Hey everyone,

I'm Chris. SHR is a project I've been working on for a while now, its currently in public early access. Its a Digital Content Platform, meaning anyone can find/share/generate any type of digital content.

Digital content here being an image, video, book, PDF, word document, 3D file, etc. Think of it like Youtube but you can upload and find much more than just videos. You can also search for any type of digital content on the internet by just typing what you're looking for.

Why should you care?
The central thesis behind SHR is that people will prefer to have a single platform to find any type of content they need, as opposed to the current status quo where everything is hidden behind a website;

whilst Google does a great job in surfacing relevant search results for our search queries, it still lacks any sort of community where I can share what I find with others who might be interested in it and thats at the heart of what we're trying to achieve with SHR. Giving anyone that ability to generate/find/share anything they find with others on just 1 platform, instead of the myriad of forums and websites that currently exist.

So if you have any questions/feedback I'd love to hear it otherwise please give SHR a try and let your friends know about it.

Cheers.

btw, SHR is pronounced as 'share'
I suppose it depends on whether their more important goal is to provide the best possible service to their customers, or to make the most possible profit.
> I'm waiting for a ARM Steam Deck that has something like Rosetta built in.

This would solve nothing, besides maybe a better chip design, but you're bringing back the same ISA, and you'd have to bend over backwards with your new fancy architecture to painstakingly truly support old software.

> Windows has a compatibility layer for x64 applications on ARM

It's the WoW layer, there's also Arm64X and I think a x86 mode (see Arm64EC documentation?).
No. The component is named "Spreadsheet 2". It's based on React framework. Hence the title of this article "React Spreadsheet 2".
Large scale capital controls have an incredibly short history of use, prior to WWI, the use of commodity money made that almost impossible.

The most significant example is Bretton Woods, which couldn’t last 30 years without completely collapsing. Other than that you have China, the USSR (and immediate post-Soviet Russia) and a collection of failed states or borderline failed states that have implemented them temporarily and lifted them as soon as capital inflows resumed.

If a country like the US decided to remove the concept of an LLC, presumably they could prevent some level of capital outflow (which would be equivalent to nationalising all foreign owned capital). But inflows would never resume. The US (and every other advanced economy to a lesser extent) attracts capital investment from all over the world. The US government presumably has the power to transform its own population into serfs, but you’ll never convince a foreign investor to buy shares in a company that could expose them to unlimited liability (especially so if you wanted to extend that to include criminal liability), so long as there are alternative markets for them to invest in.

Furthermore, without the free flow of capital, it’s impossible to balance your payments. Meaning basically nobody is going to trade with you.

I know you big government types think you can regulate anything if you really wanted to, but removing limited liability is the most fundamentally insane, economy killing idea I’ve ever heard from this camp. It’s even more absurd than full blown central planning, because there’s at least some model by which you can theoretically operate a centrally planned economy (no matter how badly that might be).
I answered every one of those questions “yes, but why is this even a thing?” Only in shell can something as simple as global variables be a “fallacy”.
The more accurate term I’ve seen floating around is “confabulation”. It’s also a human phenomenon, but it doesn’t bring all the baggage of hallucinations.
> EGR is responsible for recirculating exhaust gases back into the intake primarily to increase efficiency, but a nice side effect is that it heats up the engine a lot quicker.

Efficiency does not need EGR. EGR only helps to keep NOX down when running efficiently. In some (many) vehicles EGR is disabled at cold temperatures.
"The loss of developer good will is worth far more than that."

This has been going on for a long time.

Developer good will lost? Then they can just go to the other iOS store to sell there apps, oops.
Once very large financial interests (those capable of destabilising international trade, funding transnational smuggling operations, or --gulp!-- financing war) are attracted to an opportunity, the game is way beyond the scope of inconsequential small-scale adopters. The latter will be wistful about their dashed hopes.

The libertarian ideology, like many others, is at best an extraordinarily naive interpretation of the individual and the world.
Yeah, and before that they ruled the bitcoin craze. You literally couldn't buy Nvidia cards for an insanely long time time because the 30 series was so cost effective at mining that everyone and their uncle wanted in on the deal. AMD has some edge in the non high end server niche, but Nvidia rules everything else. In the AI craze AMD is not even an afterthought anymore, as everyone wants Nvidia. Even companies like Google and Tesla, who used to make their own AI chips.
Most science isn't easily reproduced. Often it takes a lot of time and money to get the right equipment. The worst case is super colliders where there is one in the world capable of doing it and so we have to trust the staff. Even simple cases though is still significant effort. There isn't much low hanging you could reproduce it tonight in your basement science left.
I was enjoying the article until decolonization was presented as an example of an absurd statement.

