Interesting. Perhaps it(drying out/clogging) depends on environmental factors? How hot, how humid is it etc. I never had luck with it myself.

My first ink printer was a lexmark 1000. This was the only printer I could afford at the time (cheap ink jet printers just became available in my country). It printed OK-ish. It was a 3 toner or black toner cartridge printer. You'd swap in the correct cartridge for the type of the print. I was printing mostly in B/W. When I tried to print in color (maybe 2 months after) for the first time it was fine, a couple of months later it required a couple of cleaning cycles, a couple of months further it just dried out completely and I remember trying to soak it etc.

I ended up buying only B/W cartridges after. Later I moved and I didn't need a home printer as I always had access to big office machines, but I worked doing "it support" amongst other things so I'd go to someone's home to help them with their wifi, or printer/scanner at least once a week. I saw my share of clogged ink jet cartridges of all makes.

However this was almost 2 decades ago. Perhaps the technology of these inks really has changed as well as printing patterns to hide non functioning nozzles etc.

I don't think I'll try ink again unless a photo-focused small printer comes out that is advertised as being "non drying" for months and reviews say its true.

I considered buying a color laser for the kind of printing you do (documents, charts). It would be nice, but I until my current laser breaks (which may be next decade, or tomorrow) I find it hard to justify buying it.
Please stop using non-zero-based y axes. Every comparison chart in this post uses it, overemphasizing the difference between models.

Latest updates from Beeper as of two hours ago:

### Beeper Mini - fix coming soon

Our fix for Beeper Mini is still in the works. It’s very close, and just a matter of a bit more time and effort.

In the meantime, we have deregistered your phone numbers from iMessage so your friends can still text you. Sorry, you’re temporarily a green bubble again. Annoyingly, the iPhone Messages app ‘remembers’ that you were a blue bubble for 6-24 hours before falling back to SMS, so it’s possible that some messages will not be delivered during this period.

Also, we are extending your 7 day trial by one additional week.

I just want to say thank you for bearing with us through this wild day (week!). I feel awful about important messages you may have missed today because our iMessage connection stopped working. My sincere apologies for this.

Tomorrow is a new day. Onwards!

### Beeper Cloud - iMessage works again!

I am very proud to say that iMessage is now working again on Beeper Cloud. After a Herculean effort from my amazing colleagues, our iMessage bridge is back in action. Unfortunately, messages received during the outage are not recoverable.

If you have a Mac or iPhone, you may see an alert that a new device has been added to your account. This due to the bridge update. The update is rolling out over the next hour.

And...it's not working for everyone yet. We're going to call it a night and get back to it tomorrow.
Fair enough. But when I'm getting a bus and train to visit my parents I will always use the whatever box because it's instantly there with the right info whereas the shitty official website is slow, horrible, demands precise start and end locations or just offers me a PDF of the timetable.

Problem is public mindshare and adoption.
There should be no real analogy to Dresden in any case; WWI night time bombing raids were carried from altitude above flak defenses over blacked out cities prior to GPS using dead reckoning and uncertain waypoint identification.

Dresden was defended as the justified bombing of a strategic target, a major rail transport and communication centre, housing 110 factories and 50,000 workers in support of the German war effort.

Had the technology of the time included GPS positioning and laser guided missiles there would not have been widespread bombing across the broader city area "just to be sure".

The issue here today is an incredibly high civilian to justified target ratio despite having centimeter precison targeting and high resolution overview of the region of interest.

Deeper issues go back into the history of strategies of minority groups with decision making powers on both sides that resulted in dragging a majority of civilians into this current situation.

I am in the process of setting it up on a cheap Hetzner box. If it works, would be a great deal! You can get a 64 GB RAM box for 35 EUR/mo at server auctions with unlimited traffic. I don't mention CPU or GPU, as typically this isn't a bottleneck for my projects.

Plus, I can configure cache sharing via host-mounted dir. E.g. pnpm cache can be all in one place, and be locally available to pods via a mounted dir. Same for the Docker image cache. This would speed up CI runs and also reduce network traffic by a huge margin.

GitHub Actions effectively has no local caching. There's an action for caching, but it uses a blob storage for cache artifacts. Which then gets network fetched, gzip'ed and gunzip'ed each time, and from my experience this has never been a gain for medium to large npm projects, as they have thousands of small .js files in node_modules, and thus takes a long time to compress and decompress. I think npm edge cache servers are already so optimized and fast, that in my experience almost always it's faster to install from npm directly. I even tested this on AWS, where the cache was stored in S3, in the same region as CodeBuild (CI), and direct installs from npm were still faster by about 30%.

So other than adding more hardware resources, local caching is the only way to significantly speed up GH Actions, from my experience, and thus you must have your runner.

I generally agree with this, but I think there are some issues with the reasoning:

> What about AI personal assistants? Robot butlers? All those things! Even assuming all that comes true sometime over the next decades: what is the market for personal assistants? What’s the market for butlers? Most people have neither of those things.

Sometimes making things dirt cheap means that people who couldn't afford them (or just didn't think the price was worth it) can now afford them. I don't have a personal assistant, and wouldn't think the cost of (a human) one would be justified, but if I could have a good AI personal assistant for a couple bucks a month, I might pay for that.

Overall, though, the goal isn't GPT-4. The goal is AGI. If anyone can actually crack that, assuming it doesn't murder us all, perhaps it could cheaply replace jobs in roles and markets where it could be quite lucrative.

