Such as what? War?

Climate change still hasn't delivered on all the fear, and it's totally unclear whether it will extinct the human race (clathrate gun, etc.) or make Russia an agricultural and maritime superpower.

We still haven't nuked ourselves, and look at what all the fear around nuclear power has bought us: more coal plants.

The fear over AI terminator will not save us from a fictional robot Armageddon. It will result in a hyper-regulatory captured industry that's hard to break into.

Establishment art is just technical proficiency mixed with good marketing. In fact, you can do what artists like Jeff Koons do and just skip the skip the technical proficiency step. I don't see how, at its core, it is any different from what this TikToker is doing.
Researcher discovers a safe, simple way to make disinfectants work better
Here's the brief response I offered earlier today when asked what this actual does:

I don’t really expect significant changes. We are in a more balanced market today than when these lawsuits were first filed. Many sellers will find it advantageous to offer buyer agent compensation. If/when we return to a seller-advantaged market, some buyers may need to pay their agents directly, which could involve rolling those costs into their financing. Lenders are more of an expert than myself on any issues in doing that, but it appears to happen in other states already. One of the problems of these lawsuits is the conflation of agency with payment. States - both WA and OR, for example - are working to fix the agency problem that wasn’t made explicit to buyers post-subagency. But, I don’t think there’s any question that buyer’s having to directly pay buyer’s agent compensation will be a higher cost to buyers.

Show HN: We've built FinWise over the last 7 months
Hey HN :)

My husband and I have spent the last 7 months building FinWise, and I'm excited to share it with you. FinWise is the modern way to manage your personal finances, including budgeting, net-worth tracking, financial planning and forecasting, reports and insights, and more.

Jason and I have a background in software engineering and finance, and FinWise is pretty much all we've been doing over the last few months. So far we have just over 300 sign-ups, and we've been rolling out new features on a daily basis.

Our app is built in Next.js, Typescript and PostgreSQL, and we have many more exciting features planned for the next few months. We've been using this as an opportunity to expand on our AI knowledge, and have an AI Assistant feature planned next. We've implemented multi-currency from the get-go, support bank syncing using Plaid in USA, Canada and South Africa, and are planning to expand into Europe soon.

Would love to hear your thoughts :)

I mean, this cuts both ways. One of the most consistent predictors of success in public school is parental involvement.

The only school I ever went to that was good for socialization was community college. Tbh, for learning too. I basically learned all of math, from arithmetic up, as an adult at community college, to compensate for learning nothing and getting pushed through all of the grade levels at public school.

I wish they had community colleges where I live now lol.
Companies are already doing layoffs and hiring offshore. They dont care about you or me or anybody but profits.

Things will estabilize at some point and it's better for 99% of people if there are pro-workers laws in place by then.
Ohm is a wonderful tool. I used it to create mation-spec [0], a readable structured configuration and specification format to automate and run code. I look hard trying to find something like it before giving up and creating one myself with the help of Ohm. The mation-spec is the basis of an origami fold simulation language to describe and simulate origami folds. PM me if you like to see it before I post the simulator on HN.

You can spin up Windows 95 and its games today!

But, for a long while now, the forecast has been looking increasingly grim for emulation and software preservation.

That said, if you're targeting the performance envelope of 1990s games, there are options without resorting to anything so esoteric as emulated consoles.

yeah!

that one time my toilet stayed the same for 5 WHOLE years, but you know, there are totally toilets with bidet's, toilets that are motion sensored, tall toilets, short toilets, toilets meant to squat over, ad nauseum.

so for this reason it's totally ok for YOUR toilet to need be replaced every few months! yeah, that conclusion absolutely follows from the premise.

or not, and maybe the other posters point is that there being other needs and variations doesn't mean a specific tool for a specific needs must always change.
For a good CEO 100x seems fair, if we consider there's a 10x range within workers already.
If “being useful” is your argument for it, I don’t think you’re ever going to see eye to eye with people who don’t want it.