Yes, ecocide and trauma cause inflammation. That's not absurd at all. Stress causes inflammation; that's simply the general consensus.

What's absurd is jumping to the conclusion that they are the sole cause of inflammation. It's not the Doctor's fault that some people, apparently including this writer, can't read a DAG.

Companies are going to follow the money.

Other countries will probably turn a blind eye, either:

for allies: on the proviso that the EU share the data with them.

for adversaries: a good excuse to cordon off their internal internet, which they can then monitor as they wish.
I was unaware until seeing this that India had surpassed China in population.
It's hard to say whether that would be allowed because the regulation is written in such a vague language. There is a risk that such a system would be considered to be a precautionary measure under Article 45a-1.
Which is an insane thing if it turns out to be true. Beside the ontological and criminal Aspects. The alleged Conspiracy and mass Manipulation that alone would imply is mind boggling.
it looks like a circle, but that’s technically a venn diagram.
a company may very well consider this a “security incident” or other high-priority issue, but at least in my experience, the method of reporting something like this can be vague. While the right answer should be a place to submit a ticket, even internal systems nowadays seem to not let the users set the priority on tickets and instead let L1s try to resolve everything, who may not have the experience to recognize something needs to be elevated. At that point, it seems the only good option is to run the issue up the chain and back down through the right department (which is probably more effective, at the end of the day).
Would you have delayed the first release to tackle these sounds? If so, any day not shipping products is a day closer to going bankrupt.

If you "fix" these sounds in v2, then you'll still need to explain them in the manual for v1 owners.

Ultimately it's not really a bug. People aren't used to cars being so quiet so some minor new sounds suddenly stand out.

Here’s how you can “build audience” for your startup
After interviewing 100s of founders on the [B2B SaaS Podcast,](https://youtube.com/@upendravarma?si=T1R1KTRyFYp4L5md) here’s a generic approach I believe founders can use to build audience.

From my conversations, I’ve realised that Linkedin & Twitter work best for business audience.

Linkedin typically seem to work very well for high ticket sales (say ACV > $10k) & Twitter works very well for reaching out to newer founders & SMB audience.

Pick a channel (sometimes both) & start being active. This would mean,

For Twitter:
- Regularly tweeting (use some automation tool to pre schedule)
- Shortlist a bunch of people who has your audience & start commenting (engaging) with every tweet of theirs almost immediately
- Slowly build your audience

For LinkedIn:
- Regularly post content
- Send cold connection requests to atleast 20-30 relevant people everyday (you can use automated tools if you are okay with some risk)

Slowly build audience, nurture them on a regular basis with your content, build credibility in their eyes. Within 6-8 months you should have good audience.

That’s about long term, but what can you do if you want some immediate results & absolutely no audience?

The best thing that works in the meanwhile here is to build in public communities (like Facebook groups, closed communities etc )
eg. [How building in public led to 20,000 audience](https://youtu.be/soC3Oxvl_xQ)

Hope this helps.

PS. Note that this is a generic approach based on patterns that SaaS founders uses. You might have to experiment a bit to figure out the best approach for your niche.
Agreed. If security needs to extend past domain, you are not using the web in the way the web supports.

I appreciate interesting solutions that bend the rules of the underlying technology, but (1) the web needs to be treated as if it is what it actually is, and (2) papering over the parts that cause pain is not helping anything.

Seems pretty common in Mediterranean countries.
The biggest problem is honestly obtained incorrect results. If you run 1000 experiments across 1000 labs. Few will statistically not notice a mistake and get a wrong result. That wrong result is then published as it is surprising.
I tend to write fireworks or simple particle simulations in a new language / graphics api to test for performance as my first step (aka learning how to place a pixel on the screen, double buffer or whatever, do some simple logic / math, and learn the compilation pipeline). It's always a fun task and an easy benchmark: how many pixels can I move per frame?

