From what I’ve seen while cycling between cities in the Netherlands, the “rural” areas still have houses frequently (and even more in “urban” areas - for example between The Hague and Rotterdam you probably won’t be able to go 500m without finding a house/building).

However, the density of most cities isn’t that high (most/median residential buildings are probably 4-5 floors or less, except Rotterdam).
For comparison Mumbai has way more taller buildings than almost any city in the Netherlands except for Rotterdam, and Mumbai hasn’t had a lot of high rises due to FSI limitations.
FYI, getting an SSL error
Given how much they neglected Quake Champions (or the Quake IP in general) this doesn't come at a surprise I'd say.
But then...Poettering went to work for Microsoft, so...maybe they were right?
What I really want to see is a music programming language that does not require elementary knowledge of trig. In fact, I don't want it to use any numbers at all.

They all do: Faust, Impromptu, ChuCK, csound, SuperCollider, etc., etc. I suppose that by itself should convince me that there's no other way (there are things like Orca, but I'm thinking of things that look more like conventional programming languages).

I seldom think about numbers when I'm programming a synthesizer -- I just turn this knob more this way or this slider down a bit. Why can't a music programming language be more . . . gestural? Not sure what the right word is. I want the benefits of a textual programming language, but I don't really want to have to start thinking about sound waves in terms of literal numeric frequencies, particular since I really don't do that while doing sound design.

I don't meant to pick on your project in particular; it looks really cool. But since you're writing one of these, perhaps you can answer my question. Why do these languages ask synth programmers to think in terms of precise numbers when programming an "actual" synth isn't really like that at all?
Smokers Should Be Screened for Lung Cancer–Even If They Quit Long Ago
I'd say corporations and their wealthy owners, far more than any other factor, are responsible for the anti-union sentiment in the US.
The only challenge of intermittent fasting for the masses if anyone happens to need to take medication in the morning that requires some food. Moving the eating window isn't always ideal.
Don't pick 1. There's so much happening! A nice starter:

I had an internet connected baby monitor. In the end we decided to just get a local RF one and it is a far better experience. Pair it once, and it just works. Lower power. Very reliable. Coverage throughout the house without issue. No apps to crash in the background. No dropped streams. No needing to log in to the app. No worries about features getting taken away. No subscriptions. No having to send data out to the cloud just to pull it back down. Lower latency. Far easier to just hand the display unit to the baby sitter instead of trying to talk them into installing an app and sharing a login.

These days the local RF ones are very solid. Modern DECT-based systems use encryption and frequency hopping so once paired you're not realistically going to get someone listening in.

The only benefit I see for these cloud connected cameras is if you're out of the house and are going to check in on the baby sitter, but in the end I'm not even a big fan of that feature. There's tons of pros for the local RF ones and few negatives, and mostly a bunch of unknowns and concerns with the cloud ones.
The error message is along the lines: "You can't sign in here with a personal account. Use your work or school instead".

Which means, that you need to associate your existing account with an @outlook.com address. It seems, that Microsoft changed that requirement somewhere in 2020/2021.

Yes, previously Microsoft account with whatever email address was enough. But they changed that.

I stumbled upon that while upgrading to new hardware, which requires new activation of the Office products.
Yup, originally had Nexus One, found out it couldn't be upgraded after a couple of years because of the decision to make the installation space so small. Upgraded to Nexus 4. Battery expanded like a blowfish after a year. Bought a Nexus 5. The Gorilla glass wasn't as durable as my clumsiness confirmed. In between the 4 and 5, bought a Nexus 7 (I think, it was a pad device), it's display stopped working almost 1 year to the day.

Back to the Nexus 5, after dropping the 5 accidentally and destroying it, upgraded to a mid-range LG phone. Wow. It was great. Still works like 5 or 6 years later though 2 years after buying it, LG announced they would exit the smart phone business. That was a blow.

The LG will works but is slow now so the only option left was a Samsung phone, mid-upper range. About a year later so far so good but I had to disable a thousand crap apps they install and revert a thousand more crap default settings. Worse than buying a new Windows PC which is why I use Ubuntu Linux on my PC.
UAW and Sean Fein !
70% of the working population in Sweden are union members and they have wide support in society (that is a higher participation rate than US elections). The unions are the people and speak for them.

