> Not only it is cost prohibitive (because of reuse of means of production, mass production impact on cost, etc) but also it is really hard to actually engineer this stuff without a lot of experiments and needs for it, which do not happen if you restrict the use of these stuff to a limited niche.

Couldn't one argue that there is not that much engineering needed to keep producing emergency vehicles that we already have? It's not like an ambulance fundamentally changes every year.

Would each unit be more expensive without mass production? Most likely, but... it's not like firefighter trucks are mass-produced for people who use them to go to work, and some of them are adapted for firefighters, right? Still it seems like it's not cost-prohibitive.

Another example is military equipment, where I believe countries try to produce more locally (for obvious security reasons). Military equipment is typically much more expensive than consumer products, but still... it's there.

So it seems like it's not completely impossible, right?

> we're in the same situation with animals and people think that, what, understanding gradient descent or backprop is helpful? this is just some csci bs

Assuming I've actually got your point for this (and I'm not sure I have):

The backpropagation algorithm itself might be "just some csci bs" (it sure has vibes of "let us shortcut the maths rather than find out how our brains did it"), but gradient descent is nice and general-purpose — much like how evolution is both good for biology and in simulation for everything else.
You ignored my post. Drinking a beer does not prevent one from resisting. Frankly you don’t seem to be understanding the statue you posted.

Your position is ludicrous. It would imply that a married couple in California can’t have sex without it being rape if one (or both?) drink a single glass of wine with dinner. Think over the argument you’re making.
Criminals don't follow the rules. Large corps don't follow the rules.

That's fine. Globalization has the benefit of creating a larger market. As the world's population grows, and as our planet industrializes, regional blocks will have more productive, industrialized population than the whole planet did a few decades before.
Ughhhh, I won’t shoot the messenger but that is so annoying to hear.
I think security-wise, it's a much worse mechanism though.

SELinux has the better approach -- it's applied outside the application's control so it can't be subverted by some sort of environment manipulation. It's also modifiable, while pledge/unveil is hardcoded into the binary.

I really don't like the thought of hardcoding paths into the binary, it makes things extremely inflexible. Eg, say you have something that stores data. Under this model you can't run the program against an alternate data set because it'll refuse to work with anything but the official location.

I also think pledge/unveil has issues with process invocation. Either you can only restrict every process further than its parent, or an invoked process gets free reign. Neither is good.

Does google takeout work properly for any of you? Maybe I just have too many files on there, but I can't get Takeout to properly export everyting. Not to file, not to Dropbox.
Well well well, for me Google Takeout experience has been pretty bad so far.

A couple of years ago I exported all my photos with Takeout, because I wanted to have them locally in my LAN and back them up in BackBlaze. At the same type I set up SyncThing from my phone to my local disk to store and backup new photos and videos without going through Google Photos. But I did leave the "backup" to GPhotos option turned on.

Fast forward this year, my (legacy) Google account on which I had most of the photos/videos is now running out of space, so I first reduced the quality of uploaded photos/videos, then completely disabled the backup (I have another cloud backup anyway with Amazon Photos). And then I wanted to stop Google nag and annoy me 3 times a week with the "you almost have no more space in your account, buy Google One ASAP" thing.

First thing, I deleted some old shit/videos/attachments I had in GMail from late '00s when Dropbox wasn't a thing yet, but beside some video you quickly realize that photos back in the day were muuuuch smaller. Then I said, OK, I'm going to set a cutoff date for GPhotos and manually delete by UI all photos before 2013. I selected all of them, and put the in the "recycle bin".
Then my inner sysadmin instincts came in and said: "hey, did you check that you have on disk and Backblaze those photos?".

And behold! they WERE NOT THERE!

I had the Takeout output saved as a whole (it actually comes as a zipped or targz file back in the day) and sure enough it somehow stopped around 2013.
So, I went swiftly to restore the photos/videos from the bin and back to their place, and then triggered a new Google Takeout. A few hours after, I got an email saying that... IT FAILED, and that I need to retry it.

