After watching the Edison Motors company build a hybrid electric logging truck prototype on YouTube it made me quite disappointed there don't seem to be other classes of vehicle being made in a similar user repairable manner. Of course, passenger vehicles do have some additional regulated safety requirements compared to a heavy vocational truck but perhaps someone will try to figure it out.
In many Russian policies, the concept of a border is definitely lacking.
OT and speaking of decentralization.

Does anyone understand why exactly we don't have a _decentralized search_ for torrents?

That's simply not true. Newest .NET 8 does not need the assemblies you reference to target .NET 8 - as long as the TFM is any version of 'netstandardx.x', 'netcoreappx.x' or 'net5'+ it will work.

You can even make proxy-projects that target netstandard2.0 but reference .NET Framework and with certain compat shims the code will just run on .NET 8 unless it relies on some breaking changes (which have mostly to do with platform-specific behavior, there have been no breaking changes for the language itself since I think C# 1 or 2? some odd 20 years ago).

As for the runtime itself - the application can restrict itself from being run by a newer version of runtime but you can absolutely do so. The lightweight executable that just loads runtime and executes the startup assembly may complain but just try it - build a console app with 'net5.0' target and then run it with latest SDK with 'dotnet run mynet5app.dll' - it will work.

X is maintained, but only the bare minimum possible. I wasn't aware of TearFree, but looks like someone stepped in to do that work - will that person continue add features to X, switch to Wayland, or go away: I don't know. That work plus security/bug releases is not very much.

How much are you donating to Xorg? $200,000 entitles you to one year labor (that is probably a low estimate). If it is $100 (a much more likely donation) you gets you an hours worth of effort. Xorg needs a lot of money just to keep the lights on, so probably you don't even get that hour just because it all goes to web hosting and other overhead (thanks for giving it - they do need that)

Care to enlighten those of us who don’t already know the explanation?
Yes. Currently I work at a research university that has a big professional photography organization in it that I'd imagine gets waivers from people when it is relevant. I've been rubbing shoulders with those folks a lot lately because I've taken up sports photography as a hobby and I am starting to recognize the people who turn up every time.
Not really. They are just really happy about what they do.
If I remember correctly (probably from stories on HN a few years ago), GoDaddy had the ability to "taste" the domains—ie, pay for them, hold them for a few days, then get a full refund if you didn't end up buying through them. I don't recall whether this was something special for large registrars like GoDaddy.
By 'fairly decent' do you mean a civilian 4090 or one of the weapons-grade DC cards?
> It's either a cheap, dishonest rhetorical trick ...

It's mostly that. It appears in sales interactions as a kind of lazy objection handling as well, pretend you don't understand someone's concern and hope you embarrass them into dropping it. In an online discussion you can just ignore it though, there's no point in engaging with someone who's not discussing in good faith.
War may not always be necessary in the future but it was in the past and continues to be.
This is so frustrating. I went from Netflix+Disney Plus+Prime Video to just Netflix, because every single time I wanted to watch something specific, it’s not available on any platform. I kept Netflix because they fill the « I don’t know what to watch, give me something » correctly, and I have a few shows in progress. For the rest, I’m back to TPB, torrent is once again more convenient than the alternatives.
Exactly my point. You can call BS on anyone when you are IRL talking to them. People can't hide the vibe of being an idiot.
Mostly I find it's used as a stand-in for "What do you want, precisely?", a question that is both clear and honest. How many times have we been on the receiving end of a long-winded exposition, full of qualifications, and maybes, and ifs, and still end up confused about what the interlocutor wants. At that point, where we might use "What's your point?", it might be better just to simply ask them "What do you want to happen?" and go from there. If nothing is to happen, then there really isn't a point. If something is to happen, well we can talk about it.
many smaller banks (or banks without large atm networks) offer fee reimbursements 3-5 times/month for using nonbranded atms. for most people who rarely use atms to begin with this is usually enough.
I will go through the course before Xmas. The thing is that in bare metal development even C standard library is not always being used. Recently I wrote some string processing functions for very specific parsing task. Nobody would need such crap while working with operating system.
Show HN: Multiple – Load test any API with JavaScript and NPM packages
Hey HN,

I wanted a better load testing solution – so I built one with my team at Multiple. We just opened early access and would love to get your feedback.