> Isn't it not far off for the union to decide meat is murder

If they did something controversial like that, everyone would quit the unions, even as it stands today, there is not actually much reason to be in a union aside from solidarity and cooperative discounts on stuff like insurance
Gleam did used to have this, but the community collectively decided that it was actually quite annoying in practice to always have to write `_, ` after every function
I've not really tried fasting, at least not deliberately. I do notice that the times I get hungry differ depending on whether I'm at home or at work. Expectation of when you are going to eat does seem to factor into it somehow.
Almost 70% of employees in Sweden are members of a trade union, so it makes a lot of sense that they have a say. This mechanism exists in other European countries - sympathy strikes happen only after negotiations have been refused or failed.
Deadbolt companies aren't liable for customers leaving their products unlocked, right? Is this so different?
Effect Handlers for WebAssembly
Use products on open protocols. Zigbee is the current standard. Anyhting using a zigbee radio, and to a lesser extent another protocol called zwave, can talk to any hub with a compatible radio. They are local, dedicated radio networks that do not have to talk to anyone else's servers.

There is a newer protocol called "matter" that a lot of big names have gotten behind. These devices are slowly rolling out, but id check for matter compatibility with any hub at this point.

As for the hubs, use open source that are not cloud based. The largest and most active project is called Home assistant. Its robust, has good options to build it yourself or buy devices, and it's dedicated to being forever FOSS. Another hub in the same "local, FOSS" ethos is called Hubitat. Their UI/hardware was easier than home assitant for a long time, but not really anymore. I still consider them more "turnkey" but both systems work great and support literally thousands of devices.
They cost about 20% more, for now. That’s not a ton considering you can break even on gas alone in 2-3 years, depending on how you drive.
KDE seems to be much less stable for just about everything, but especially under Wayland.

But I've learned to understand that some peoples' experience is almost the exact opposite.
Bingo re dopamine!
Yeah, 100% agree it sucks. But what I'm responding to is, "I dread of looking around trying to decide what I'll give up to get a headphone jack." I'm saying it's not worth making an enormous sacrifice to retain the jack.

I've been using adapters for at least 5 years at this point, I've never had a port break. The dongles do break after 4~6 months, which sucks, but they're only like $8-10. Buy a handful and swap in a new one as they break. It is a downgrade, and you're right to complain, but again it's not worth making a big sacrifice over.
So trans women arent doing well vs other women because there are fewer of them competing, but also women arent doing well vs other men because there are fewer of them competing.
If your only issue is the potential that a person has based on their testosterone, then maybe we should have no gender division, but testosterone categories instead.
It seems it would make more sense than preventing both cis women and trans women from competing in a sport just because their hormone levels are too high (a trait we're apparently already directly pre selecting for)
What I'm arguing is that we're taking 2 steps forward and 1 step back rather than a linear path of improvement. In this case one of the steps backward being the walled gardens, steps forward including the democratization of the internet as a whole.
It doesn't have labelled arguments. It can roughly simulate them using an object, but there's a slight performance cost to doing so.
Our collective agreement doesn't guarantee absolute minimums for all things. For example on on-call compensation: "Unless a local agreement has been made on standby compensation, the employee is paid 40% of the normal hourly salary."
No API?, No Problem
I did a thing, let me know your thoughts on the comments below
For a software engineer, these are great points to follow if the goal is to be the incompetent person on the team in a few years...

Personally, while I find myself frequently in too many meetings or spending way too much time with email, or $DEITY, git rebasing to satisfy some power-hungry gatekeeper it is the little side projects that save my sanity. While many are the equivalent of throwing paint on a canvas, it is cathartic. So maybe the one good thing to come out of the google mgmt style that everyone seems to have copied (not the side project bit, all the other garbage) is the 20% time.
Are you comparing individuals to a company?
Modern paging/swapping can take a good bulk of higher memory pressure... but it comes at the cost of SSD wear. Mind you, even extreme SSD wear would result in ~7 year "failure" rate... but the SSD not being replaceable is kinda a slap in the face.

For most people, 8GB is still fine. You're not getting robbed, applications have become too bloated. But the price for 8GB is a bit dumb.
There’s this directory of mastodon instances one is invited to browse to pick one, and after sifting through an insane amount of instances that are no longer up, instances that highly favor furry anime erotica, instances that are inclusive of LGBT+ people to the point of exlusion of everyone else at all, instances that are full of left wing activists so peaceful and welcoming that they have users with nicknames like “Let’s dismember Scott Adams” and user avatars with the sickle and the hammer, I’ve come to a conclusion that it’s not an environment I’m going to enjoy much.

Since “the federation” is actively nurturing the environment to be like that, my hopes are not high.
Getting status information from the door is the entire value prop from something like the ratgdo. It's the only reason I ordered one. Otherwise, momentary switches with HA integration are readily and cheaply available.
I always struggled with understanding how Germans could accept Hitler. It finally clicked when I saw Trump rising to power. Of course they are extremely different, but seeing half a population accept (to me) obvious lies and disinterest in truth, I didn't find it so hard to believe what happened in the thirties in Germany any more.
Valuable data is in the eye of the beholder: such as burglars, home invaders, stalkers, panty-sniffers, voyeurs, blackmailers, robbers, kidnappers, spies, squatters, vagrants, wild teenagers and dumb adults that are scouting for their next juicy target.
That's interesting! How long were your fasts?
As Michael Burnham from Star Trek so wisely put it “It would be unwise to confuse race with culture.”

