What's being discussed here looks a lot like one of the three negative individualisation types: by striving to be better than peers in order to look down upon them, by imitating the greater ones for personal gain, and by the fear of the greater ones.
So curious to know power consumption & how it compares to other rk3566's.
> How am I supposed to know which authorities it's okay to make jokes with?

With experience over time.

I think what I’m getting from this conversation is part of what’s being expressed here is a lack of awareness of social danger (don’t take that as a value judgement, just a statement). The way this looks to the rest of us is “how would I know which predator will attack me and which will not?” - and for the most part, the answer is: you don’t, so act accordingly.

I had one of those! It made this amazing clunk-wibble noise when you hit the degauss button, and weighed more than my first car. Memory says £600?
1800 Contacts has always been really great. Got an updated prescription through their digital exam, was approved an hour later, and had my contacts recieved in the mail the next day.

Anytime I've had issues they were quickly resolved, and their chat actually connects you to a human almost instantly.
I found it odd their first two examples were power and courage, where the first example ("power") is an American, the second speaker ("courage") is British. I'm picturing myself using a tool like this with an unfamiliar language where it wouldn't be immediately obvious to me, say Spanish in Spain vs Mexico, and getting very confused, very quickly.

I like it in concept, though!
Language (especially spoken language, most especially English) doesn't really have a "right" or "wrong." It has "likely to be understood by receiver" and "unlikely to be understood by receiver."

The real correct answer to anyone's "what's the right way to say...?" question is a probability distribution.
I've been searching for the perfect Steam deck controller. 8BitDo is high on my list.

I really like 8BitDo for their Bluetooth hall-effect controllers[0]. It's a decent $70 and comes with a charging stand and 2.4G wireless adapter. I just wish that controller's analog sticks were both positioned on the bottom, like a PlayStation controller. The Steam Deck also has a symmetrical layout for analog sticks / buttons. I also wish 8BitDo controller had 4 back buttons like the Steam Deck.

PDP's Victrix Pro BFG controller[1] has the back buttons and configurable layout. Unfortunately, it lacks hall effect analog sticks and don't sell replacement analog sticks. The risk of permanent stick drift on a $180 controller is just too high IMO.

The PS5 Edge Pro controller[2] is an absurd $200, but at least the analog sticks are replaceable. I'd be tempted to buy it if it had 4 back buttons instead of 2.

I'm holding out for GuliKit's rumored PS5 controller[3]. They already make hall effect analog sticks for the Steam Deck & understand the desire for 4 back buttons. Fingers crossed.

It's not strange to me at all. People use Discord for things that should be publicly searchable, like FAQs or issue tracking. This is usually what drives complaints.

If an open source project chose to track issues using a series of private conversations in restaurants, most of us would recognise how ephemeral and fleeting that is.
I run two nonprofits using wise. With both I have experienced several sudden account suspensions pending further verification. Twice (once with each account) they have asked me to upload a recent statement from our bank as proof of funds. Only problem is that they are our only bank. Sounds straight forward enough but not to them. In one case, this sad state of affairs took over a month to resolve. For over a month an alternative elementary school I founded had to run without a bank account. No supplies, no salaries. In the other case it "only" took a week to resolve.

If anyone has a recommendation for a challenger bank in the EU which works with nonprofits I'd love to hear about it.
all of those are propaganda twitters from one side, and some are even controlled by the enemy combatants.. thats like my sources are ONLY the israeli army
How many developers do you have working on that monolith though? The size of your binary isn't usually why teams start breaking up a monolith.
While I agree with you that a lot of websites overuse javascript and frameworks. Can you tell me what else I'm supposed to use if I'm going to build a desktop class web app without it becoming a huge mess or I having to end up up inventing the same concepts already existing in these frameworks?

> a tool that can only be oriented to do harm

Nuclear technology can be used for non-harmful things. Even nuclear bombs can be used for non-harmful things--see, for example, the Orion project.

> These tools are oriented by their very nature to replace human labor

So is a plow. So is a factory. So is a car. So is a computer. ("Computer" used to be a description of a job done by humans.) The whole point of technology is to reduce the amount of human drudge work that is required to create wealth.

> in the context of our economic system has a direct and unbreakable relationship to a reduction in the well being of the humans it replaces

All of the technologies I listed above increased the well being of humans, including those they replaced. If we're anxious that that might not happen under "our economic system", we need to look at what has changed from then to now.

In a free market, the natural response to the emergence of a technology that reduces the need for human labor in a particular area is for humans to shift to other occupations. That is what happened in response to the emergence of all of the technologies I listed above.

