I've done what you described multiple times. One other tip is buy one with a lower resolution screen, and then replace the screen with a higher resolution one. Be sure to research this, though, some of the highest resolution screens need a different mobo with a higher pin connector.
SQLite had 2 bugs[1] where batch atomic writes would corrupt your DB if you used IndexedDB to back your VFS. It has been patched in SQLite so rolling a new electric release that pulls in the latest SQLite build should fix that.

As someone who spends a lot of time on trails, I can always tell when I'm getting within a half mile of a trailhead— I see another person or group of people. The best I can tell is that people want to connect with nature; they don't want to be outside. That's good enough motivation to plan a trip, especially to an easily selectable location. It's not quite enough to turn you into an outdoorsy kind of person, or transform "hiking" into more than just sort of walking around without aim.
There are ideology issues in every stream of education. I went to a religious high school where the majority of students came out of it as atheist/agnostic despite their parents or teachers intentions. I think that’s more valuable than reaching the same conclusion because your parents told you to.
Yeah, but DVDs have horrible picture quality, at lousy 480p resolution.

The answer isn't DVDs, it's to set sail on the high seas. You can get any pre-2000 movie you want there, usually in extremely high quality.
I picked the first Google results for what appears to be a pretty common problem; people carrying $20k worth of very obvious equipment make good robbery targets.

You do inadvertently highlight an issue for your argument; SF doesn't even show up on the top 20 list for violent crime. It is "well below that of other cities of a similar size" for homicides, and in the lower half for other violent crimes. Oops. https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/06/us/san-francisco-crime-bob-le...
wow! The growth after 2019 is outlandish! I'd like to conclude this is not merely "greedy AUM groups buying up all the housing stock" because that's the X factor but I can't for the life of me think of a social factor which can normalize that trend (such as say, increasing longevity, net migration, etc.)
One thing i really liked about SF was I had 3-5 parks walking distance depending on how far you wanted to walk. (no they werent filled with homeless people) Its also something that keeps me in california. The author is in brooklyn, near my family, and every time i go back to visit i go crazy. There isn't anywhere out doors to go. In the winter its cold, everyone just stays inside. Even with family, the whole point of visiting, it sucks. Big cities are fun for a few days but I need to be back where I can walk around with space.
Isn't this kind of suggesting the opposite?

Google's payments are being brought up in a trial where the government is suggesting that 36% is a massive amount of money to pay and is evidence of Google's willingness to pay billions of dollars and a massive percentage of their search revenue just to maintain a monopoly over iOS search.

The followup question is, if 36% of Safari search revenue is the cost of buying a search monopoly on iPhone, and if that's considered to be such a large amount of money to pay that it's evidence of how much Google values being the default search on iOS, then are developers getting something equivalent for their 30%? App developers pay 30% of their iOS revenue and they get way fewer benefits. If 36% is the price of a monopoly, iOS has got developers paying 30% just for access to the platform. But maybe if devs paid an extra 6% Apple would install them by default on every iPhone?

The iOS app store is a separate conversation and I don't think it should be compared to Google's payments. The context of both payment structures is different, and I don't want to act like they are directly comparable. But it is weird to me that anyone would suggest that comparing them somehow makes the app store payments look good. You're paying monopoly-level prices just to be listed on the store; if you're comparing the two then Google is getting a much better deal here than iOS developers are getting.

I mean, heck, I'll pay Apple 36% of all iOS revenue I ever make if they're willing to make my apps the default out-of-the-box experience on every single phone that they sell.

That's tautological
I'm impressed because when I verify it against the textbook it ends up being correct.

I'd love to have time to just read the whole textbook, but ChatGPT uses words that appear in the index, so I end up reading only the parts I don't already know (twice, once as phrased by ChatGPT, a second time while verifying it).

It feels like a better way to learn because you're not in passive-absorb-info mode for long periods. Instead you're in a much more active mode of alternating between asking questions, being critical of new info, and then confirm/denying it. Certainly not better than 1:1 instruction, but better than a lecture where there's only time to ask/answer two or three of your questions.
I agree, but mind you, libraries have always been consciously desired and heavily implemented. Lady Ada did it. Historically but more recently, the first operating systems began life as mere libraries.

But the worst problem I ever had was a vice president (acquired when our company was acquired) who insisted that all programming was, should, and must by-edict be only about gluing together existing libraries.