Culture, unlike genetics, is fluid and easily changed (compared to genes)

For something like what your suggesting to occur, the loss of attention, or the inability for loss of attention span would have to become heritable.

At the moment, assuming the internet does erode attention span, those whose attention spans were most eroded would have to be heavily selected against. That means, their loss of attention span or their propensity to lose attention span with internet use would have to pass through gamete into the next generation.

If it’s not heritable, then the Amish are not “immune” because as soon as the Amish moves across cultural lines which is inevitable (many of which do, they routinely leave that culture) they’d be faced with the same issues. On the flip side, many within the non Amish community who choose not to use the internet would flourish without being Amish. (Since internet usage and its loss of attention span would be cultural and easily changed)

Natural selection only works on the level of the genes. Unless aspects of culture can be attributed to genetic diversity, then they are simply fluid, and not something that can aid in their reproductive advantage.

One could argue that the Amish do hold some genetic differences that make them seek out the culture they hold, and be as fertile as they are, but that’s definitely not clear to be the case.

If such cases were true, then perhaps one might argue for cultural diversity as a proxy for genetic diversity. But I don’t know that there has been any support to show cultures are genetically heritable. In fact I believe the opposite has been shown, when taking or moving populations out, they easily assimilate, showing that those cultures are definitely not heritable.
It seems to be back up, but we had a 7 minute 52 second downtime here.
Well, they are now. But honestly, it was surprising for me to discover that the people pushing for the wiretrap were actually only the ones selling wiretraps. I really expected some larger conspiracy.
> open models trained on scraped data regardless of where it came from are valuable enough

That's theft.
Recommended maintenance is every six months. That’s considerable and really only applicable to new cars.
> Let's not pretend it doesn't exist

This is a common straw man. No trans advocate I've heard pretends that sex doesn't exist. Indeed, what would be the point of medically transitioning if one thought sex wasn't real? Instead it seems like trans opponents like to pretend that sex is the only thing that exists or that gender identity and expression do not exist.

Additionally, sex is more complicated than a binary m/f - the obvious examples of intersex individuals or androgen insensitivity[1] come to mind. So yes, sex exists, it's not a binary state, and it's connected to but not fully descriptive of gender identity.

In my homeless youth I intermittently fasted out of no choice. I was really skinny.
Excellent site ... except for the UI nit of not being able to judge how long the article is ... on my browser, at least.

Saved for later as I had no idea how long it will take to read it ...
There's a good couple of chapters on the catacombs in Robert Macfarlane's book The Underland (https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/53121631)
Some of the commenters under your comment shows that Hacker News is not a “good place”. Pseudoscience is strong here. At least we got answer to that, but not to your question.
Good to note it's not impossible to be in a calorie deficit and not lose weight. Lipedema for instance makes it impossible to lose fat on the legs and arms. Hard to get a diagnostic for it too. Other than that your comment is right, you can also not lose weight when doing IF, it's all about calories in calories out.
So they'll send images with encrypted information hidden in colour channels. Are we gonna ban sending images?
I've personally never scaled a B2B&C company from 0 to over 1 billion users in less than a year, but I do feel like it's probably pretty hard. Especially setting up something like a good support organization in a time of massive labor shortages seems like it would be pretty tough.

I know they have money, but money isn't a magic wand for creating people. They could've also kept it a limited beta for much longer, but that would've killed their growth velocity.

So here is a great product that provides no SLA at all. And we all accept it, because having it most of the time is still better than having it not at all ever.
I smashed the screen on my phone, $30 in parts or $400 new phone? I went with former since I'm broke. One day I'd be interested in a folding phone, the ones that fold out into a large square vs. razor but I'm not dropping $1K on it. I like buying my phones outright/one time price.

In a similar vein I won't buy like a MBP that's $3K granted they do last a long time eg. I still have a 2015 MBP going strong.
> and computer nerd stuff. Wow. Boring.

if not even computer nerd stuff©™ interests you, I wonder what you're doing on HN :)
Our prod app is back up after being down for about 3 min from 10:48-10:51am EST
1. We're planning on providing an extension system to run preliminary validations on the data.

2. Cause nearly every who's-who AI company is facing lawsuits for doing just that.

3. You're referring to LLMs and other high data models (this doesn't really apply as much to things like healthcare). While that's true, think about it this way -- each piece of data might not be worth a lot in the beginning, it's tied to the model.