Ok... so maybe it's because I just restored the photos from the recycle bin, let's wait a few more days just to be sure. After a week or so I tried again and a few hours after, again a failure email.

This was like 2 months ago, I will try again now since I wrote already this wall of text, but, is there anybody that experienced the same? Did you find a way to get your Takeout?
Haven't logged into my hn account in ages. But I did to say this: Awesome.
Dogs like being off lead. Running around is sort of their driving motive.
That makes 2 of us.

My main challenge here is that I have 1.5T of photos in Google Photos and downloading them through takeout is very very cumbersome.

I am after a download manager that would help me dowload them directly to Synology, but the whole credential system from Google Photos makes it very hard to do so...
I didn't mean that you “can't succeed” or “can't win”. You can, but the process itself silently changes, and you are now playing by others' rules instead of your own, and get concerned with goals that are different from the original. The idea that you need to “succeed” or “win” itself is something others told you.

Power does not always come with fear, it can be unnoticeable or hidden inside candy wrapping. An existing person does not exist to corporate/government structures without official papers proving it. In the same manner, users can't access many modern services without social network account or mobile phone number (which is a qualified long term tracking id which allows these services to find their place in existing data trading schemes). Smartphones essentially belong to platform owners which merely allow consumers, hardware, and application makers to use their services. The problem is not whether “A is good” or “B is bad”, the problem is giving those abilities to decide to some entity, which people do voluntary.

The idea is that you shouldn't play with a swindler at all if you understand that it's a swindle, even if inertia or goading makes it the easier choice.
“With autism”

A large portion of the autistic community is very against this phrasing. Autism is not a disease you carry, or something you “have”.

It should be used as an adjective to describe a person:

“Autistic people less likely to succumb to bystander effect”

Edit: If you follow through to the actual paper referenced you can see they use the correct phrasing.
They need a runtime argument (such as iteration count), otherwise they'll generate indefinitely.
Hello ChrisMarshallNY,

I know the author, thanks for sharing your views. I will share your feedback ahead. I do not think their intention is to advertise Apple because most of their articles are on analysis based on patent data.
The relevant psychological variable here might be conformity.

There are interesting other connections as well, for example, men have been found to exhibit less conformity than women.
One of the compiler arguments to gcc is -fpermissive, so the warnings he wanted for the narrowing conversions wouldn't happen regardless.
Might be worth taking a step back and considering how people like Peterson and Weinstein become public intellectuals in the first place.
It is obvious but not easy to measure. And companies act like what is not easy to measure doesn't exist.
Definitely. I guess where my ignorance comes in, from an engineering perspective is the way fly.io thinks about edge databases more difficult to architect than a more traditional route creating a subdomain for a region and just replicating your entire infrastructure in a new <insert cloud provider> region?

I guess you can setup the same kind of structure inside of fly.io but I remember some of their writeups have been talking about deployment and pushing the DB to the edge and then having eventual consistency across?

I think that is my hangup on use cases.
It's not geography that determines the outcome, but a combination of the education system and what's valued and well paid.

I've been told that kids these days receive almost no arts education in the UK in the government funded education. How do you expect them to compete with countries like Portugal and Greece with visual and music education is much stronger?

Same thing about Germany. There is a non-trivial amount of Bauhaus books that are only available in German. Given how crucial that movement is for modern design, it's understandable that you see stronger pupils coming out of Germany since they might have had access to seminal texts that aren't even available in other languages.

It would be the equivalent of Andrew Ng teaching only in Turkish. You'd likely see a good amount of Turkish AI engineers coming out of that with better training than their Western counterparts? At least until the contents were translated, which in the case of Bauhaus, they never were.
May sound ridiculous but still needs to be done to protect their identity from less reputable ripoffs that may otherwise just intentionally and exactly clone the design.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is at the forefront of the change that is taking place in the fashion business.

> go through them with the critical eye, and ask yourself if people would be interested in seeing this photo 50 years from now.