Talk about incompetent -- and about misguided beliefs in his own "superior intelligence".

I had to protect my team of 20+ from him and his stupid edicts and complaints, while still having us meet tight deadlines of various sorts (via programming, not so much by gluing).

Part of our team did graphical design for the web. Doing that by only gluing together existing images makes as little sense as it does for programming.

My conspiracy is that the US is worried about TikTok because it’s actively been pushing younger folk to the left. It has been a huge awakening to folks to learn and hear about topics that their education system has failed them on.

I don't think pointing to other ideologies really absolves the issue of unneeded political ideologies pushed on kids.

LLM’s synthesize new material that looks most like material they’ve been trained on.

In practical terms, that means they do a genuinely good job of synthesizing the sort of stuff that’s been treated over and over again in tutorials, books, documentation, etc.

The more times something’s been covered. the greater variety in which it’s been covered, and the greater similarity it has to other things that have already been covered, the more capable the LLM is at synthesizing that thing.

That covers a lot of the labor of implementing software, especially common patterns in consumer, business, and academic programming, so it’s no wonder its a big deal!

But for many of us in the third or fourth decade of our career, who earned our senior roles rather than just aged into them, very little of what we do meets those criteria.

Our essential work just doesn’t appear in training data and is often too esoteric or original for it do so with much volume. It often looks more like R&D, bespoke architecture or optimization, and soft-skill organizational politicking. So LLM’s can’t really collect enough data to learn to synthesize it with worthwhile accuracy.

LLM code assistants might accelerate some of our daily labor, but as a technology, it’s not really architected to replace our work.

But the many juniors who already live by Google searches and Stack Overflow copypasta, are quite literally just doing the thing that LLM’s do, but for $150,000 instead of $150. It’s their jobs that are in immediate jeopardy.

I never saw much discussion as to why Capital One’s IAM role for their WAF gave broad access to a number of S3 buckets. That SSRF attack should have resulted in the exposure of the WAF logs, at worst.

> not every town in the US has high rates of gun violence

Every town in the US has a high rate of gun violence if you compare it to the rest of the developed world. America's overall homicide rate is 7x that of other high-income OECD nations, and gun homicides are twenty five times higher. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26551975/

The problem is that “Darwin” really means “whatever random subset of projects Apple decided to open source”. Perhaps once it was more of a cohesive thing; I know there were attempts by others to build a Darwin-only operating system, though I wasn’t around then. But even then it was never anything more than a toy.

In any case, today Darwin really is just a subset of projects, which can’t be used (or sometimes, can’t even be compiled) without other projects that are closed source. The projects that are open source are still updated, but new projects are rarely open sourced. And that includes rewrites: when a project goes through the rewrite treadmill and gets replaced with a shiny new codebase written from scratch, that new codebase is often placed in a new project, which like any other new project is usually not open source. Thus, even though open source projects usually aren’t directly changed to closed source, the amount of functionality provided by open source projects shrinks.
If not for this deal, what would be the default search engine in Safari?

I’d be fascinated to read more about that second part
My spouse and I share a house with my spouse's sibling. My spouse and I basically have total control of an upper floor, and my spouse's sibling has the bedroom on the lower floor. The arrangement works really well for us, and our bills are signifcantly lower. With this arrangement, we get to save quite a bit more for retirement, and there's one extra responsible adult to help out with childcare (which is huge). We could afford to live on our own, but do we really want to?

In the future, we expect to "live with our parents" again, but it will be because they will move in with us as they advance in years and need additional care. So, idk, the article seems to start with the assumption that living with family is undesirable and a result of financial stress. That's true for some, sure, but it can also just be the way people prefer to live.
The most plausible explanation from this thread IMO is that plants use the potential difference between the earth and the air to measure their height. Placing a conductor in the soil means the potential difference in the air around the top of that conductor is the same as the soil, so plants determine they are shorter than they should be and need to grow more.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37351816

I'm not 100% convinced, as from my gardening experience a lot of plants will grow as tall as they can with unlimited space and resources (tomatoes are a great example of this). However maybe it's not the above ground growth that is affected. Bigger root systems give access to more reasources so maybe it is the same mechanism there.
> They’re only going to get better from here.