I did this in 2021 in GO and Ebitengine and I was blown away by the performance the screen was mostly white with pixels, how easy it was to get the context running, and how many pixels I could move on the screen at 60fps... I was truly impressed. I've been using this approach for the last 30 years I guess ;-) We're a long way from moving a few hundred pixels on a 16 bit CPU per frame... greybeard out
> I don’t think you need to involve the CIA. There’s plenty of grassroots insanity here.

Just to be clear, I didn't involve them, the CIA historically has involved themselves in this subject in a most questionable manner. It seems reasonable to assume they would do it again.

Though I personally believe they don't have to. The whole debunking-Industry is able to do that alone.
That is half true. There absolutely is a cost to initiating any change, but that is a one time cost. Some changes can yield dramatic increases in productivity or reductions to costs further down stream. If there exists proper discourse that takes this into consideration then in all fairness any veto presented is certainly not toxic.

When internal initiatives are killed or directed for purely selfish motivations, such as comfort attainment then it certainly becomes toxic. This is why I believe the scenario is exceedingly pervasive, especially in software, because comfort attainment is typically not just the primary consideration, but the only consideration.
How do you know which? Both will point fingers at the other.

Show HN: Repohistory – GitHub repo traffic history tracker extending 14day limit
Hi everyone! I'm excited to share my recent project: Repohistory, an open-source dashboard for tracking GitHub repo traffic history longer than 14 days.

GitHub's 14-day limit on repository traffic data often leaves developers without vital long-term insights. Repohistory addresses this by automatically fetching and storing traffic data for you, presenting it through elegantly designed charts. This offers a comprehensive view of your project's performance and trends over extended periods.

Features

- Traffic Tracking: Start tracking clones and views data from your first login.

- All-Time Stars History: Visualize the growth of your repo with an all-time stars history graph.

- Dashboard Overview: Easily access a dashboard view for an overview of all your projects.

Explore Repohistory to enhance your GitHub repository tracking experience! If you find this helpful, please consider starring it on GitHub!
This would also require a reduction in the "publish or perish" pressure, because it would significantly lengthen the time from study design to publishing.

Furthermore, who's going to be doing that independent reproduction? How are you going to incentivize that?

If you require independent reproduction for every paper in a field where that's even possible, that's going to mean either you need to double the rate of running experiments in that field (unlikely), or double the number of researchers in that field (also unlikely) if you want to maintain anywhere close to the current rate of papers being published. (And again, even if you could double the number of researchers, you still need to provide enough of an incentive to reproduce that literally everyone is doing so for half of the studies they run. And you'd somehow have to ensure that you don't end up with fun, interesting studies getting 15 different groups reproducing them, while less-flashy studies that are still important fundamental science languish for years without anyone caring to try.)

Given how much of "publish or perish" is institutional inertia and culture, the idea that it could be systemically "nudged" to allow for this kind of shift is essentially a fantasy. Far too many of the Old Guard who are already in charge of the tenure committees would say, "Well, I had to publish 327 papers to be given tenure, and kids these days have so many newfangled things that let them write papers faster; why shouldn't we require them to publish 327 papers, too??"
Interesting take & good point
"will muting each and every sound sell more cars?".

Maybe muting sounds won't. But a general focus on quality will. There's a good amount of potential customers who consider Tesla low quality. There's a good amount of EV competitors who deliver better quality, these days.

And, more importantly, it might not sell more cars next quarter. But not doing that will lead to a continued decline in perception, and that is a price that's only paid a few years later.

Growth mattered above all when Tesla was creating the market. That is shifting right now, and a "new products! growth!" approach won't be the winning strategy for much longer. And, most importantly, cars are not software. You can't fix reputational issues with a patch.

If Tesla waits until the competitors are quiet, it's too late. "We're almost as good as our competitor" is not a helpful selling strategy for cars. For most consumers, a car is a long-term (4-8 years) commitment, bought on a very reputational basis.
But Julia and Python tools aren't enough. The whole environment has to be reproducible. So many python libraries themselves take shortcuts which work on the current Ubuntu or current state of the web, but will fail to build later by the time someone tries to reproduce the result. Shipping a container just hides the implicit dependencies and assumptions. People need to be packaging for Guix en masse for reproducibility to be feasible. Until then, "reproducibility" is just another lie people are telling themselves and others to try and get ahead in their rat races.