It’s like you’re arguing about the good things the church does when it’s a discussion on separation of church and state.
That would be perfect ammunition for an appeal.
If you think that's bad, check out the (also terribly sourced) citation they linked for Apollo's exposure of 20 mSv through the Van Allen belts[0]:

"The actual amount of radiation received by the Apollo astronauts during their passage through the van Allen belts is difficult to determine but it is estimated to be about 2 rems (or 20 milli-Sieverts)."

A hyphen between prefix and unit? Capitalizing a unit that's named after a person? It's an absolute mess.

This is not necessary: my Librem 5 doesn't rely on blobs in kernel and runs FSF-endorsed GNU/Linux, PureOS.
But isn't the whole point of the twitter files that the government compelled these companies to apply those labels, even when they felt they shouldn't have?

I am genuinely asking becuase I do not understand the majority opinion here.
> maximizing the value of their client's home by reducing the commission the seller pays.

Selling a house quickly (convincing the seller to take a qualified and likely-to-close offer) still dominates as a strategy over eeking out a few extra points of contract price. As an agent, taking 1.25% or 1.5% of a $950K sale quickly is way better than holding out for a $1M offer.

The difference in commission at 1.5% on a $50K delta in sales price is $750. Freeing up your time to work on the next listing is more valuable.
I wouldn't go that far. you've got blackmailers, scammers, child pornographers, blackhats, ad-tech, etc
It's a race dynamic. Can you truly imagine any one of them stopping without the others agreeing? How would they tell that the others really have stopped. I think they do believe that it's dangerous what they're doing but that they would rather be the ones to build it than let somebody else get there first because who knows what they'll do.

It's all a matter of incentives and people can easily act recklessly given the right ones. They keep going because they just can't stop.
There was a point in the past where various empires were competing, and by no means was it clear that The Roman Empire would end up dominating the world close to being a monopoly.

The Roman Empire is moving away from the parameters of their implicit win, including the kind and amount of victories they score. Had they "competed" in world domination with the current policies, maybe everybody would speak Persian by now.

No, I won't be subject to the Byzantine Empire - because that was not part of the deal either. The empire was build on Rome. So until the Byzantines can figure out how to win _reasonable_ amount of _military victories_ - I won't pay taxes.

Do you realize how shallow your argument sounds ? :)) Of course Youtube is turning the screws now that they have the lock-in. Ethics have nothing to do with it. And they will turn the screws until you either pay up or stop going there all together.

As a practical matter, I think the article happens to describe the steps to test it out yourself. I suppose the absence of a mention of binary blobs doesn't necessarily mean that they're not being used, I think it's plausible that there aren't (m)any.

> How do I run AOSP using Mainline?

> One might think it is quite hard to run AOSP with mainline on such a new platform, but in reality, not at all! Thanks to the long term effort of Linaro and Google engineers making it possible to run AOSP with vanilla Linux releases. Thanks to Amit Pundir for providing a helping hand to get AOSP on this platform.

You should also check out SigNoz [1]. It's an open source observability platform with metrics, traces and logs in a single application & based natively on opentelemetry.

One of the reasons many people use SigNoz is to avoid the vendor lock-in which comes with adding proprietary SDKs of closed source products like DataDog and New Relic in their code.

If anyone is starting their observability journey today, I think OpenTelemetry is a very good place to start. You can instrument with Otel SDKs and chose a visualization layer/backend which suits your needs best

(Disclaimer: I am maintainer at SigNoz)

Upgrades bricking hardware seems to be a common failure mode for macOS. For example Big Sur bricked a bunch of 2013 and 2014 MBPs: https://www.macrumors.com/2020/11/15/macos-big-sur-update-br...

I was affected by this and like many users the problem was fixed after replacing the I/O board. In my case, I did it myself using a $10 part from Ebay since the machine was well out of warranty at that point.
So why downvote me? We've got this already in our buyer's agency agreements - if you as a buyer want to negotiate compensation with your agent, you have the ability to do that. Similarly, in both states where I work, you as a seller have had the ability to choose what, if any, compensation you want to offer to a buyer's broker. None of this is actually that different from how you negotiate (or not) with any other professional - your lawyer, your accountant, your financial advisor, etc.
> I also loathe the new breed of garish, high end restaurants.