This is how you lose historical records, because the critical eye of the day is going to be very different in 50 years.

have a watch of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNVuIU6UUiM , which is a video of the British Library's archive. They collect published material, no matter how mundane it might seem to be, because only someone from the future looking back can tell whether it was worth preserving.

Digital data is trivial to preserve compared to physical materials! Don't delete the digital photos!

Skyscraper are not a good or a primary target. Why bother with a tower if the same number of people can be hit easier on a surface - a demonstration, Sunday market, transportation hub etc. Also I suspect that a lot of conventional explosives is needed to topple one, and it also requires to have a specific faults. You need at least half a ton of explosives to maybe do something (basing on the amounts russia uses in their ballistic missiles against cities), and that is not guaranteed.
A lot of dogs also like to bite people, or scare birds, or scare other dogs….

Hello nullptr,

Thanks for sharing feedback about website and content. I will share it ahead with the authors. I think it wasn't their intention to advertise Apple here but if it is feeling like an advertisement, then they sure can improve they way they have portrayed this analysis.

About their internal tool. I would be open to share your feedback about this as well if you share it with me.

Would be open to hear feedback from other readers too. Please reply to my comment and I can share it ahead. Thanks.
You should patent that process.
There was a similar article postulating that dissidents (for example from Eastern Europe) are often on the spectrum, for that very reason, if they see injustice, they are vocal about it.

Can you explain how it's more compassionate for a dog to be kept leashed?

In my experience dogs are less stressed without a leash. The primary reason for using a leash is that I feel compassionate about people who are afraid of dogs or don't like them. Seeing a leashed dog makes them feel more secure.
Ask HN: Is anyone else rethinking their use of React?
Like many here, I've been using React for a number of years. But its growing (useless) complexity made me quite annoying, mainly the push to server rendering which led me to look for alternatives like Svelte, Solid and Lit, which is the one I chose. I still use React in consulting gigs, but for new projects, I'm using Lit/Web components. I'm wondering if anyone else is rethinking their use of React for similar reasons. If so, what are your experiences and what alternatives are you considering?
Circular references are not an issue, the GC is more than just reference counting.
Every autistic person I've met (and I've met a LOT of them) has this similar drive to stop injustice when they see it (regardless of how much they hate society in general).

> Substrate. Does. Not. Matter.

It only doesnt matter for counting a system as implementing a pure algorithm, ie., one with no device access. This is an irrelevant theoretical curiosity.

Electronic computers are useful because they're electronic -- they can power devices, and modulate devices using that power. This cannot be done with wood, or most anything else.

"Substrate doesnt matter" is, as a scientific doctrine pseudoscience, and as a philosophical one, theological.

The causal properties of matter are essential to any really-existing system. Non-causal, purely formal properties of systems which can be modelled as functions from the naturals to the naturals (ie., those which are computable) are useless.
Dismayed to learn that it's now virtually impossible to obtain an RPN calculator of any sort. Swiss Micros make HP clones but for the more casual user their prices are pretty prohibitive when compared to how 'mainstream' calculator prices have tumbled.

I had a graphing calculator for high school maths in the UK in the early 1990s. For me the main use case turned out to be "much better user interface than a plain old calculator" -- you got a screen that was big enough to show you what you were typing as you went along plus some of the previous things you'd calculated, plus a backspace button. Plus at the time it was a neat geeky toy that I could persuade my parents to buy for me :-) I wrote a few little programs in the not-very-powerful-or-flexible script language it used, and I probably did a little drawing of graphs just because it was there, but just having the bigger screen was the killer feature.
No, these rules exist so that everyone can have a safe space. Go find an off-leash area for your dog.
I was about to make the same comment. Literary magazines tend to encourage this style.
That’s a totally false comparison. Brown hair is something you physically have.
For the first part I can't do this at the time, but I find that going back over my old photos a few months or even a year later I can easily delete the similar photos and find the most pleasing version.