We created Multiple to solve three challenges with existing tools:

1. Limited scripting capabilities. XML or GUI-based scripting can only test basic scenarios. Existing code-based tools struggle with auth, generating synthetic data, and testing anything other than HTTP requests. We went with JavaScript for ease of use, versatility, and integration with existing developer workflows.

2. Cannot use existing libraries or code. Instead of forcing you to learn a new system and rewrite code, Multiple leverages the JavaScript and NPM ecosystem so you can use packages you're already familiar with. By supporting NPM packages, Multiple can test nearly any API, service, or protocol.

3. Tedious infrastructure management. There's no reason to spend time spinning up and configuring machines, and then destroying them after a test. Multiple abstracts that away. You just enter the test size and duration, and press start.

My favorite feature we've built so far is the Debug Run. You can use Debug Run as you write your tests to execute a single run-through. It's helpful to verify correct behavior and capture logs, and it allows you to iterate quickly, without spinning up a full load test each time.

We have so much in store for developers: pass/fail conditions, CLI, and repo integration, to name a few. Thanks for reading, and let us know what you think.
if not having children is the default, then population will decrease and eventually die out, or the burden of keeping the population stable rests on those few who need to have lots of children.

if the replacement rate today is 2,3 children per couple, then when half of couples don't have children the others need to have more than 4 children. in an environment that is not supportive of having children this is going to create a two class society.

better to spread the load.

also, having children late also means that more children per family are needed. so you can choose between having 2 children when you are young or having 3 or more when you are older. (i don't know the actual numbers but i think you can get the idea)

so i disagree that teaching young people that not having children is ok. we need to teach them the opposite, and most importantly, we need to teach those that do not want children of their own, that they need to actively support those who do have children instead.

we need to create a child friendly society. and we can't do that without everyone contributing to that.
do you imply that once google deletes an account, somebody else can sign up for that gmail account, and thus may gain access to 3rd party websites? I don't think google allows username recycling. once deleted, it remains unavailable.
If you're interested in this kind of general book in this this genre; I'd also recommend The Perfectionists by Simon Winchester. It's flawed in the back third but the balance of the book is an entertaining read. https://www.biblio.com/9780062652553
I'm not the one you replied to, but for me:

I read social media when I'm too tired to really engage with anything in a serious way.

I (try to) read TAOCP sometimes when I have a surplus of energy and ambition.

Admittedly, sometimes ambition comes along a little bit after I force myself to do something challenging, but TAOCP is so difficult for me that I really have to be feeling it to make any headway.
I find it more concerning that people are developing these pseudo-relationships with chatbots in the first place. This doesn't seem emotionally healthy.
"must stop facilitating access to the (defunct) pirate music site DDL-Music. Failing to do so makes the company liable."

IANAL - If a distribution center distributes books, was told these books are illegal to distribute, and keeps distributing them, it's liable. With storing books and satisfing book requests it's not a carrier, DHL is a carrier.

If Amazon sells drugs for me by FBA, is told these are drugs and keeps selling my drugs while I'm in prison, it's liable (I could send out my books of my own publishing company on my own, but I use Amazon FBA for distribution and scaling, just like people use Cloudflare)

The opposite would not make any sense, as I could just make my friend distribute my illegal stuff "for me", and they are just "a carrier".

If you store it, you're not a carrier.
A googler told me that's approximately why — long-disused accounts were overrepresented among abused accounts. In particular he mentioned that accounts that hadn't been used in a long time were much more likely than the average to have a poor password.

To crack down on abuse, they try to force the affected users to become aware of their accounts.

I am mostly on the side taking pictures.

The companies I worked for all had a standard “model release form” which people signed before a photo shooting. These were updated with GDPR requirements some time ago. For events it’s a blanket note in the invitation and a mention in the beginning (opt-out possible).

Management of these is a bit hand-made in my experience. Essentially gathering the forms as pdf in a shared folder close to the original pictures / project documentation.

But that works ok because in the last 18 years or so, I can remember one person wanting to withdraw their approval. We pulled many more pictures from the library ourselves because people were no longer with the company.
I'm an Nvidia fanboy, but the lack of competition they have right now is concerning. Without competition, the prices of computing will stop going down, which means only big players would be able to play. It means that most of the economy will be cut off from most of the benefits of AI[^1].

