I don't think it's so clear.

Are we not doing alternative work?

Memorizing or just learning information gives us better operation over data and still has use. Consider that we might just be better prioritizing memory usage. Besides, smartphone lookup incurs latency.

Did you really? Huh. I'd look that kind of stuff in the Guinness book of world records. Not sure that's the knowledge to defend memorization of...
True. Again, not the highest priority information to memorize.

Yes, and with that tool the risk of hopelessness by immersion is lower, effectively reducing the barrier to learning a new language.

I think what you wrote is that we know have increased access to the actual names of plants, insects, etc. Whether we then learn and memorize them or not is separate.

Some do but even those still need to consider the correctness of the code. Of course, I've worked with lots of engineers who didn't consider their stack overflow copypasta either.

It's not clear and certainly not universally the case that we are replacing our brain processing and focus with garbage. As before with books and other technologies we choose how we use them. Perhaps you have an unexamined reaction to all of these tools as subtracting from some static pool. It is just as possible to view them as taking low value work off your plate to enable you to do higher value work. I would recommend removing or ignoring the low return tools and adopting those that effectively increase your scope. As with all things responsibility and consideration are required for maximal outcomes.
Processing or ingesting? We're being bombarded with information and we're not capable of digesting it all.

Same with goes with communication. We're probably thousands of km away from each other and we can communicate but we can't bond, that why people are more lonely than ever.
For the records, "Aldi" ("Albrecht Discount") in the USA is "Aldi Süd" (originally owned by Karl Albrecht) while "Traders Joe" (bought 1979) is "Aldi Nord" (originally owned by Theo Albrecht).
FWIW this is before OpenAI fine-tuned their models for native function calling and exposed it in the API. Their current models (even 3.5 Turbo) should be much better at this.

Building architecture is subject to physics, building code laws, and big differences in cost (measured in the hundreds of thousands of dollars or more).

I do not see why the same dynamics would apply to a logo/font, which surely have very little cost difference between any two.

local advertising is an under served market.

All the media wants to be global; but there's lots of advertisers need to talk to people no more than 50 miles away from them.

If Facebook is any example, this is still beyond the actual capabilities of the big ad platforms. They show me political ads from 5 surrounding states, but not the one I live in; for example.
I have tried hard to write docs that explain the architecture and the usage of the tool primarily in the Python space. You will find it here, and if you prefer videos there are links in there too: https://davidvujic.github.io/python-polylith-docs/

likely because the bom for putting wifi on a board is $0.02 and the bom for powerline networking is probably around $8, also (not that it matters in this application, but) wifi is probably faster

if its reliability in a dense (apartment complex) wifi area you are after, zigbee mesh has more resilience and is cheaper than powerline

powerline networks only generally work on the same ring main.
Thank you, I wasn't aware. Should I redo it somehow?
I don’t think I dispute that the GDPR and related laws claim to apply to me if I have a website that EU residents access.

I dispute that they have jurisdiction to actually apply their laws to me, any more than the US can charge somebody with violating FCC regulations for a radio signal sent from Norway.

There are specific things like extradition treaties, trade agreements, and parallel legislation that cover existing areas where this happens. Is there one that covers application of the GDPR in the US?
Yeah, I can see the benefits.

Powerline ethernet is a decent alternative to ethernet cables or wireless, but there definitely are significant caveats:

* It generates tons of electrical noise, which can wreak havoc on electronics particularly radios.

* The actual connection speed varies greatly by the condition of the copper wiring and generally isn't that great.

* Depending on how the copper wiring is laid out, you might not get a connection between two points.

* Security can be an issue if you don't configure your powerline adapters properly.
Looks very nice, one small problem - when I change the values, the camera seems to "shake" because the shape of the plant changes, so it has to constantly readjust, and it's kind of annoying (at least for me). Maybe it could be possible to freeze the camera while the parameters are being changed?
That makes no sense whatsoever.

If the NSA has broken whatever cipher suite the GRU uses, or the Iranian RG, or whomever, please explain how keeping that fact a secret endangers the USA?

Keep in mind they share info with the other Five Eyes and select other allied nations.
I enjoyed the ending of your ending.

