Ear rumbling is not the same as tinnitus. I can make my ear rumble, and I also have tinnitus (constant ringing or high pitched frequency sound). At least I assume, I have never bothered getting it diagnosed by a doctor because I can easily ignore it and have for many years, I only notice it when not focusing on anything else and I happen to pay attention to it.

I assumed tinnitus was mostly caused by damaging the little hairs that sense sound becoming damaged from loud sounds and not working anymore, which I would have done with headphone use in my teens/early 20s.
Ask HN: A Non commercialized project for 2024
Greetings HN members

As 2024 is approaching I want to give back to the community of Internet users (HNers included) & anyone who is selling: from products to services.
Should I make this project available to the public? -> https://imgur.com/a/vlb6fMb

---PAST---
Compared to today's link aggregation services and limited features hidden behind a paywall, I found the need to create a link aggregator that EXPLAINS my links as well as for selling my freelance services, to properly guide my potential customers. (NOTE: This was not the only reason, as I also wanted to build a fun web dev project of my own for myself.)

---PRESENT---
I'm building a hobby project for myself, it currently features:
V1.0
---
- I can list your shop or products or services on one page along with a description of each link.
- Since im into B&W and not a color guy, It's a dark minimalist layout.
- I have a unique username that leads to my page.
- A specific page looks like this, in this case, my username is imu4 . [https://imgur.com/a/vlb6fMb]
- planning a current limit of 50 links per user, or should I increase this?
V1.1
- Analytics for:
A. # of Clicks on each of my link(s)?
B. # of users visited my page?

---

I wanted to ask, if this is something you would also be interested in and should I make it available to the public. If I do so, I have no intention of making it a commercial product nor forcefully charge anyone to use it.

In the event of publicly making it available, It will be limited to 100 people max, although if 10 people also show interest I might just make it public, limited to 100 people for now to understand what's what and how things work.

If there are people interested, I will have to open a discord for this project to talk with them.
I haven't thought of a project name, I am open to naming suggestions as well.

Would you be interested in something like this or am I gonna waste time making it public?
climbing ropes are typically measured in meters and come in increments of 10(ie. 50, 60, 70, 80). that's likely the reason they used metric for the rope length... however I will agree with you that it's a weird choice given this is meant for a mainstream audience
Hanlon's razor suggests either human error (someone putting in the wrong DNS entry on their end) or someone abusing a cloudflare service.

All the other suggestions of malice are rather inefficient, especially considering the net value is lower than the cost to push those malicious actions.

As for the reporting: yeah, it seems rather dumb there is no easy to reach form for this, but you can message their abuse address and NOC which are listed in the WHOIS you probably queried anyway to find out Cloudflare owns those addresses:

A phone call might be quicker if you're really curious about what is happening.
They conditionally show labels and venue points depending on context. This might be search history, referrer, device, desktop/mobile, time of day, directions for car etc

For example we can imagine that if a user usually uses it on the phone, at night in the city, on foot, often searching for restaurants, it might default to showing more restaurant venues without the user initially searching for it if the user is in the city at night. There's a blog post they made about it several years ago from what I recall it was something like "if you look for fast food it will show other fast food venues"

Emphasizing that you have already done performance optimisation for ML algorithms would make me trust this a lot more, esp as you then open-sourced it.
I’ve an issue similar to yours, playing with my jaws especially yawning seems to increase the whistle while I’m doing it, then it come back to normal. I can hear it almost onyl at night and only in the right ear. Sometimes when I yawn a lot I can dismiss it totally (at least for that night)
What the hell is this?
I also did a hearing test and I’ve no problem.
My guess is that this will probably require a Constitutional Amendment to shore up the fourth amendment (call it 4A++).

I think they are explicitly exempt from certain laws. This doesn’t mean they are above the law.

And maybe they break the law and keep getting away with it. But this doesn’t mean that’s how they are meant to work.
In a post-fossil fuel age, Germany is fucked energywise anyway compared to sun-drenched lower latitude countries. Unless nuclear in Germany can compete with solar in these places (competing with solar in Germany is not enough), German energy-intensive industries will operate at a great disadvantage.
Put more plainly: “the afflictions of other Americans is not my problem - I’m in this for myself and that’s what freedom means to me.”
this is an artificial limitation enforced to optimize for a subset of system participants.

it isn’t fun because that doesn’t most benefit them, and they ain’t you.

sleep tight.
It’s sad to see people rediscovering that GCP is not a serious product over and over again.
the hell kind of gym are you at that Smith Rock grades feel comparable? that place is sandbagged as hell.
An intelligence agency’s role is gathering intelligence on malevolent entities that threaten a country in some way. Not more, not less—but their role certainly isn’t breaking laws per se, or amassing data on the general public to engage in pre-policing. No matter how much certain parties may advocate for that, a democracy cannot exist in a surveillance state, and anyone convinced of that has lost democratic legitimacy.
Had a router by them for a long time. It was fantastic but it took me months to set it up in a way that I'd be confident to put it to live service. It was a nice hobby project, and it paid off.

