It's interesting you say that, since that's one of the major benefits of open hardware - you're not beholden to the survival of a corporation to continue having support for your tech. Anyone can come along and get a PCB produced by one of the many "print on demand" services. Someone with similar skills to the team at MNT can pick up the entire ecosystem and build entirely new hardware for it without a shred of friction or red tape (or threat of lawyers lol) ... pretty badass if you ask me. Worst case scenario you hire/crowdsource someone to build an updated CPU module.

Various kinds of noise have been problems too even on modern computers, like ground hum or interference. Often I can hear the interference on a desktop change with the screen's brightness. I think on laptops I've had the issue depending on if the charger is plugged in or not. Problem's eliminated with an external DAC/amp. Motherboard DAC's must be cheap/lazy because there's no technical reason this couldn't be done with an internal one.
Normal people can't even deal with windows when it breaks - I just picked a gaming laptop up for $1000 off list because it "wouldn't boot" but just needed a reimage.

I really want to love Linux but man it's endlessly frustrating to have any guide be out of date or wrong since it's for another distro or just not have a GUI for doing things that are generally everyday. it's getting better but still way over a lot of users heads.

Maybe in the form of a chrome book Linux could shine for an average joe. We are already dealing with people who don't understand files or the desktop metaphor since they are only used to phones or tablets.
Is there any point in buying a calculator anymore since you can write code even on your phone these days?
Only if you're getting news from HN. Negative stories and false hitpieces are heavily upvoted, bad news about competitors is buried as is positive news. If you dare write any non-negative comments you get downvoted and angry replies so people slowly stop posting anything that doesn't go with the negativity.
Not to mention this contains good examples of effective Numpy and Matplotlib usage. It can be really hard to figure out how to do that stuff on your own.
Another cool site I look at sometimes is Earth Cam
Is HN classified as “social media”?

Geniune question.
The web browser is a sandbox, and it runs as an OS process, which is a sandbox.

I think their comment means you’d be better off targeting an OS level sandbox (maybe based on OCI(?), which means a different container for each OS kernel or breaking kernel change — new docker doesn’t run on old linux as it is).

If you chose the OS level sandbox correctly, that would probably be more cpu-efficient than the web browser.

However, that’s a big “if”, since most of the linux sandbox thingies take multiple seconds to spawn a process, and multiply memory usage by 10-100x.
> Among other things, we ended up disabling almost all targeting and showing crawlers random ads that roughly fit the page

Seems like that's exactly what they did...
They’re air freighting the goods but doing so in bulk, so it ends up being far less than what the customs fees would be. If they were shipping them in bulk to a US warehouse without a designated customer, they’d have to pay customs. But rather, they arrive at a repackager which manages to skirt these regulations - at the expense of the taxpayer and competition who follow the rules.

In other words, they’ve found a loophole to avoid customs on goods with otherwise high tariffs, pocketing some of the money for themselves and using the rest of the savings (and arguably difficult to return lower quality merchandise, we are talking about fast fashion) to undercut competition. I’d think that SV would worship this type of “disruption”.
I'm a Docker amateur, so this will be a dumb question, but if you were using that technique after every run line in a DockerFile, wouldn't they be the same every time they're run? Like, it's random, but it's the same random values stored in the file, so wouldn't the lines get cached? Or did you adjust the DockerFile each time?

Or am I completely missunderstanding?
One size does not fit all. For planning and reflecting on life events, weekly is immensely useful over monthly.

My goto calendar is a letter size page (landscape oriented) with 5 columns.

One column for each week. One page per month. Dates/SMTWTFS go on top row.

Each column (week) gets agenda style entries. pseudo ordered. with just the date and events.

My usecase is primarily logging life events after the fact for reflection and self improvement than planning the future.

This format scales well, needs just pen and paper (no printer, i just draw the lines and put the start of the week day/date per column).

Low pressure, a year is captured in 12 pages. I reviewa very rarely but its there when I need and I can eyeball my way down the calendar without any search capabilities.

I split the page into top half for personal and bottom half for work.

It just works.
"Although medication effects, comorbidities, chronic illness, and drug use (licit and illicit) are common in SZ, these factors are difficult to accurately quantify and control, such that caution interpreting these findings is warranted."
This is annoyingly common in a lot of furniture, including desks. Anyone who's thinking of drilling their desk to put in a desk-clamp monitor mount: make sure the desk is solid, first!
I was thinking of playground slides from the title - maximize signal (sliding smoothly down the slide) and minimize noise (from bumpy surfaces or too-tight turns).

I think the author may be taking the (unspoken) position that we are just a physical system, no cartesian dualism, so comparisons of scale (accepting that processing mechanisms are vastly different) may be relevant.
So Broca’s and Wernicke’s may be the scale of current LLMs, but that leaves other mechanisms in our GI, like the rest of the brain + processing elsewhere eg: the gut - and the social dimension of intelligence, on the table.
I still found it an interesting read - just for the scale discussion.
So what happens if we follow this same path starting with general relativity?