As for the second, I've become lazy - going to investigate syncthing.
Thanks for the summary.

I get the feeling that is less about the sitting and more about the activity you are doing outside of the sitting? Perhaps working out >30mins a day is just healthy for you and its not so much the sitting but the fact that people are sitting and not doing any type of physical activity throughout the day.
Well, if you pick a matching driver/kernel version, the 8111H work in a stable fashion. The hardware is mostly OK, the drivers are bad. You can even enable most offloading features without stuff exploding. On most distros, the 8111H works fine out of the box.

I still miss the times of Intel 82574L & co, where you had BOTH working hardware AND working drivers.

We had two written. One with and one without. It’s different types of problems you can solve.
There are plenty of people on the spectrum here who will disagree. Moreover, as someone in that category in Eastern Europe with local peers in that category, I find that quite a few of us share the fatalism that the region is known for and can be suspicious or mocking of attempts to stop injustice. Indeed, could it be that in your region (or in the region of the linked study) concern for social justice is simply a common feature of society such that autistic people will share it, and therefore this is a matter of culture and not autism worldwide?
Several people, for example, have 5 to 20 photos of their son or family at the same outing. It’s those redundant photograph I’m talking about mostly.

I would say, keep the photos with the most context, look in the backgrounds of photos for items, and things that are interesting, not just the main subject. A photo of a person standing in a field would be much different than a person in a photo sitting inside of a house That they own.

And you are right, I think the rarity of the photos is what makes them more beautiful, more valuable.
For adults at least there's also the calculation of "What will this cost me?" You will see people with Downs syndrome force themselves between people fighting without considering that they might themselves be hurt, while the rest of us "normies" makes the calculation that there are twenty guys beating up a single person and they could just as easily take you out as well.

In professional settings we see people not speak out against obvious violations of proper conduct, ethical behavior and wrong doing out of fear. E.g. I know a nurse who should speak up about any number of violations in her workplace. They aren't serious enough to get someone killed and if she does she'll never work in this part of the country again. So yes, should should do something, but the personal cost is immense.

Actually, it does sound a bit sociopathic. Maybe it's just the average person succumbing to a sociopath society.

Show HN: Nginx and Let's Encrypt in 3 minutes using Docker Compose and CLI tool
The open source project <https://github.com/eugene-khyst/letsencrypt-docker-compose> provides a Docker Compose project and a CLI configuration management tool to automatically obtain and renew free Let's Encrypt SSL/TLS certificates and set up HTTPS in Nginx for multiple domain names.

Nginx is configured to support IPv4, IPv6, HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and optionally, WebSocket, and can be configured to serve static content, as a reverse proxy for a backend, or for PHP-FPM.

When using Kubernetes Let's Encrypt SSL/TLS certificates can be easily obtained and installed using cloud native certificate management solutions.

For simple websites and applications, Kubernetes is too much overhead and Docker Compose is more suitable. Thus, this project was created to easily manage, install and auto-renew free SSL/TLS certificates with Docker Compose.

In addition to obtaining and automatically renewing SSL/TLS certificates, the following features are supported:

* Switching from staging to a Let's Encrypt production environment;
* Adding new domains without downtime;
* Removing existing domains without downtime;
* Manually renewing all Let's Encrypt certificates;
* Running on a local machine not directed to by DNS records;
* Advanced Nginx configuration.

Documentation is available on GitHub <https://github.com/eugene-khyst/letsencrypt-docker-compose>.

That's my point though. He didn't need to say it again cause he wouldnt add anything to it.
So far as I know, I ain't moving anything.

If you disagree, rephrase your point, because if I'm missing it here then I never knew what it was in the first place.
AFAIK there is no way to follow instructions from somewhere that results in an actual working system. I think there's something experimental that works on top of a Smalltalk system, but that it's not able to work independently of that. I also don't remember all source code being available.

Oberon is able to run on actual hardware and works in various emulators.

I do love the research they did for STEPS though, it's unfortunate it didn't result into an actual release.