If that does not happen, it is because the market is not free, and the most likely reason for that is government regulation, and the most likely reason for the government regulation is regulatory capture, i.e., some rich people bought regulations that favored them from the government, in order to protect themselves from free market competition.
So how does it work for Openstreetmap? I mean git is not very good at handling large repositories, fsck and all that takes ages. So what performance do you get with an small geographical area?
Firstly, "don't do that" probably requires some "control" over AI in the respect of how it's used and rolled out. Secondly, I find it hard to believe that rolling out self driving cars was a play by bad actors, there was a perceived improvement to the driving experience in exchange for money, feels pretty straight forward to me. I'm not in disagreement that it was premature though.

The story in many ways is even more subtle than that -- the carbon cycle (both natural and augmented by human activity) generates ~200Gt of carbon annually, and absorbs ~200Gt of carbon. Human activity yields about 6-10Gt annually. So CO2 emissions are increased by about 3% from the natural baseline, but some of this is absorbed by natural increases in carbon sinks. We don't completely understand how the budget works out.

https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/19/4431/2022/ is a great summary of some of the more recent work in the area. It's astonishing how poorly we understand this system in the macro.
See, this is why I think you are interpreting through a very specific lens, and I am not convinced it applies.

"Landed gentry", for example, is a particularly British was of looking at things. Your source [1] says "Using a feudal metaphor that many Native Hawaiian scholars reject today, Richards described the problems with several layers of chiefs, all of whom could demand ho‘okupu." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feudalism notes issues in extending concepts from feudalism to other cultures).

I know in ethnology there was a long history of viewing everything through a Western European structure, even when it disagreed with the data. It's taken ethnologists a long time to pull back some of those blinders. From what I understand, ethnologists are often annoyed at economists who keep using outdated ethnology. (For a traditional example, the idea that before money there was only barter, when no culture has ever been shown to be based on a barter economy.)

Why then should I not trust the Native Hawaiian scholars who presumably have a better understanding of the topic and say this was neither a tax nor feudal?

> Even paying tribute to the gods is a form of tax, because people are afraid that if they don't pay tribute

Yes, squint hard enough and anything can be tax.

If a husband and wife decide to merge incomes, with the wife deciding how the money will be spent, that could be seen as a 100% tax on the man's income.

(Yes, either one could decide to not continue this arrangement. The materials you points to also highlight that Hawaiians were not bound to the land, and could move should the chief not be to their liking.)

If a skilled slave is sent to do work on another estate, and the slavemaster profits from it, giving the slave only room and board, that could also be seen as a tax, yes?

But it doesn't seem like a useful way to describe either relationship.

Which is why the "Prostitution among animals" gives alternatives, like "The researchers speculate about the possible genetic fitness advantages and disadvantages of the practice, and aren't altogether sure that the female copulates mainly in order to obtain a stone" and "females within the meat-sharing community tend to copulate with males of their own meat-sharing community. Direct exchange of meat for sex has not been observed", with only a single example of the latter exchange among capuchin monkeys.

Or from my link, using the phrase "reciprocal altruism" instead of "monetary system"?

Is "reciprocal altruism" always the same as "monetary system"?

FWIW, I entered this thread to respond to
kspacewalk2s assertion about "money", at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38060762 , not "monetary system". According to kspacewalk2s, money is required to have trade and specialization for any culture beyond a few thousand people. I think you agree that Hawaiians did not have "money" before European contact, correct?

Are these jokes? It's not at all the french pronunciation of these. As in: it's so wrong a native french speaker won't even have a clue what you're trying to say (it's so off base it's totally impossible).

Try to pronounce "pneu" (tire) in french, that's good one:

(and that's the real, proper, correct, pronunciation of "pneu" in french)
>By and large, the Palestinian civilians being murdered by the Israeli bombings are not Hamas supporters, they were just like you and me - trying to live a peaceful civilian life during a tumultuous time.

How could you even pretend to know that?

The problem is what the Powers-That-Be say and what they do are not in alignment.

We are now, after much long-time pressure from everyone not in power saying that being friendly with China doesn't work, waging a cold war against China and presumably we want to win that cold war. On the other hand, we just keep giving silver platter after silver platter to China.

So do we want the coming of Pax Sino or do we still want Pax Americana?

If we defer to history, we are about due for another changing of the guard as empires generally do not last more than a few hundred years if that, and the west seems poised to make that prophecy self-fulfilling.
Maybe. I've always been surprised at how little other
people (mostly NT) will actually say that they don't
like the situation they're in, especially if they have
the ability to change it by doing so.