We have a trend of high end restaurants being what I view as night clubs. If your steak restaurant has a DJ, you're doing it wrong (IMO). It all feels Vegas-y to me, and I'm not a fan of Vegas.
In law there is such a thing as legal person as opposed to natural person. When it comes to commercial law, its provisions tends to relate to legal persons.
That's a total lie. The reason that TikTok (nee Musical.ly) has great recommendations is because they use ByteDance tech, which was 100% Chinese developed.
At what point does this become not "homeschool", but "school, with different licensing requirements for the teachers"? It doesn't seem right to discuss this setup in the same breath as children schooled by their own parent.

I’m an apple fanboy and let me be the first to say their SDLC since the pandemic has been AWFUL. I have never had so many bugs with apple devices. And I’m not talking about giant catastrophic bugs you would expect with windows or Linux. I mean little things, like random phone reboots, overheating, my mac restarting when I wake up from sleep, internet issues, etc. They need a shake up and to stop focusing on all these features NO ONE uses. Can one person tell me they use the features they just announced? Nobody even knows you can edit an iMessage still.
Smaller houses would be very helpful for several generations of would-be homeowners. Most people do not want a McMansion as a "starter house" nor can they afford it, but that's typically what's available.
The reality is that governing, to the genuine benefit of society, in the age of social media is now 10x-100x harder.

We're in an age where the free electronic sharing of, not merely false, but crafted disinformation and propaganda against the interests of society, is trivial and common place.

This declaration fails to mention this problem, let alone engage with it. Rendering its protestations mute. It offers nothing to people in power: no solutions, no analysis of the problem, no even basic acknowledgement.

This is deeply unpersuasive.

The question for this group, which they must answer to be taken at all seriously is: how do you enable collective action in times of serious hardship, crisis, or political turmoil in an age where people's exposure to information is proportional to how much that information outrages them?

You can say, if you like, "you do not" -- that is at least honest. But this reads dishonestly. This takes place in a world without Jan 6th, without qanon, without the similar unrest in brazil, the toppoling of democracies in africa -- without the arab spring and it's awful failure.

The world we live in requires answers to these problems more sophisticated than a highschool essay.
I think the fundamental tension here is that platforms want the promote material to optimize engagement metrics, and people want to benefit from that boosting, but platforms don't want to boost anything that's too bad. They don't just host content, they act as promoters and editors.

Nobody gives a shit that racists have email newsletters (I assume they do?). I mean, people might, in the abstract, rather they didn't, but nobody's really trying to stop them or say they can't do that. Google adds a "what's trending in email" feed to gmail and starts promoting those on there, however, and a whole lot of people (and advertisers) might ask Google to knock that shit off. And... like, rightly so?
It's because companies care about profits that these laws are harmful to workers.
Today I had to DFU restore my macbook because I wanted to reinstall it, but built-in restore over the web did not work. My base system was 13.2, it downloads all the files for 13.6, it filled bar to 100% and then spewed error.

It's obvious that it's some incompatibility between 13.2 base system and 13.6 install. Apple quality is atrocious these days. One would have thought they would test the most basic scenarios before releasing their x.6 software.

And worse of all, there's no official (or even unofficial, at least I wasn't able to find one) way to create USB boot installer without another Mac or to DFU restore Mac without another Mac. Do they think I live in Apple Store? I don't have other Mac. I was able to DFU restore with libimobiledevice, god bless its creator, but it really should not happen. Windows or Linux are so much more transparent compared to macOS.
Who does the pruning, and what is considered repressive?

For purposes of this discussion, let's talk about the origins of Covid-19 and how surgical masks had little effect on the lab-borne virus. Or we can talk about how anti-maskers' rhetoric harmed a vulnerable population, and how discussions of lab-vs-wild distracted us from what should have been our immediate concerns.

Should the government talk to Twitter about my statements to that effect?

What about forcing vaccinated pupils to share a classroom with unvaccinated peers?

Some people will share their (reasonable!) opinion that allowing unvaccinated students presents a hazard to the school population. Others will share their (also reasonable!) opinion that denying education based on vaccination status presents a hazard to the development of our kids.