Sound design is an important part for many other manufacturers. There are literally people who's job it is to make sure that things like the "thump" of a closing door sounds good and on-brand. Though to be fair it's kind of an outgrowth of legacy car manufacturers who need to sell tiny bits of progress to stay relevant.
I like these kind of projects because, probably due to of some nerdy/geeky aspects of my personality, they keep me excited about computer stuff in general, but I have to admit I will almost surely never have a use case for them, except for playing with it for a few minutes. I just did, and it was fun to see how my own web page renders in it (I have to say, way better than it does in graphical but not up-to-date browsers that lack some semi-recent CSS features…).
Discoverability is an issue with the IA in general. A lot of content is preserved that no one will ever stumble across.
This guy completely lost it. Nobody in the field treats him seriously because he publishes like 1 first paper a month with all sorts of speculations and shoddy science.
Sure when his first claims were distributed about Oumuamua, people were at least somewhat accepting that may be plausible, but then he continued pushing in that direction, as well as trying to be in the media all the time.
Realistically I think many scientists just don't care about Loeb. Maybe a small fraction are still interested in disproving his claims.
For a more serious answer though, they just got acquired. Definitely a possibility that they were holding back on announcing bugs out of fear of harming the acquisition.

I agree that password managers are a huge win from a security perspective, but sadly I'm willing to bet they are still used by a tiny minority of people, even now they are built in to common operating systems.
Speaking of Android, I haven't used any features for people with eyesight disabilities, but I can tell you the "voice access" experience on Android leaves much to be desired. I have a broken screen where only the bottom half is accepting input.

The latter is also useful to check for impending headgasket doom (or cracks) before it is otherwise visible.
writing and acting are basically all that matter. acting is reliant on direction, so the idea that the direction is bad is out. writing is also massively influenced by the broadcaster, special effects are irrelevant if you’re not a child, and what cinematography can you point to in American TV that’s better? maybe you’re confusing films with TV

ITV and Sky manage to find plenty of poor actors, so clearly having good actors is not just some inherent unearned feature of British TV

besides all this, the BBC is much more than just dramas. it has the best documentaries bar none; some of the best and earliest sports coverage; probably the highest quality tv news and interview work; probably the best late night show; BBC radio 4; a hundred great podcasts; they literally invented TV streaming. etc etc etc.

>“create a law that says we must be paid”

this is a misconception. if you don’t want to pay for the BBC, you don’t have to. it’s just a crime to use it without paying. the same as its a crime to use the train without paying. and presumably if you found some way to hack netflix and use that without paying, that would be a crime too

I’d say there’s far less sensitivity around rent-seeking than there ever has been since WW2, as long as it’s for private interest. there’s murdoch sensitivity around setting up new public bodies that benefit society, if that’s what you mean
I don't know if we will get a healthy research community by attempting to police unhealthy communities out of existence. This will only lead to research activity being further stifled by useless bureaucracy that fails to restrain most bad research while slowing down what actually matters, quality research. Instead, I think we need to focus our attention on outstanding communities and how to distinguish them from less outstanding ones.

We don't need to be threatened by the mere existence of fake journals that publish articles with "counterfeit consciousness" in them. No one actually reads that stuff. It only exists to feed badly-managed communities with terrible incentives. And the solution to such bad communities is to create good ones and showcase their work. Not waste our time obsessing over the fear that somewhere, someone is not a great researcher.

Poor research is the norm and should be ignored. Good research is the exception that should be recognized and nurtured.

If you choose Blogger partly because it was free, and your blog got little to no traffic, that's not a sustainable business model for Google. They need ads or subscription fees to cover their hosting costs.

If there were were a sufficient number of popular Blogger blogs, that could carry the financial burden of the unpopular ones, but the platform seems to be stagnant and unpopular, so that model doesn't seem to be viable either.

I'm not sure what went wrong, Blogger had good market share years ago!

There's no mob here. Loeb really is a crank, and a while back started making noise (again) about alien origins for these rocks. And this time a bunch of regular/non-crank/conventional scientists listed to his noise and published a paper refuting it before he could get his own research out.

That's not censorship, that's just science. Yes, it's important that everyone is able to share their iconoclast ideas. And Loeb did. And it's likewise important for people to be able to tell you you're wrong when you are.