Now I had replaced it with a FritzBox as it's popular here in Germany, and my SO may be able to do something with it when I'm not there. As a new hobby project, I have a RB5009UG+S+IN lying around...waiting for me to get into the flow again...maybe around Christmas...
They are doing it themselves though, just with modern tools.
Should we believe Americans when they say the economy is bad?
How long do the batteries last? What happens after a week or cloudy winter weather?

Battery storage typically seems to smooth out production over about 24hrs, not multiple days and certainly not seasons.
It's got an AL32400. At least my exemplar, I have removed the heatsink once.
Also you normally don´t have to worry about the lifecycle of a Mikrotik product. Almost everything they released since they were founded is still usable and you can install a currently supported RouterOS version on it.
Firefox on iOS is just Safari in different clothes. Same engine.
> I disagree with forcefully re-educating and assimilating them - that's precisely what they did to us for centuries, and that's wrong.

The Germans were forcefully re-educated after WW2, do you also disagree with that?

> In any case, no killing, please.

The russian leadership and war criminals will have to be killed, and they fully deserve it.
Ask HN: LLM Extended OS
Concept of LLM Extended OS
I DON'T believe we will be able to jump to LLM first Operating Systems straight away.

Self-operating systems are just like ChatGPT. The need reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF). They need it to LEARN how to operate effectively.

How can LLMs collect this feedback?

You SHOW the user an interface of LLM operating. When LLM makes a mistake -> give negative feedback.

What is the best way to do it? Definitely not some server running on the cloud which you can't see except for logs.

For the LLM to learn MOST from humans, it needs to operate on systems where humans can provide PROPER feedback.
What are the examples of this? the systems we using RIGHT NOW.

I picked MacOS.

Lets deep dive into how I see it.

I called it LLM extended OS

First, it has A LOT in common with what
@karpathy
has shown
It has access to terminal, camera, audio, and browsing.

The main difference is that it has APPS people use right now. Like:
- VS Code
- Finder
- TODO lists

Just think about it.
If LLM has imperfect attention. Just like humans do, why not give it a FULL interface WE use including not only
- Calendar – allow LLM to schedule tasks
- Reminders – set tasks it NEEDS to do
- Music – no, just kidding
- Discord – allow it to EFFICIENTLY communicate with OTHER LLMS, and send them tasks while being ignored if they are not interested

Another major difference is Graphical user interface (GUI).

Yes, VISION is too powerful to NOT make use of it.
@josh_bickett
just made a great case with self self-operating computer. Which proves the point.

One thing I think EVERYONE has missed is something that has been lying here for decades.

Accessibility/VoiceOver

Some people have trouble SEEING stuff. Thanks to apple, those people can STILL use the computer just like YOU DO. Which is mind-blowing right?

And think about it, visually impaired people can navigate the computer and almost FULLY operate just like you can. I tried it, its pure magic.

The question is,
if those people use only, RAW PRONOUNCED TEXT to navigate, will LLM not be able to do it?

You know the answer

And there is more to write about it... I'll keep the progress update here
X: @Karmedge

Let me know what you think

I would appreciate any feedback on this concept and potentially wrong assumptions I made, feel free to correct me.

The winner in this race must be humanity, not capitalism.

> Typically lead pipes develop a layer of deposits that pacify the metal, stop corrosion and prevent lead from leeching out.

Was going to come here to say this. Saying that, old pipes do need to eventually be replaced. But I wouldn’t freak out if you have lead pipe running into your house, especially no new ones have been installed for many decades.
I have a similar copy of a snake game already, and a tetris clone, but seeing more code is always fun - thanks for sharing :)
I don’t know exactly where you’re going, (and to be fair the parent comment is rude) but it’s wise to be humble even if you are a professional. Some of the most experienced people in the field frequent these threads, HN is not a monolith of neo-luddites.

My 2 cents: native solutions like HTML and CSS are preferable: they are designed to degrade well, they work with screen readers, with increased font size, high contrast, and other less-known or unknown and even future use-cases and needs. No dev team has the time to test their custom JS solution on all possible browser targets, and in reality they frequently fail even basic accessibility needs for no good reason.

At least to me, honoring the principles of the web is our responsibility, especially in our current time when they are arguably under attack from well-funded players. I would hate to see the web degrade into a delivery mechanism for opaque executables that work only on corporate blessed mega-browsers.
Oh. Thanks for letting me know. If you want to search for remote then Job type dropdown will help you filter on that or just click on the flying satellites on the map. Again appreciate your feedback.
I argue that the complexity you are describing is inherent in any solution where multi-level sessions are present-- whether the auth mechanisms is OIDC, SAML, or something bespoke. Beyond social logins, there are use cases where multi-level sessions are required. One example is delegating authentication to another IdP. It's possible to use a OIDC client and configure the IdP to not create a session if multi-level sessions are not required.
One example of one is Auto Copy, where chrome has version with indispensable features.

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/auto-copy/bijpdibkl...