It is not only the fact that we are getting mentally lazy by having on demand access to all of human knowledge and opinion, but it is also that it takes the magic out of certain social interactions. For example, having a discussion with a friend over coffee, where both of you might be trying to remember the details of a specific topic. Previously, you might have spent 10-15 minutes digging into the topic, exercising each other's memory until you both arrived at the 'aha' moment where suddenly you remember the key detail/fact that you both were looking for. Anecdotally, when that happened, it was a deeply rewarding moment (dopamine hit, but you had to work for it!). With all of this knowledge at our fingertips, those moments are gone. I wonder if the lack of that mental 'sparring' and the ensuing reward that it brings is causing us to miss out on a key social/mental feedback loop that could not only allow you to exercise your mind, but also to get you used to moments of frustration and disagreement with another person (which is a useful skill to develop when you are contending with someone on a topic in which the answer is unknown).

Anyway, more relevant to the parent comment, we have faced this challenge before in the physical domain (i.e. our ability to move ourselves vs transportation technology). We have bikes, cars, trains, and planes (and now cybertrucks!), yet we still recognize the necessity for physical exercise (although Ozempic and other weight loss drugs may change this dynamic). Ultimately, with the introduction of technology that makes our lives easier (at least initially), the natural capabilities that we've developed over billions of years to serve those functions become vestigial if not used.
How much risk is there, with Powerline, that my neighbours will be able to see traffic on my home network?

I’ve had powerline adapters work quite happily sometimes (and unhappily other times) on separate circuits in my home so it clearly can tolerate some level of copper juncture (circuit breakers, consumer units, and the like) beyond a simple ring main.

A recent unit I bought had an optional pairing process between adapters. I don’t know how it works but it is billed as a way of ensuring privacy between endpoints. It wasn’t clear from the documentation if this was to protect me from other people in my house, or from neighbouring properties.

If anything, this can be read as, while an inconvenience, an open source success story.

All pieces of the puzzle were open enough that the author could track down the problem and correct it. That, not indefinite support for no-longer-manufactured hardware, is the benefit of open source. It's the thing that enables the other thing.

And thanks to the magic of the internet, blogs, and search engines, now that one person has solved the problem there's a cracking chance that the next person to have the problem will find the solution.
This is the new fork created by one of the devs https://github.com/FossifyX. Hopefully this starts getting contributions.

I could say similar for my mustang gt, it keeps ticking after 12 years and 250k miles, with nothing but maintenance. I do still enjoy driving it though. I am not a harsh driver though, tend to be a "speed-limit, stop for yellow" driver.
The US is not the nicest country in the world. It is, however, the global hegemon. China is a major world power, as the home of the oldest semi-continuous civilization in the world. Austria is a bunch of ski slopes and lakes.

My ancestry is Irish and British. We were apes painting ourselves blue when China was building a world. Austria is beautiful. But it hasn’t been a power for 100 years.

Being in control means making enemies of everyone else who wants to be in control. The US is not an innocent bystander, but you could have worse. Don’t forget that.

>The reasoned that the neoclassical architecture and old-style font made the space intimidating to people who didn’t hold those things to be part of their culture and that it was out of tune with the increasing diversity of their collection and programs.

The whole purpose of an actually inclusive "Museum of Fine Arts" should have been the opposite: to make people appreciate, understand, and enjoy things that they don't feel are "part of their culture", expand their cultural horizons and lift their tastes.

Not to excise things they don't identify with, and feed them "safe" stuff tailored to them. That's entertainment.

You're onto something but it flies in the face of a bit of convention as you're probably not the standard personality that gets into engineering.

I think it's a fine career to go to school, get your BS in whatever technical field you choose, and work as engineer #52354 at Ingersoll Rand, or Boeing, or whomever, and retire after 30 years of being master of your highly complex but perhaps limited domain. That is a very valid definition of an "engineer". These people probably have very fulfilling personal lives that you'd probably see as miserably boring, and that's okay.

I've thought hard lately about this sort of thing, and one thing that seems clear to me is that management likely sees the "standard engineer" is a cost sink where someone like yourself may escape that sort of criticism as your value transcends just engineering and into other departments that directly generate revenue.

For what it's worth, we sound like the same type of engineer but I've worked to try and turn what may be contempt for the stereotype into something more... collaborative.
Just repost it without the Show HN.

> Really the problem here is SQL's syntax. If using a basic relational database was a pleasant experience that involved some familiar C-like syntax instead of broken English people would be more tempted to go with a DB instead of rolling their own.

I wish Postgres had a stable, more low-level API than SQL. Perhaps something that resembles the query plan I get from EXPLAIN. An application written against this API could implement an SQL DB: (1) parse SQL (2) implement a query planner that spits out a query plan written against this API.