[^1] That could be a good thing if our AIs are destined to replace us...it means it will take longer, because the AIs will have to pay very high taxes to NVIDIA[^2].

[^2] Or to the AIs in control of NVIDIA.
But Nintendo is in the enviable position of consistently releasing some of the best and most popular games in the world as first party exclusives every generation like clockwork.

It’s not to say that things might not have been better if they’d gone with a CD-ROM format for the 64. But the brand differentiation with Sony that emerged in that generation has been the cornerstone of their (extremely successful) strategy going forward.
I think it’s awesome if a handful like that get built, SF nimbys need a wake up call and having a few of those would do the trick. In comparison they’ll be happy for 4-6 story midrise buildings.
I gave an answer for the largest number known to be representable in 64 bits with a scheme that is clearly not cheating.
I understand this may be an unpopular take here on HN (it certainly isn't in the real world), but but I can't see these people as anything other than pathetic. Go out, get a hobby, and meet real people. Jesus christ.
Back in the day on would get into the top 1% by getting a good degree and working hard. And getting a good degree and job was a function of who and where you were born.

Now that is even more amplified.

Ask HN: For those who use Nix in production, what is your experience like?
It isn't that fast. Even if the money stops tomorrow (which it won't - there are a lot of laws in place that need to be found and undone), universities will take a long time to adjust. They have contracts they need to pay. They are in debt to pay for those buildings and that needs to be paid. Which is why I said 30 years - that is a much more realistic timeline.
Yeah, this is how I read TAOCP. I was a grad student working on computational chemistry, so I had lots of downtime waiting for code to compile or long calculations to run (and I didn't have the fancy cloud to run tons of stuff in parallel). I got TAOCP out of the library and just read through it from beginning to end. I didn't work any problems and I skipped the "hard" stuff like proofs (side note: that's how I read all math, I read what they're proving, but don't follow along with the proof, I just tuck it away in my head what was proved and then if I come across a problem where I need it then I go back and try to understand it).

One day I was working on a problem and I realized that I was storing a lot of 0's in my matrix and I remembered that I read about sparse matrices in TAOCP (this was before you could just go to numpy and make a sparse matrix). So I went back to that chapter and used that to solve my problem.

That's happened to me many times in my career now, I remember that I read the general idea in TAOCP and then when I realize I need it, I go back and learn it for real.

If you want to be someone who understands computation (using computers to solve real problem), then it's probably good to have "read" TAOCP just to see what kinds of problems other people have encountered and know that there is at least one good solution to them. Then if you ever need to solve that problem, you know where to look for a start.

A little more philosophical: a culture needs a common core set of ideas that everyone can reference. When working together as a group, having a set of common ideas is a great shortcut in communicating. I'm not religious, but I see the bible as a historical way that this worked for the western cultures - there was a set of "givens" that everyone could hang their ideas off of. Every field of knowledge needs this common understanding. I view TAOCP as this for the field of computing. There are better ways to solve many of the problems now, or common libraries that provide the solutions, but having the problems named and discussed gives everyone a good starting place to talk.

tl;dr - yes, TAOCP is good, read it to learn the concepts and ideas that people smarter than you solved years ago.
I wouldn't call any of these low-hanging fruits. Implementing these from backend side is not trivial. The last one basically needs ML model, unless you want to hardcode things (remember, there are other languages than English too). I find Fastmail search acceptible.
Margaret Mitchell: 'People most likely harmed by AI have no seat at the table'
I like the advice. The body is a personal private thing. Many don't need a "medical pro" but more of a spiritual pro to sort them out because when you realize you are the ghost in the shell then you understand that this worry about the body is pointless because which shell will you have next when this one terminates its process?
It's not a technology that we can "put back in the box", so I suppose we need to find out and deal with the consequences.
Swann also viewed rings around Jupiter as well as a thin atmosphere on Mercury. Both findings were later confirmed by NASA.
>The piece of paper written on or the silicon doesn't acquire different properties because what the operation will be used for

I does though. Electric current in general doesn't compute, but electric current in a computer does compute. Thus electric current has a property of computation depending on what it's used for.
> is not technological it’s because the customs and border requirements

Probably why I mentioned political integration in the sentence then.