My use case, primarily for research/keeping up to date in my domain is auto copying 100s of articles curated through feedly/other sources that gets automatically appended to daily text document by clipboard watch from balabolka (text to speech program), with meta data comment of url/title and visible confirmation dialogue confirming successful text copy (no firefox addon does this after search), which balabolka also automatically read to me at 3x speed. Basically, everything I'm interesting in reading gets converted into a reasonably labelled/chaptered podcast and digest with searchable transcript. Chrome with combined with tab groups and extensions that sort/order/dedupes tabs by domain also streamlines the process. Combination of tab groups sorting behavior and ability auto label auto copied text cuts daily chore from to a fraction of the time it use to, which saves hours each week.

Google lens also very useful for OCRing text, or translating images of foreign language. I can also do that with powertoys, but it's more finicky and add extra steps, require hot keys to do efficiently vs on Chrome I can do most of it with just a mouse.
gyms are typically softer to give their clientele a feeling of progress. this makes people feel better and want to come back. if you're stuck at v3 for several months you'd be more likely to give up telling yourself you're not cut out for climbing... at least that's my(and many others') theory behind soft gyms
What's described in the title of the article is old news. What might be novel, however, is the application of detecting typing on laptop keyboards. This type of detection was previously only reliable for mechanical keyboards.
Is that comment supposed to be useful?

You need to make updates to your front door. You need to make updates, repairs, clean it. So yes, front doors require updates.
Hyper-Empathy Disorder Test
DDG for the time being but honestly I am tempted by Kagi as well. Ad tech is cancer on the internet. I decided to quit Google after the trusted devices bullshit, but if I could remove junk listicles from my results that would be a big improvement.
Do we really need a CLI to replace Cmd-S and a copy/paste command?
That's not true at all. Intelligence agencies can't just do whatever they want. They are beholden to the people just like every other government agency. They can be granted power to do things that ordinary people can't, but that doesn't mean they are above the law.
It’s the classic horseshoe theory in action. Once you go far enough left, you’re basically indistinguishable from the far right (and vice versa)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory
My local county government services my water. Pretty much everywhere in my state it’s the same. There’s not a corporation involved at all, unless they contracted work out to a construction company.
I've tried occasionally hosting XMPP servers for a long time and sadly I didn't have as nice of an experience client-wise as you did. Especially on Windows, where most people live, the biggest clients don't properly support video or even voice calling and OMEMO support used to be really hit or miss in a way where depending on the person I was texting I had to switch to OTR. (This is, admittedly, way better now)

Maybe the modern web-based clients like Movim are better, never got around to testing them. I'll admit that Android always was the golden platform for XMPP thanks to Conversations - as long as you stick to that on both ends it's the perfect experience.
Same here. Mine is basically directly correlated with bite pressure. When I'm chewing sometimes I can literally hear the ringing going "wah, wah, wah" in time with my chewing. And if I grit my teeth I can make it get much louder than its baseline. Same if I open my jaw quite wide (sometimes this helps?). I've ground my teeth my whole life. And I can definitely point at one or two concerts that probably did some significant damage.

I always just assumed this was a normal thing that everyone had and never bothered to look it up. Sounds exactly like the roar of a high wind to me.
Interesting recap.

Oceanbase looks neat, but its license is quite original (mulan public license), thus I’m reluctant to read the code.

Why recommend a style on summary:focus but not input:focus?

Shouldn't we style :focus-visible for both or neither?
It won't. There are already laws in place, like the California Consumer Privacy Act, which governs how user data is handled.
Chrome really has become the new IE. That's sad.
i mean just because they arent supported doesnt mean they dont work just fine. the vmware bug is 2 years old.

honestly slowing down updates for adblockers sounds like a dangerous idea. sooner or later, someone will send you to court for an appstore monopoly, and sooner or later youll lose that case. in the meantime people lose interest in your ecosystem because of the increasingly predatory chicanery that makes their browsing experience suck. sending more eyes to firefox makes firefox better. eventually, better than even you.

This all smacks of "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas." Manifest V3 is dead on arrival if youre going to bury the average google user in an avalanche of unskippable ads and full screen GPU testers. nobody wants this modern hell, and you've everything in your power to reform or amend it to dial back the surveillance capitalism and hyper consumption.

Don’t land trusts just lock people out of their home equity? Since we’ve rigged the housing market to be up-only and the main source of household wealth, it’s probably best for New Yorkers to build lots and lots of normal homes that people can buy and not mess around with failed models from the Jim Crow era that locked black people out of wealth.
What a lovely story, and beautiful callback to the era when blogs were just storytelling vehicles for us to connect through.
How long has the Times been putting these “live” portraits in feature stories?

I like the idea, it’s certainly engaging. But the portrait video of Neil Burke, for example, has an uncanny valley vibe despite obviously being a real person.

Setting up networks can take long long hours. But documentation has improved lately and you can also watch their own YouTube channel, which has some useful videos. Also you should try using their forum, which is full of helpful guys.