As the model brings in more revenue, your data goes up in worth. And so what you're really holding is an opportunity / contract for future profits. Each one might not be worth anything, but it turns into an investment opportunity for an outsider -- you can buy the rights to the contract from these individuals once you see the company is clearly rising.

tldr; Because it provides long term opportunities, and allows you to have a stake in a company with barely any effort.
Totally unrelated! You submission history is quite interesting! I wish HN let us follow users like you!
There's a three-pronged approach when dealing with it:

- Pad.

- Communicate risks.

- Communicate assumptions.

Then when assumptions are wrong, immediately communicate that this will change the estimate. When risks hit, communicate that a risk hit, and whether or not you can absorb the impact in the planning. If not, communicate the expected delay. Pad that too.

Communicate, communicate, pad, and communicate.

(Padding, BTW, may feel dishonest, but it isn't. It is making the assumption that a certain share of you risks will strike and making allowances for that.)

If you still get in trouble for missing estimates, pad more and communicate in writing. Then when people start blaming, you can point to the emails sent. To their/your boss if necessary.
This is what I love hacker news, a comment from an actual subject matter expert.
Especially that it was a new company deliberately disabling the devices, it sounds like a straightforward criminal CFAA violation. Of course, such laws are really only for persecuting little guys doing uppity things like trying to make scientific knowledge available to the public. Even if you could convince any six-degrees-of-golf-buddies prosecutor to take the case, I'm sure the malicious crackers have some fake contract to hide behind that claims a transferable right to remotely destroy your property.
Keep in mind that $100k in 2023 is about $50k in 1995. This doesn't take into account that housing inflation has been significantly higher that CPI.
You can say that about anything, though. BigCorps aren't exactly known for adopting useful tech on a reasonable timeline, let alone at all. I don't think anyone is under the impression that orgs who refuse to migrate off of Java 5 will be looking at OpenAI for anything.
They can lock you out of the API, but they can't stop you from installing hardwired devices that simulate a press of the open/close button.

I just chucked my MyQ device and replaced it with a Meross MSG100HK--it works perfectly and natively with HomeKit--no cloud service required. Incidentally, the latency is much lower too.

The device is basically a wifi-enabled, USB powered "dry contact" switch. You connect the pigtail in parallel with your existing wired open/close button. There's also a magnetic sensor (similar to what old door alarms used) that goes near the door to verify it has closed.
CDPR makes Red Engine for their games, but has been using Unity and UE for other titles.

Bethesda didn't create Gamebryo. Gamebryo was an extremely prolific game engine back in the day made by a now-defunct company, Numerical Design Limited thogh the rights live on. Gamebryo was used by Rockstar, Firaxis, Ubisoft, and others, including some current Korean MMOs. Bethesda did indeed use it as the basis of their Creation engine.

Generally, you should pick tools for the purpose you need. An off the shelf engine may not help tell the story you want to tell—which Remedy has clearly decided with Northlight.

The death of in-house engines is one we should be sad about, because it creates a monoculture of game vision—more games will be more similar then they are different—it's easiest to use defaults when you have other decisions to make.
Capital already has this much power. This union structure gives labor a more even negotiating position.

In the US, you are a single worker negotiating with billion-dollar companies. Unless you have a very rare skill set, that means you'll be easy pickings and your employer will be able to exploit you.

In Scandinavia, you are all sector workers negotiating. This evens out the power imbalance and allows for fair negotiations.
Technically the LTE iWatches are a <5" phone, too.
To your gameplay points, you're pretty heavily incentivized to aim for the head. I played on nightmare difficulty and most normal enemies went down in 3-5 headshots. I think being unable to tell if the shadows in the dark place are hostile or not is very deliberate, to create a sense of unease.
I just upgraded from a base model iPhone 13 (I think) to a 15 pro max. I cannot see a single difference apart from the strange pill like thing at the top of the screen. Even the battery life was fine on the old one. It really feels like an “emperors new clothes” upgrade.
When argument variable names and labels are combined you have two problems:

1. Labels are accidental. If all arguments automatically create labels then the programmer has not considered and deliberately designed the API. Gleam is designed to make sure that APIs are always carefully thought about and designed as appropriate.

2. Renaming a variable becomes a breaking change. We don't believe that renaming a variable should ever result in a semver major version bump.
The only solution to this is to get literate about ai in the broadest sense possible. As shown throughout history getting literate is equal to getting freedom. History has shown that TPTB always try to prevent key technology (i.e. reading and writing) or technologic advancements away from the masses.
After the experience during covid, I think that dress-codes also serve also a social function besides the purely aesthetic/vibe. You communicate to the door that you paid attention and know what's going on and how to behave. It's not perfect but we really can't do better I think. These nightclubs are a safe-space for many to express themselves and it is important to keep it that way.
Mass coordinated boycotts by unrelated parties is severe market manipulation imo. Unions receive special status under law, this takes it too far.