Hmmm. I'm tempted to say that NTs maybe tend to express things in more subtle and less literal ways, but I think the limiting factor here is that I certainly don't have a complete catalog of which people in my life were NT and which were ND, so I can't really make that guesstimate with any confidence!

One of the most helpful things I ever heard was "If you think
you might be autistic, it's likely you are." Even if you get a
formal diagnosis and it turns out you're not, you can have
many traits of autism.

Hah! I think I like that statement.

Question.... I would welcome and be grateful for your advice!

I guess my thinking has always been that whether I get the a spectrum diagnosis or not, it's going to come down to working with those little individual traits anyway, so from a practical standpoint I haven't focused on whether or not an overarching "autism" label makes sense. (I'm also dealing with some other things in life, and therapy hours have been limited, so a spectrum diagnosis hasn't been a priority)

So my question (finally, lol) is: did you find value in that diagnosis? Practical value, and/or more intangible values?
There are a lot of Asperger's sufferers on here talking about their jobs; meanwhile my cousin with autism doesn't have a job because she can't form sentences properly and is unable to navigate any relationships at all.

I find the DSM V alterations to the terminology jarring; they seem to have somewhat erased the original autists. It's a bit like if mild epilepsy suddenly became fashionable and the people having callosotomies had to sit in hospital watching TV stars talking about how their fugue states gave them special powers.

None of this makes anything in the article incorrect, of course.
Show HN: Useful no-code tools that we used to build 35 startups
Hi! I'm leading a startup agency (I'm a dev turned CTO turned CMO).

We're building products for 14 years and our core background is product engineering.

We use lots of no-code (and full-code) tools to build startups for our clients + launch our own startups.

I was surprised that many founders still don't know much about no-code tools. So I've collected all the useful tools that rather we, our clients or close network used to actually build startups.

I'm curating this list manually and will regularly update it to show the current stable stack + few new fancy categories.

The current categories include: Landing Page Builders, Forms & Databases, Blogs & Newsletters, Design & Creator Tools, Product Management, Automation, Low-Code App Builders, Analytics, Customer Chat, CRM and Sales, Payments, Marketing, SEO, SMM, DNS & Domains, Banking & Accounting, Formation & Legal, Capital & Growth, Startup Communities

Hope you'll find something useful for your startup!

Thanks
I've gotten a few emails from my own gmail account, spoofed, which inexplicably did not land in the spam folder. This happened to me on multiple different gmail accounts, too.
That may be how you read it, but isn't necessarily how other people read it. A whole lot of people read cyberpunk literature as a warning about the negative ways technology could impact society.

In Neuromancer you have the Turing Police. Why do they exist if AIs don't pose a threat to society?
I should clarify, the cost was coming from computers that engineers used to write queries against our database - the 2KB CSV was just how we managed their permissions, and the cost of that was negligible.

The immense cost was coming from someone writing a query that translates to "I need one row of data" and then we get billed like $10-20 in idling compute. With multiple computers and several full-time SQL modellers, it adds up very, very quickly.

As the guy that just has to keep Snowflake running smoothly and isn't paying for it, it's a really nice product. I would still prefer something else on principle because it isn't open source, but eh, I guess it reduces my stress at work.
> A tool that is aimed to entirely replace humans across many/most/all industries

This is a vastly overinflated claim about AI.

Welp.
Well said. Thank you for expanding my vocabulary.
Wonder if this is related to the mini NPM outage I was experiencing earlier:

And also point to how they don't require fossil fuels too!
After thinking for a while on why it would be so, I've come to the conclusion that the truth of this statement (yours) ultimately depends on whose pair of eyes is watching it, IMHO.
I very much disagree with the characterization of WebRTC being "designed to be overcomplicated and garbage on purpose" but I do think your point about needing to not open the door to DDoS botnet capabilities is something worth highlighting.

There are a number of very challenging constraints placed on the design of browser APIs and this is one of them that is often grappled with when trying to expose more powerful networking capabilities.

Another that's particularly challenging to deal with in the media space is the need to avoid adding too much additional fingerprinting surface area.

For each, the appropriate balance can be very difficult to strike and often requires a fair bit of creativity that can look like "complication" without the context of the constraints being solved for.
I had to think about how to respond to this, because on one level I totally hear ya that there are a million little wins to be had in a billion different ways. Novel engineering tweaks and behavioral hacks are everywhere, much of it low-hanging fruit with low barriers (induction stoves, LED lights, whatever), while others eventually become a no-brainer given enough time (why not an EV if you're mostly just urban commuting anyway).