Every AI apology seems to include this statement. It is more likely that LLMs have already hit a local maximum, and the next iterations will provide diminishing incremental returns - if anything at all.
Iirc the FPU was basically a second processor that the first would send data to and get an interrupt when it was done (or similar).
He won't respect you simply because you're a manager. You have to earn his respect.

This is good practice even for non-autistic employees, but… it’s reasonable to expect that an autistic person knows that there is a hierarchy to their job. Depends on what you mean by “respect” here of course, but mild autism that still allows you to work in a professional setting is not a blanket excuse for being disrespectful to coworkers or managers.
Haha. Good that this leaked. These things should not be kept secret because they really put a different view on apple's privacy policies.

I actually really like this definition and will be giving it some thought. But right off the bat, that’s not how most people will see it - and so while this definition is certainly thought-provoking and useful, it doesn’t specify much that’s relatable to other tasks and therefore I think will always be a niche definition.

An AI that can make a better version of itself may not be able to communicate in any human language for example; and that is now a de facto requirement for most people to see something as AI I think.

While possible, I've never found the dollars-per-research-time conversion ratio to be particularly good for this upgrade. My advice is aimed at someone who doesn't want to become a thinkpad nerd (although that route is always available!).

I've cofounded a number of startups.
I have found that a major rule is that you should NEVER let a non technical person lead a technical startup. They simply don't get it.
It is way easier for the tech person to be the CEO/CTO and partner with a CMO/CFO who will get their hands dirty.
There is a good reason that accountancy/legal,consulting firms are run by accountant thinkers and the big tech companies run by tech thinkers.
I understand that the skill most represented in the fortune 500 CEO is technical.

So if you are looking for a tech cofounder you should look for them to be CEO.
Depends on which dataset you compare them to. The NOAA dataset in the xkcd shows about 0.6 C warming over Munroe's lifetime--but satellite datasets, for example this one [1], show only about half that.

Also, the Exxon predictions are significantly less severe than the ones the alarmists are using. So if the Exxon predictions are taken as reasonably accurate, they are a reason to be less alarmist, not more. (And if the Exxon predictions are acknowledged to be overpredicting, then we have even less reason to be alarmist.)

These are hypothetical scenarios and irrelevant to the context of this thread, which is about asking for Ubuntu alternatives now. The alternative doesn't have to be 100% community driven or completely detached from Ubuntu. It just needs to be usable without the nonsense of Ubuntu Pro or Snap.
You're not describing a position taken by sane libertarians, though. Their argument is different: that if the government didn't regulate so much, customers would depend on the merchant's reputation, possibly backed by independent testing done by private sector institutions. A modern-day parallel would be electrical safety. In the US, this is largely handled by private organizations such as the UL. You can buy a non-UL extension cord or a toaster if you want.

And look, I'm not arguing that this is a better solution. But I think it makes sense to attack the strongest version of that argument, not the weakest one.
I can relate to this. I needed a laptop quickly and found a factory display piece on eBay. It was an x230. It must have been atleast a year old. I bought it. That was in 2013 or so. I'm still using it. Upgraded the Ram once. The current problems are a slow fan and a poor battery. I haven't fixed them yet but can probably do so. The thing still works. It's running an old Debian and is my primary machine.

Show HN: Qorle – Your Personal GPT Store
Hi everyone,

I've been amazed by the number of GPTs being created, and it intrigues me to contribute to the community.

With Qorle, you can set up your personal GPT Store, allowing you to easily share them in one place. The usage is straightforward; users only need to provide the GPT link, and the platform will automatically fetch the image, name, and description, eliminating the need for manual entry.

Currently, it seems the platform is unable to fetch the data. There might be something happening on OpenAI's end that's preventing the request, I suppose. Nevertheless, you can manually input the information. I'll work on making it function properly and improving it over time.

Please let me know your thoughts, feedback, and any questions you might have. Thank you.

I don't mean to anthropomorphize it, but I am trying to drive the point that current LLMs are text completion models. The current architectures continue a script, one token at a time... that's what it does, even if its a trillion trillion parameters and heavily aligned on all all accurate human communication ever.

And that's similar enough to the basic mental loop of a "trained" improv actor to serve as a metaphor, I think.
Yeah, it rules! Every family is different, my parents and in-laws love spending time with their grandkids, and my spouse and I benefit a lot from having other responsible adults to keep an eye on the kids.