These are examples! I do not want to actually debate Covid 19 shit. Instead, I'm using it as something concrete to get at the larger ideas about speech "cultivation" and "pruning", and who decides what is "repressive".

So, who's building the garden walls?
I'm sure internally folks are looking at more stuff, but blog post wise, it makes it look like you're intentionally omitting it (see https://youtu.be/lJ8ydIuPFeU?t=1239)
I know people will knock on realtors, but I've had nothing but good experiences with them. There's so much stuff I don't know that I don't know, and the ones I've had have been very helpful. Worth every penny, in my opinion.
The speed is really impressive! I tried it with a moderately challenging task and it failed pretty spectacularly, hallucinating class methods and missing a bunch. It seemed like the UI struggled with my code too, breaking in and out of markdown somewhat randomly. I was impressed enough I may try again with some simpler stuff, but I'm not quite ready to switch away from GPT4.
If you have the ability and desire to homeschool then it's always going to be the best choice. Only if you feel like you won't be a good teacher or you do not have the resources should you consider public/private school. My kids are in public school because neither my wife nor I have the time to homeschool. However, I feel like we still do about 25% homeschool because of the engagement required to actually educate our kids. They basically goto school to sit in a chair until the workday is almost over.

/both our kids are in one of the "best" public middle schools in DFW supposedly. It's still filled with the most wildly incompetent staff imaginable.
Abstraction Layers.

We've gotten to point with the huge number of abstraction layers (and now AI as well) that troubleshooting what causes system to do what it did, has become so unwieldily difficult to diagnosis.

> Although the game is just 600 lines of which I haven't written ANY, [coding the game] was the most challenging part

Not quite hello world, but not too much more difficult than a shopping list. The really impressive thing to me is you can make angry birds with just 600 loc (and a couple libraries)
No, I don't. I can reject the notion of free will on the basis that I would never consider a "random process" either "free" nor an expression of "will".
I wouldn’t. The internet has been a game changer for scammers. Back I. The day, you could still run a boiler room, but it was an actual office in the US law enforcement could raid.
Everyone will think this impressive, but they’re not game developers.

You could literally make all this in probably 24 hours and not spend any time mucking around with prompts.

Like what are we even seeing here? Basically a tech demo of a physics engine, a little UI interaction for throwing a collidable entity into other entities, and some code for setting up a level?

Show me the maintenance, adding new features, bug fixing, cross platform compatibility, shaders, networking code, sound, etc.
My feeling is that LTD are ok at early stages, when you are still figuring out your audience and trying to get some momentum. I guess you could push it as long as the price is bigger than your average LTV? I have the impression that there is an increasing rejection to the subscription model, but may be this was always the case...
No discussion that time, sadly. I see you've posted some other interesting links that didn't get traction either - perhaps try submitting some of them again? There's a lot of luck in what does and doesn't make it onto the front page.
Great job explaning the whole process! I've been building some similar stuff recently for my procedural space-exploration side project (https://www.threads.net/@mrsharpoblunto/post/CufzeNxt9Ol). I was planning to do a dev blog post writing a lot of the details up, but yours covers most of the tricks :)

A couple of extra things I ended up doing were:

1) Using a lower-res texture to modulate the high-res raymarched density, this gives you control over the overall macro shape of the clouds and allows you to transition between LOD better (i.e. as you move from ground level up to space you can lerp between the raymarched renderer & just rendering the low-res 2D texture without any jarring transition.

2) Using some atmospheric simulation to colorize the clouds for sunrise/sunset. To make this performant I had to build some lookup tables for the atmospheric density at given angles of the sun.

3) Altering the step size of the raymarch based on density, I took this from the Horizon Zero Dawn developers where they have a coarse raymarch and as soon as they get a dense enough sample they step back and switch to a higher res step until the density hits zero again.
Because the US legal system (and many others) are adversarial, people can still sue you on very flimsy grounds and you still have to respond or you lose by default.

It may very well be that the troll doesn't have a solid case, but you don't hook any fish if you don't get your line in the water