No, I just didn't explain it very well. You have to mash the keyboard each time (i.e. each build) to come up with some new token. The reason this (dumb) idea was so useful was it was a choice between that (dumb idea) and either run with --no-cache (i.e. wait 2-3 hours) or build normally and not have a clear idea why it failed (since no console output for cached layers), so taking a moment to mash the keyboard in a few places (as absolutely stupid as that is) was way better than the alternative of not having complete console output (docker provides no way to --no-cache on a per layer basis, hence my stupid way of achieving it).
ah but I do.

> If there's anything to fear about improved mental health diagnostics it's how this data will be used by insurance companies to exclude customers in countries that lack socialized healthcare (i.e., US).

Since the Affordable Care Act went into effect in 2014 in USA it's no longer legal to exclude people based on most pre-existing conditions.

"Marketplace plans must cover treatment for pre-existing medical conditions.

"Reorgs do not solve the underlying problem" is a sentiment I agree with. However, this article has no insights. It darts from point to point and does little digging (basic pro/con analyses). Despite referring to "research" 3 times, its cites no sources. It ends with a handwavey conclusion about needing more intelligence in tools, and a pitch for an equally vague startup.

As someone working in the space they're marketing to, I'm unimpressed.

For those missing context, Paul Biggar released a blog (https://blog.paulbiggar.com/i-cant-sleep/) decrying what he saw as a massacre of Palestinians conducted by Israel, and supported by what he considered the overwhelmingly pro-zionist tech VC industry. He called out some of his own investors by name.

Paul Graham has tweeted similarly, and also called out collusion in the tech/VC industry to silence Palestinian voices.

I actually was more interested in that comment than the article (not that the article wasn't interesting, but that comment was just wow). Who is the Alliance?? What are the 63 communist controlled platforms?? Who is giving the order to wipe them out?

Yup, seriously, people think an old 35w laptop is inefficient (???) meanwhile burning 60-100w light bulbs all over their home. Yeah, these days LED light bulbs are becoming more commonplace (8-13w or whatever), but even then, if your laptop consumed the equivalent of a few LED light bulbs I think that's pretty darn acceptable. The AC adapter for this X230 I'm using maxes out at 65w output, which I doubt it often hits due to my light usage and power-efficient configuration. A single light bulb.
The real terror is descending into a hell of your mind's own making and it being largely preventable.
This is exactly the answer. It's also the reason for perennial disputes about states rights, and the exact reason that the constitution was written the way it was - all rights not specifically enumerated lie with the states. Unfortunately, the interstate commerce clause has become the mother of all loopholes, and the federal government has ballooned to be an order of magnitude (at least) larger than it was ever intended to be. And now it wields all this unintended power and collects copious amounts of tax revenue, which it then turns around and wields against the states to exercise yet more power.
Encourage anyone interested in communicating to watch this.

I think they are agreeing with you that the power usage of running a home server is indeed unconcerning.
A screen requires a loooot more grunt than this microprocessor, not to mention a lot more battery power and supporting components.

At best you could probably do a small low-res (8x8?) LED matrix with some programmed patterns but even that would require more batteries etc than this and get exponentially heavier.
Damn, now you've made me want to dig up the story of Germany's first online rail journey planner as written by its creator: it was in the 90's, before Deutsche Bahn had an online presence, but they had the journey information on CD-ROM. The guy took the data from the CD-ROM and created a tool that would return journeys between 2 stations if you queried it. And how does the query work? You'd e-mail his uni address, his "server" (in reality a PC in the corner of his room) would fetch emails every 5 minutes, process the queries and e-mailed back the results.

Sadly Google and DDG are useless now, the last time I wanted to find this story it took a lotttt of time.
Are the video IDs sequential in the available domain? or just all over the place? Is there anything in common with all known live video IDs that could make it easier to scan the quintillion possibilities?
That’s a bit of a stretch (pun). You have metaballs/raymarch/csg. You used Raylib. You have cracked the surface (pun) but have still a ways to go before you have a full 3D modeler. Still, the power of parametric modeling using csg techniques (Boolean operations) is its non-destructive nature. You can easy move the shapes to get different geometry. It’s super fun to play with.

I wrote a zbrush clone once, once is all I needed. I like that you explained the pipeline the way you did. You didn’t complicate things with terms like “geometry shaders” or “deferred pass” or “multistage”. Though I expected to see brush strokes and sculpting featured.

Don’t think I’m trying to discourage, on the contrary, we need more folks who know this stuff.
Wow, you went full colon.
>What would it even mean for a particle to have an "action" (whatever that is) that is not minimized?

