Oh yeah, it’s gonna be real bad when the “our ‘thin’ people would have been considered fairly chubby 40 years ago” millennial generation (mine) gets old.

Science might be about to rescue us from that with Ozempic and friends, assuming those don’t turn out to do horrific things to a person over time. Once some of those go generic and the prices plummet, anyway. But failing that, yeah, it’s gonna be a lot of skinny immigrants helping obese, diabetic 70-year-olds with shot knees & backs get to the bathroom. Or maybe we’ll get robots for that, by then, go full Wall-E, who knows.
Hello,

I wanted to share a new Python project I've been working on called Jake. It's an alternative to popular link aggregator services like Linktree and OneLink. Jake leverages the power of GitHub Pages to provide you with a hassle-free way to create your one-link website. The best part? It won't cost you a dime!

With Jake, you can easily showcase all your important links and content in one central hub, neatly organized and easily accessible. Your website will have a sleek URL in the format of "username.github.io," giving it a professional touch.

Jake is completely written in Python and uses the `tinyhtml` library to generate static HTML websites. Simply fill in the `data.toml` file with your information, and Jake will automatically build and deploy your website to GitHub Pages using a GitHub action.

To give you a taste of what Jake can do, I've prepared a demo project for you to explore. Just visit https://thevahidal.github.io/jake and see the potential for yourself.

If you're interested in contributing or want to dive deeper into the project, you can find the Jake repository on GitHub at https://github.com/thevahidal/jake. I welcome all contributions, feedback, and bug reports. Your input will help shape the future of Jake and make it even better.

Thank you for taking the time to read about Jake. I can't wait to see what we can achieve together.

Best regards,
Al
There are also people forcing other people to live in a state of undeath while hooked to machines because they "care" too much.
It appears that targeted exceptions have been added for specific situations lobbied by current FOSS and commercial stakeholders. Hopefully there will be an ongoing process to address the need for new exclusions, as the vast scope of the CRA becomes clear to societies eaten by software.

New OSS governance and runtime binary attestation (aka DRM) layers are being defined by the CRA, e.g. only specific attested binaries from open-source trees that follow specific development practices would be allowed to run in critical systems:

Open-source software stewards shall put in place and document in a verifiable manner a cybersecurity policy to foster the development of a secure product with digital elements as well as an effective handling of vulnerabilities by the developers of that product.

… Open-source software stewards shall cooperate with the market surveillance authorities, at their request, with a view to mitigating the cybersecurity risks posed by a product with digital elements qualifying as free and open-source software.

… security attestation programmes should be conceived in such a way that … third-parties, such as manufacturers that integrate such products into their own products, users, or European and national public administrations [can initiate or finance an attestation].

Legal liability and certification for commercial sale of binaries built from FOSS software will alter business models and incentives for FOSS development.

Oh I stopped paying much attention to games after DOOM so it would be tough. But from the up-to-1983 era, Star Raiders and M.U.L.E. would be all-time greats, not necessarily equalled since.
Ok I'll bite. Let's assume you've informed the current models about copyright and asked them not to infringe...

> A monthly base salary is a labour protection for the employee, forcing the employer to take the business risk and distribute revenues from the peak times to the slow times, ensuring a stable revenue for their workforce.

This sounds like it should be the concern of the government, not a business. Such as a universal basic income.

Bootcamp is a joke. Every Intel Mac runs a complete EFI impl based on the stock Intel one, and can just boot Windows without Bootcamp.

Also the only way to install using GPT, as Bootcamp's bootloader hides the GPT header (and OSX uses 2 out of the 4 MBR partition slots) and forces Window to use "legacy single partition mode", which means no Bitlockering C:\ as the EFI boot partition (required since Vista, no matter if it is a EFI/GPT or Legacy Bios/MBR machine) is where ntldr lives now (same way in the MBR days you had /boot on a different unecrypted partition, so you can boot linux, load the initrd, and then unlock the root partition); Windows uses 3 partitions, EFI boot, C:\, and the recovery partition.

Once I realized that, I blanked the entire disk, and purged OSX forever. I made that decision 10 years ago (the MBPr is still alive!), and I never looked back.

Our minds do operates internally much faster than our mouths or fingers.

The speed we go from thought to thought internally is lighting, compared to how fast we operate when we have to update the subjects of these thoughts on pen and paper. Or explain every step of our thinking, as we make it, to someone else verbally.

Our brain is far more densly connected and faster operating than brain signals sent to direct a physical arm and hand, pen, paper, back through the visual system.

Being able to adjust any stable visualization in the mind by just visualizing the change to instant effect, removes mental friction and increases internal bandwidth.

Any removal of friction or increased bandwidth to thinking is profound.

Slowed more careful thinking, and slower collaborative thinking, are often helpful. But being slowed down by limitations is never a help.
> Hungary is blocking aid out of the EU budget. It has zero power to block other EU countries from giving aid out of their own budgets.