> the things you mention seem very superficial

They are. But they're still expensive(†). My point is that GP says the US can't have nice things because they're spending all their money on the defense of the rest of the developed world and Europe is just rolling in dough to spend on public infrastructure. The US absolutely has money that it can spend on these things if it wanted to, but it doesn't. $60k pickup trucks (the median cost) aren't a thing anywhere else in the world, and in every thread here on EVs it's full of excuses of why these vehicles are ESSENTIAL to the functioning of US society. If all of that money was spent on public infrastructure instead, they could have much nice things.

I totally agree that lots of people are suffering in the US. It's not being spread equally. I totally agree that US politics are completely dysfunctional. I agree that that is the problem. I'm just refuting GPs argument that "it's because we're sending money overseas". It's because you're misallocating money locally.

GP is saying Europe can have these things because the the US is defending them. I'm saying the US has more than enough money to do these things, if they allocated it the same as Europe does (even after removing military spending)

Oh dear. My eyes literally hurt while looking at it. Its like the text moves away from me, straight into the screen. It's not an animation right? I got astigmatism. Funny how the excuse is "More Accessible" ... but I guess the picture is the problem, not the font or the devil eyes on the logo.
I find this question interesting because it raises the question of which component of art is the one that makes it "art"?

Lets take a painting, for example. Is it OK if the painter did not stretch their own canvas? Or if they stretched it, but bought the wood pieces pre-cut? If they cut their own pieces, can they do it from store-bought wood? Or do they need to collect it in a forest? Can they buy canvas, or do they have to weave it? Can they weave it out of pre-spun fiber, or do they need to spin it themselves? Is it OK if they didn't card the cotton themselves? What if someone else picked the cotton? What if someone else planted the seeds? And we haven't even gotten into whether they made their own pigments or just bought them in a store. Do they need to make their own brushes??

That whole paragraph is absurd, right? But there really is a point there. Tools exist to ease the creation of art. AI is a tool. And an imperfect one, as the article points out in various ways.

So it really is worth asking... is there anything wrong with using new tools to create art?

If specific competitions want to set their own rules to answer that question, that is certainly reasonable and acceptable. But a global assumption that AI-created art isn't art... that is an assumption that should be at least questioned.
it is if you don't turn the temperature up high enough.
That's the way current shells work. They do actually use buffered input, but they use lseek on the input so each time they always read the next command from the file.

You can prove this fairly easily:

$ cat input.sh
echo hello
sleep 10
echo world

During the sleep, edit input.sh and change "world" to something else. It will print the something else.

It should be possible to implement goto etc as external commands, although of course somewhat inefficient and unnecessary.
My argument is with people that believe that they can take their sports cars to open roads, usually the "fun ones" and make it miserable for every other users of these roads.
You wouldn’t even be able to solve this in the standard leetcode DP problem way, because it’s ambiguous if all you know is which words are valid. For example THESEA could be either “THE SEA” or “THESE A”. You need to have a model of English grammar to realize that the former is much more likely to be part of a valid sentence than the latter.

Electromagnetic fields interact with ion channels (primarily calcium) in the nerves. Microwaves have also been studied for psychiatric disturbance, and links and probable physical causes shown.

5G is just one issue. We’re constantly bombarded with electromagnetic radiation from various sources at various frequencies.

It also becomes difficult to get a real control group, without numerous confounding lifestyle factors, because we’re all being exposed to it, so the real long-term effects will most likely not be known. The only thing gleamed is that an increase in 2.4Ghz EMFs leads to further psychological disturbance.

That science is a process of getting towards tentative truth via observations. That there is no single method of science, but there are several pathways by which scientific knowledge can be obtained. You can read Thomas Kuhn (structure of scientific revolutions), Imre Lakatos (Proofs and Refutations) for this perspective. Kuhn brought in the historical perspective which was missing earlier to study of philosophy of science. Also, you can look at books by Stephen Toulmin and June Goodfield which detail a historical perspetive of development of scientific ideas.

> For those saying we should have verified reproducible builds: yes, that'd be great! This effort does not conflict with reproducible builds.

Well, we can hope, anyway. "Provenance" necessarily involves injecting secret data into the build process so that it can't be reproduced by third parties.

It's mostly a question of how careful you are to keep the keys / signatures completely separate from all of the other build inputs and outputs. Some code signing systems make that pretty difficult.