The particle doesn't have an action. The trajectory of a particle is what the action is defined in terms of. One way to think of it would be "it's a measure of how much the trajectory deviates from the one dictated by Newton's equations." Pretty much like what you said: "I can always find a measure that something else is always a minimum of."

About what a trajectory with non-minimal action would look like: it would be an arbitrary violation of the equations of motion for the system (ex: free particle moving in a zigzag instead of a straight line at constant velocity). Moving in a straight line at constant velocity is what Newtonian mechanics prescribes, and that trajectory will minimize action for the corresponding Hamiltonian.
Even w/o a vulnerability a GPU is a great way to burn battery on a mobile phone fast thanks to some stupid effect on a web page or in an ad.

I like the permission idea.
We have a production service running for years that just mmaps an entire SSD and casts the pointer to the desired C++ data structure.

That SSD doesn't even have a file system on it, instead it directly stores one monstrous struct array filled with data. There's also no recovery, if the SSD breaks you need to recover all data from a backup.

But it works and it's mind-boggingly fast and cheap.
Is it one Gil Trythall piece in particular? I'm browsing the album and can only find quite casual resemblances. (Album sounds fabulous btw.)

No, my point is that these arguments are only ever disingenuously deployed to expand the scope and reach of the security state.

> My article explains why it's likely happening.

Are you saying you're the author of TFA?
The author and the AI video describes some very interesting bugs arisen from assumptions made by the original developers. I'm curious on the technicality of it – what were these assumptions? These are some fascinating bugs. There are some surface explanations here but I have no doubt somebody could write hours worth of content on this, like the other video [0] in the article that discusses real maths.

Personally, I don't find 31-TET compelling since it gives worse ratios for perfect fifths 3/2 (1.495 instead of 1.498) and thus perfect fourths 4/3 (1.337 instead of 1.335).

Anyway, back to 12-TET. Here's a useful formatting:

1.00 C = 1/1 unison, [diminished second]
1.06 C#/Db (augmented unison), minor second
1.12 D ~ 9/8 major second, [diminished third]
1.19 D#/Eb ~ 6/5 (augmented second), minor third
1.26 E ~ 5/4 major third, [diminished fourth]
1.33 F ~ 4/3 perfect fourth, [augmented third]
1.41 F#/Gb !!!!! satanic tritone (augmented fourth, diminished fifth)
1.50 G ~ 3/2 perfect fifth, [diminished sixth]
1.59 G#/Ab ~ 8/5 (augmented fifth), minor sixth
1.69 A ~ 5/3 major sixth, [diminished seventh]
1.78 A#/Bb ~16/9 (augmented sixth), minor seventh
1.89 B major seventh, [diminished octave]
2.00 C = 2/1 octave, [augmented seventh]

Note that intervals are named based on the natural version (i.e. considering only letter half), then modified for the accidentals (sharps and flats). The names in (parentheses) are somewhat less likely to be used of each pair (That is, C to D# is an augmented second, but C to Eb is the minor third and much more common). The names in [brackets] would also refer to the same interval ratio but require either a double accidental on one end, or a sharp and flat in different directions, neither of which I wrote out here. "Doubly/triply/quadruply diminished/augmented" are also possible prefixes but increasingly rare; I don't think further is possible when you're limited to double accidentals.
There was some discussion here on his original blog post, but it was flagged: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38645523

The author talks about JPEG, and says the principle is surprisingly similar, but the connection between the two is actually pretty direct. I will link a previous comment of mine from another discussion of SVD image compression to explain: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34732922

To go from JPEG to lossy WebP (really, VP8 intra frames), the main differences are

(a) using smaller (4x4) transform blocks instead of 8x8,

(b) noticing that if you take just the first coefficient in each block, it looks like a lower resolution of the original image, and applying another 4x4 transform to those coefficients,

(c) adding more sophisticated prediction between blocks (e.g., subtract the pixel on the right edge of the previous block from all the pixels in the same row of the current block before transforming them, or something similar to predict in other directions),

(d) filtering along block edges to reduce blocking artifacts (many JPEG decoders do this, but WebP/VP8 make it a mandatory part of the standard), and

(e) using arithmetic coding instead of Huffman coding.

There are of course other minor differences in the details.

But the main mechanism that underlies both is a transform that can be derived from the SVD if one assumes a simple statistical model of natural image data.
The developer experience is irrelevant. The developer experience on the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 was horrible, but people developed for it.

By definition, I would say yes, as are platforms like Discord. Most people seem to disagree; it seems that to most people, a platform needs to be particularly popular for it to be lumped in with Big Social Media when it comes to stuff like this... Not too sure what the exact number is though
One of the defining moments of my life was installing FreeBSD and figuring out how to get X11 working. Everyday after school I would try something new and one day I finally got it working. Loading an X window with xterm was so amazing.