This is mostly making my point. Money that the UK would send to the EU would no longer be under their control and unavailable to send to Ukraine -- which is being held up by intransigent member states like Orban/Hungary. All of the UK's funds are presently within the UK's discretion to send to Ukraine. If they were a member of the EU, less funds would be available to even consider sending to Ukraine. It is quite a lot harder fiscally speaking.

> Not true. EU member states have been giving independent aid to Ukraine - for example Poland

With all due respect to Poland and it's people (whom I admire), you can't really compare the political gravity and the pressures of the UK vs. Poland. The UK was one of the leaders in within the western EU and had to act in coordination with the rest of the EU. Also, Poland is in a very different political situation (i.e., Eastern Europe, border state, former Soviet Block, etc.). If London would have spent the same amount of it's GDP as Poland, there would have been a lot of concerns and raised eyebrows in Brussels for sure. If the UK were in the EU, they would be feeling the pressure not to get too far out in front of the slow-footed Germans. Poland doesn't exert the same pressures on Germany as the UK would while in the EU (again nothing but respect to Polish folks).

Re-export agreements are standard in all arms agreements, so that's a different matter (which I agree with you about).
Ask HN: Will Google offer an iOS compatibility layer for running Android apps?
If/when there third party stores on iOS become available, will Google try to provide a compatibility layer for running Android apps on iOS? Maybe even provide its own store that offers everything available on the Android Store?

I think that would be beneficial to Google; they’d see much more of what iOS users do on their machines, and could keep pressure on Apple to open up their OS more for those Android features that can’t be implemented well on top of iOS.

I wouldn’t know how hard it would be to provide it, though.

I also may overlook a reason why that would trigger investigations into Google’s App Store. Maybe it wouLd become too powerful, triggering investigations into it? Do they want to open that can of worms?
It increased the demand from 2230-2300 (assuming Denmark either has higher demand at that time, or could itself export to Germany)

If the cost in the UK is 5p/unit and in Denmark is 7p/unit, the price will stabilise at 6p/unit as the UK sells to Denmark, decreasing UK supply thus pushing price up

If the cost in the UK is 42p/unit and in Denmark it's 40p/unit, the price will instead by 41p/unit as the UK buys more from Denmark, increasing supply, thus pushing the price down

So you massively interpret (and misinterpret) what I write and then, purely on the basis of your interpretation, accuse my of lying. Precious.

You might want to look up what a "lie" is.

> And when I was speaking about cooling problems, it was specifically about the French reactors.

And when I responded, I was specific about this not being a problem with nuclear reactors in general because we know how to build cooling towers.

And yet you accuse me of lying.

OK, so you have nothing but generalities and platitudes, thanks for confirming.

As a language learner, there are other activities that are better bang for buck than Duolingo. Duolingo is good for low-effort practice through gamification (which is useful for keep a language alive in your head), but it's not meant to teach a language.

The key to learning a language is comprehensible input, and repetition. Our brains are statistical machines and it naturally retains things that are repeated a lot (and spaced).

Of course there are some frequent and stubborn words/phrases that don't stick, in which case, I put them Anki and SRS them. I don't recommend Ankifying everything -- you'll never have enough time to practice and will get demotivated -- but it's very useful to Ankify stubborn words that don't seem to stick, and practice those only.

For instance, in English there are phrases that all seem alike but have very multiple and different meanings, like "put up", "put out", "put in", "put into", "put down". As English speakers we instinctively know what these mean in context, but for a non-native speaker it's super hard to tell the difference, and the key is just to memorize them in context ("put up the curtains", "put up with Joe's habits", "put up a fight"). Anki is super helpful for this.
Why? Nuclear plants are extremely valuable targets for at least two reasons:

1. Destroying them can cause great environmental damage. People are going to be afraid of something like intentionally caused Chornobyl, which gives the attacker a lot of leverage.

2. Nuclear plant is a very centralized energy source, which means a huge disruption when one of them is hit.

I can't think of any other industrial complex that makes a country that vulnerable in case of a war.
> once you have batteries or other long-term storage, but that's not good for your narrative, now is it?

Well, I'd love to see that happening in my lifetime (I just turned 40, so that leaves like 30-40 more years for some breakthrough to happen). For now it seems that the technology is simply not there yet.

EDIT: All of that is to say: I'd like for our policies to be based on the actual technology that we have, not on wishful thinking.
This often is not the case. In the same way that with coding it is often, but not always, easier to start from scratch, the constraints of an existing building often pose more issues than building from the ground up.

This is common across property types.
That's a bit unfair. Tesla has some bets on the table that might be bad bets, but not because they have to manage an EV transition while still making gas cars.

If they are still trying to make cybertrucks at a profit at the end of 2024, they will be paying a pretty steep opportunity cost. But they're not "legacy."

No. It”s still very helpful. However you can not blindly take whatever it produces and publish it.

Sometimes it hallucinates.

Sometimes it draws weird looking hands.

Sometimes it generates copyrighted materials.

Check the work it produces.
I received a book that had been written all over, full of notes and scribbles... it was sold as "new".