Even if they can't crack AGI, maybe some future GPT-10 could be a suitable replacement for a lawyer in some contexts, for example. OP talks about how the legal profession has a bunch of structures and legalities that might make it hard to offer a robo-lawyer, but these things can change. Consider that Uber essentially broke all the laws around taxi (er, ahem, "rideshare") licensing, and they're all over the world now.

Regardless, I'm still skeptical of AI's future. Not just in the realm of whether or not AGI is possible with current or near-future technology, but also in the realm of financing (will VCs get tired of waiting after a while and stop investing in it) or politics (will AI get legislated to the point of uselessness).

Why don't we found new cities anymore? It's not like the pinnacle of urban design was reached centuries ago.

Even if it's not doable to control everything, at least you could lay out excellent infrastructure from the beginning with modern tools and methods.
Oh and far from paying for the infrastructure, trucks are subsidised to use it, by everybody else, very much including bikers

Trucks are the biggest source of road damage by a very long shot (3 orders of magnitude per mile driven) and don't pay anywhere near that. Trucks would have to pay at least 2 orders of magnitude higher gas taxes than cars to come anywhere near a fair share, and that's assuming an order of magnitude difference in mileage (in a linear unit, not mpg), which is not the case unless you have an extremely efficient car and a very inefficient truck.
Isn't there a community maintained version? I don't see how a truly open source project could disappear overnight. It's a text editor. It's not trying to keep up with ever-changing standards so it's not going to just break.

Cat 7 doesn't exist as a standard, it is marketing. The highest current standard is Cat6a and is overkill.

Even Cat6a doing 10G within the standards distance is flaky, there are far too many factors that will degrade it.
One of the services they provide is giving you reports on new genetic studies and how it relates to your DNA. Another is online genome browser. Both require access to your genome.

For some uninteresting regurgitation, sure. But size - width and depth - seems like an important piece for ability to extract deep understanding of the universe.

> I'm not going to do your research for you

I'm not trying to convince you. Anyone who reads this can click on any random article here about ads and see that I'm right, only a tiny fraction of the posts consider ad blocking "stealing". Now I don't know for sure that that means that it's a tiny minority of actual users, but I think that's a safer assumption than yours, based on what little data we have.

The only frustrating part of this project is GitHub actions itself. It could be so much better (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37612420). Part of the hassle is figuring out why on earth actions/checkout stopped working in your self-hosted infrastructure... Why you suddenly have what once were ephemeral SQL containers persisting and blocking specific ports in subsequent runs... And why that sweet python provisioning action isn't doing its job anymore...

It all comes down to the instances. GitHub runners are insanely complex and also the best part of actions, along with community driven reusable workflows. They not only pack so much stuff without conflict, they also spin up really fast (forgot which virtualization infrastructure they use). So when you move to self-hosted you now have instances that take longer to be ready, increasing cold start times from pipelines, that will require that you install everything you need in it to run your jobs, and that, depending on how you set them, will require more thorough cleanup after each job.

The scalability is really good though, and all the benefits already cited, like having access to private resources on your VPC, and delegating permissions to instance profile through IAM roles, make this project a godsend.
That seems like a sure fire way to hamstring your country. Does that also include firmware for devices? Will this government have a large dev team to make software that its populace can use? Would you install trackers and block the internet in general so citizens can’t get software that’s open source. Would you demand visitors to surrender their devices while visiting so the authorities can check for non-free software installed?
You can snatch a 30x full genome sequence from Nebula at $100-150 on sales they do a few times a year. Open-source is cool but prob not economically feasible unless you’ll be using it for all your extended family or something.
“The vast majority of users were, and are, completely unaffected by the licence changes.”

Only true if you believe that the new license is safe to use, and that HC can be trusted to stop with this change. The license they adopted isn’t well understood and if I were a corporate lawyer I’d be hesitant to approve it.

Defining “competitive” use is basically up to HC, so that makes the license real iffy.

They’ve poisoned the well for contributions going forward, so HC as an upstream is much less attractive now.
As much as I want a hardware key, I still struggle with the practicality of having a backup key. I create new accounts on websites quite often, and the idea of having to go fetch my backup key out of a safe to register it (and hope the site allows multiple keys) just feels impractical (“I’ll do it tomorrow”). Not to mention—what if I’m at work, or out and about setting it up on my phone? Am I really going to remember to add my backup key when I get home every time?

Wish there were a way around this :/
> There’s almost zero reason the preorder games nowadays.

I would agree with you on this for AAA titles, but not for early access/indie titles. Though these games tend to cost much less so it’s worth a gamble and it’s nice to support indie devs. I’ve gotten so much ROI from buying Minecraft when the alpha was released for €9.95.

And then there is Kickstarter/other platforms. Most of the games I backed were released and some were amazing (Rimworld) but there has been some stinkers (Star Citizen, Shroud of the Avatar).
I’ve grew up in one. While it’s not as nice as a single family home in Silicon Valley climate it did create tons of affordable housing.

In Finland and I guess most of Europe, every second city/town was founded because an industrialist put their factories in an area and the factories needed humans to live nearby.
> Why don't we found new cities anymore? It's not like the pinnacle of urban design was reached centuries ago.

We do, but mostly peripheral cities around existing core cities, because there are geographical/resource things that make city building make sense, and -- other than with discovery of new resources (or technological/economic change making known but not economically exploitable resources exploitable), or some massive project that we have some reason to keep distant from existing settlement -- the places that make sense to build large population agglomerations already have them.

Advances in urban design (or changes in urban design fashion) don't create new city locations, so they mostly lead to redevelopment, not new cities.
I'm probably wrong and I honestly hope I'm wrong but AFAICT this is a dead end. even a small scene takes 30-50meg and is only viewable withim a short distance of the center of the data.
