just means that that's the component that's limiting performance, not that there's necessarily any way to fix the bottleneck by upgrading.

I liked it a lot but many friends who played it got lost constantly. The funnel for moving you along the game is big but if you fell out of it suddenly everything feels hard or impossible or inscrutable in the worst way (big example: many people trying to access a certain temple before they’re supposed to and then trying way too hard to get there)
I don't really get it. Games without motion blur (esp FPP) look so choppy and nasty for me. Event at 4k, 120fps/hz.

Motion blur looks like a movie. Without it it's just a slideshow no matter how quick.
Not enough people realize how high CAC (customer acquisition cost) really is, even for established businesses selling proven products (took a pic of a display board outside of AT&T: free iPhone and $800 to new customers). I think they see people finding overnight success on a weekend project, like these popups on ProductHunt, not realizing that they're ultimately piggybacking / riding the wave of someone else's huge CAC / marketing budget (in this case, OpenAI). Same happened with blockchain, etc.

Author is using tailwind wrong

Complaining about a technology (tailwind) while not using its surrounding ecosystem is not really a good way to build things.

How to do it:

- encapsulte/extract react/jsx components - for readability, so you do not have a wall off endless meaningless divs. Examples: Article, ArticleHeader, ArticleContent, ArticleSummary, etc...

- use cva https://github.com/joe-bell/cva to style generic ui components (like buttons) to archive same grouping as in semantic css

- use https://github.com/dcastil/tailwind-merge to merge/overwrite tailwind classes (like in css)

- result: separated react/jsx components with only a few lines of tailwind classes - are very readable and easily maintainable
This brings to mind fond memories of simulation games from back in the 80s/early 90s sporting the most primitive of graphics, if they had graphics at all, but which allowed the player to fill in the blanks with their own imaginations. Updated games of this sort would be astonishing to play on modern hardware.
This news site is simply unusable. The web is broken.
True but the mass of lithium or sodium in a battery is limited. A Tesla Model S which has a large battery uses 62.6 kg (about 130 pounds) of lithium. You only need to separate that once. This limits the amount of energy needed to produce that battery. That is unlike the ongoing energy needed to refine the gasoline in an ICEV.
Yes, thanks. I didn't even realize my comment could be read that way, but I was speaking of Illumos only, Solaris is still Solaris :)

Sure, but they can rebalance equities and carry those losses forward for years, reducing their taxable gains. They aren’t playing the same game as most of us.

Having cash and taking advantage of treasuries and other loans is providing pretty solid returns as well.

The rich people’s accountants have this covered for the most part, I think they will be fine.
There are a lot of kind of questionable/obscure skills in tiers 2-4, but I think that's fine actually. It's not a software development skill assessment; it purports to be only about "python expertise." There are definitely people out there with strong knowledge of every topic in item 3 and I'd definitely be persuadable that such a person is a "Python expert."

I just worry, when I see a list of things tagged "expert" like this, that people will take it as a learning path, which... Could be good, but there are much straighter paths to learning to be effective as a developer.
It doesn't require a 4090 to run, or to run well. 99% of customers in fact do not consider the situation dire. That's completely fake and made up. By tweaking a couple default settings (depth of field and fog are the big ones) the game runs fine.

So it's safe to say the game ships with bad defaults and the performance could be better all around. But to say 99% of customers might consider the situation dire, to be completely honest, is fucking stupid and I'm disappointed to see it here.

Python 2 seems like a weird one at this point. I am sure there are plenty of code bases in the wild that are still running Python 2, but what version? You cannot assume 2.7 and there are probably a lot of gotchas I no longer recall from say 2.3 to 2.7.

An expert will relearn the differences if/when it needs to be done.