If you want to transit to higher level jobs you may get better mileage out of broadening to other languages (e.g., python) or skills (e.g., project management) than from a C to C++ transition. My 2c.
> It used to be that such a thing would get backlash from reviewers, and they would require you to actually justify the design.

We still lack a theoretical framework to understand and predict such things. ML research is empirical, observational research. It's like publishing a physics paper, "we saw a current in a wire when we moved it past a magnet" before we really understood electromagnetism. Theoretical understanding will hopefully come later.
The german nazi came to us when their crap fell and created the CIA and the massive campaign of washing everyone's mind with the TV dinner. ;)
Interesting. I’m thinking of giving it another shot. In theory it sounds like the perfect browser for me. The only extension I use is uBlock and BitWarden so I don’t really care much for widespread support of extensions and it sounds like that’s the last really buggy part.
So old youtube channels will also be affected by this?
Was it the first Resident Evil that had the little staircase and door opening animations between rooms? I remember not realizing they were masking disk reads. One of the best subtle UX of all time IMO.

Nowadays it takes regular websites like a full minute to load all the javascript so I've always made it partially into the article when ads start moving content around or I get inexplicably jumped back to the top. A pretty stark contrast.
It’s not a technicality, in fact the spirit of the law is what matters. When you stream a movie on Netflix or hell even on actual over the air digital TV, by any definition bytes are being copied there too. However, you aren’t intending to copy it, just to consume the media and the “copy” is a technical implementation detail. When you rip the library‘a disk or BitTorrent the movie, you are making a copy on purpose, a copy you could keep (and I bet you or anyone would keep it if you enjoyed it so much you wanted to rewatch it many times). When you choose to erase it afterward, it doesn’t erase your infringing act you did in the first place.

Note: None of this is a commentary on what’s “right” just discussing the legal ramifications. I don’t personally care what anybody does or have energy to convince anyone of anything.
When I was in Buenos Aires a year ago this was still very much a thing, and a daily thing. There were multiple people going around with carts, some carried by horses, others by humans, and some had a truck.

Dario’s descriptions of the working conditions are pretty brutal in this series. Relentless 12-16 hour days, arguments in emails, demotivating management. I grew up with a fairytale idea of what working at Valve must have been like - a brilliant environment of smart people doing their best work. Although I’m still sure that’s true, I don’t think I’d be willing to make the sacrifices these developers did for the sake of a video game. Astonishing
> about the same price … at AliExpress.

It seems like this is something that Monoprice really excels at. Their markups on stuff like this is just remarkably low.
Like everything else ever studied. We use theory to make predictions and try to find measurements inconsistent with the theory to find out what we need to change about it. Ontology is entirely immaterial to this effort.
The article says that one Asian longhorned tick “can lay up to 2,000 eggs without needing to mate” (emphasis mine). This doesn’t imply that this tick breed generally has an effective reproduction rate of 2000, let alone that this rate was annual.
That's awesome! I totally would have used that as a young punk if I knew about it.
Nothing is real because it is all temporary but it is all certainly true.

It's not webbrowser based but live torrent streams like acestream work really very well. Unfortunatly acestream is pretty shady and closed-source and associated with malware distribution and illegal sport streaming - but it looks like a modified python bittornado implementation. Porting this to webtorrent would be interesting as it would at least allow to share the bandwidth for live-streams. I assume from a technical point of view this is not impossible.

I'm not aware of any open source implementations for the browser.
This is one of those topics where proponents will not show up in comment because of the stigma.

these are all easiest pursued from a starting point of good mental health. so those that may need it the most, may be least likely to be… able.

this is going to be a more unpopular opinion than yours (happy to help) but these flippant responses to “just be healthy” are anything but.
That happened a lot quicker than I expected it’d happen. I feel like living a Black Mirror episode.
Well, there's two possible lessons to take from this:

1. Don't develop "romantic" "relationships" with a goddamn chatbot in the first place, because seriously, that cannot be remotely psychologically healthy. Seriously, that was depressing!

2. If you really, really insist on ignoring #1, at least host it on your own hardware.
I’ve said this multiple times: a co2 removal system that turns co2 into a useful building material would be society changing.