But I don't think that's quite enough, mathematically. You nailed the heart of the issue:

> It takes way too many things that make life worth living. I expect that you and others have a different perspective. I can accept that.

> Change works only when you give them something good first before you take away what they know no matter how bad it is.

Fundamentally, people don't want to lose something they've had already. Many don't even want to be inconvenienced. They view any sort of minor intrusion on their lives as government overreach -- maybe partially by personality, but also due to the intense conservative propaganda advancing this "me vs them" viewpoint on purpose. It's faux Old West ruggedness mixed with weaponized individualism. We've stopped being able to even think about collective problems, much less solving them.

For what it's worth, I don't live in a city either, but in a pretty rural area where EVs aren't super practical, frequently fly (and don't care about the contrails), etc. So this isn't me soapboxing, just pointing out that my own climate scorecard is pretty terrible too.

Maybe given a few hundred years people will trend towards wisdom and more ecologically sound behavior. But we don't really have that kind of time. It's kinda like wartime drafts... you can build up a standing army of volunteers if you have the decades and resources to slowly accumulate them, but in the heat of the moment, sometimes you just need to round people up against their will.

Climate isn't quite THAT urgent, but if we wait for volunteers... well, we've already been doing that for three or four decades. The environmentalists have been doing it forever, and other people do it here or there... and mathematically it just doesn't add up to enough. That's how we got here in the first place.

It's not a "death cult" to want stronger reins on private liberties in order to secure a collective well-being. It's an ideology, but one that half of America does not want, and without them, the rest of the world doesn't stand much of a chance. Unless China singlehandedly decides to do something about it, which might make a big enough difference.

But not everything in the world can be solved by individual willpower alone. Sometimes it's individual will that's the problem to begin with. Our freedoms aren't infinite, and our choices have very real life-and-death consequences for others in the world.
This is a very interesting site.

I took the name "Regina" as an example as its pronounced very differently between Canada/UK and US.

If you toggle through the site's region selectors it does indeed produce videos with the regionally correct pronouciation. (Admittedly I had a sample size of N=1 video each)

So yeah, its a great start!
This might be good news, but as it comes from Google and involves email centralisation, I’m sceptical.

At MailPace we already enforce DKIM, it’s pretty basic stuff. But list-unsubscribe is optional for our senders.

We can make this a requirement and manage lists for senders who don’t / can’t implement a webhook to handle it (we already default to blocking resends to emails that hard bounce).

However I am curious how Google will track this. Just because the header is set, it doesn’t mean it’ll do anything. In fact it can be used by spammers to identify legit email addresses and spam them separately.
Lastest release of the Rerun multimodal visualisation framework adds a C++ SDK
Just FYI, but that "about 1.0o F" that Google pulls is from an archived website from the Clinton white house. No Clinton has been President for over 20 years.

The 1°C increase that your link says has happened would indicate an approximately 0.8°F increase since those Clinton years. Nearly a doubling in 20-30 years from the baseline increase over the previous 100 years.
Another useful site for hearing pronunciations is Forvo:

https://forvo.com/

Those are user contributed pronunciations, so there was an effort to say the word clearly. Although Youglish might be more authentic in a sense, I prefer hearing a word enunciated precisely if I want to learn the pronunciation. And I want to hear it in isolation, at least the first time, rather than in the middle of long sentence.
Something I’ve learned as someone with high proficiency in another language that I learned in adulthood (I would never say fluent, maybe “functionally” fluent):

Poor pronunciation (I.e. thick accent) but good grammar is usually more forgiven by a native than great pronunciation but poor grammar. Because then you sound more native, but you sound a bit… mentally slow.

I am in the latter camp. My Mandarin Chinese accent is really quite good. But I sound like a child.

So my suggestion to all learning a new language: keep a bit of your accent and heavily index on correct grammar and vocab and listening skills.
> Database fear is overwhelmingly powerful in a lot of people it seems.

Database are still fairly poorly documented when it comes to administrative work.

There is an incredible amount of tutorial, books and courses on how to write sql queries and stuff... But there is almost zero content on how to properly administer a database.

I mean, from novice admin to DBA-level capabilities.

I said all this before and i'm ready to write this again: i think there's a good market space for dba-style courses.
Oh, goodness, you hit the nail on the head.

I use pattern matching in my head to develop patterns for specific people!

Sometimes, that's not worth it, so I just don't care, and that's what people notice.