I complained, and they sent another.

That too was scribbled all over, notes on every page.

The book wasn't that expensive, I was a bit annoyed, but it's a rounding error to me, so I just ordered another thinking no way would this happen again, and because I did need it quicker than I cared to go through the service desk again.

The third was also marked on every page.

I complained, and they gave a refund for the 2nd one but not the 3rd... all of them were ruined though, none of them could be gifted (which was my intent), and ultimately I just sent it to landfill / recycling / incineration.

I keep learning, if I actually care about what I receive I avoid using Amazon. They're fine for some things, but the list of things they're fine for seems to be ever decreasing.

All of this was UK btw, YMMV elsewhere and with different categories of goods, etc.

Also, when I got the refund, which took about 20 minutes of my time, the tone was weird "congratulations, we're able to offer you a refund today"... this wasn't a prize, it was crappy goods and you weren't even fully setting me good, I dread to think of the number of refunds for obviously damaged goods are not honoured such that this was worthy of congrats.
This is why you encourage immigration.

If you prevent talent from coming to the US, companies will follow the talent.

This is why American cybersecurity and networking has almost entirely been outsourced to Israel and India and chip manufacturing to Taiwan and South Korea.
I agree with this too.. AI is only going to exacerbate the signal to noise problem on the web.
Which is why there are so many competing interests (in this thread, and elsewhere) trying to say it should be 100% legal to steal from those companies. They all want to profit unfairly off the work of others.
> So it didn't matter how many times we rotated our secrets

I'm confused, did you rotate your certs or your secrets?
> Are you saying that it's literally impossible for me to invest in a local gym, real estate development, plumbing company, landscaper etc. and not beat the US equity market's average return of 9% a year?

Yes, without taking additional risk. SP500 is risk free, everything else, you need to be pricing in additional risk OR you need to have an edge other than providing money (which you can do buy buying VOO). hn_throwaway_99’s second paragraph explains it well.

One common arbitrage opportunity is to be part of an immigrant diaspora. They won’t have access to credit, but will be willing to work 100 hours per week. You can take advantage of that and basically use the fact that you are getting under minimum wage labor that is very invested in the business to get better than public equity returns.
Lol. Yes, I'd tell them that it's "for their health". Everybody likes that one.
I believe, if anything, copyright is more useless than ever. It's an anachronism when these powerful tools of media creation are so available to so many people. Is it more valuable to society that a select few benefit from decades of cultural appropriation, or is it better for society that cultural artifacts from my youth to be freely available to everyone? As it stands, I may even die before material from before my birth becomes public domain. That's greedy, stupidly shortsighted, and an inefficient allocation of resources.
> One interesting observation I made is that usually mainstream midrange cards seem to hover just over 200mm². That includes for example cards like the HD 7850, but extends all the way to the likes of the RX 580, RX 5700 XT, but also the GTX 1060 or GTX 660. Those cards are all 256 bit if AMD and 192 bit otherwise, funnily enough.

this is indeed an interesting observation btw, and I have mused before that it's interesting how NVIDIA leans towards narrower buses with more advanced tech while AMD tends to lean towards plainer wider buses. Which is sort of the same observation but from the other direction.

by that I mean, they were first to lean into (lossless) delta compression, and continued to retain an advantage in compression ratio for most subsequent generations. They were first to lean into quad-data rate with GDDR5X, first to lean into PAM4 with GDDR6X, etc. They very clearly favor narrower buses with higher "intensity" for their high-end stuff. Supposedly this reduces the power-per-bit-transfered but man looking at GDDR6X I really don't know, 3070 Ti is massively worse at efficiency than the 3070. Evidently they don't clock down the memory very well and at full transfer rate the total power is significantly higher (even if the per-bit is less).

I wonder when we'll see the return of consumer HBM cards. It feels like the time has to be approaching soon, especially with high-NA reticle limit hitting in a gen or two. Memory PHYs are an obvious thing to cut back on for NVIDIA in particular, since they don't have MCM yet.

the analogy also applies to high-end where NVIDIA is usually topping out at 384 and AMD has gone as high as 512b before. I think this is no longer possible with GDDR6/6X due to signal integrity/routing and the pcie card dimensions, everyone is topping out at 384b now, even AMD.

HN folks seem to prefer Podman instead of Docker.

To the degree that's true, the preferences of HN folks probably isn't the best North Star for a career...it encourages the expression of contrarian opinions for the sake of expressing contrarian opinions and by design, HN fosters an endless september.

Out in the real world, Docker has better brand recognition and though there are arguments for Podman, who wants to have an argument? Sure some people want that, but it might not be a good substitute for getting paid.

Finally, no amount of study is going to bring the expertise that comes with a bit of on-the-job experience. So if you are going to study one, study the one that is most likely to be used on the job. And the one most likely to get you a job.

Compare:

I don't know Podman, but I know a little Docker.

Good luck.
> Marketing copies of your own work are normally part of your contract with the publisher. Why is he getting them retail?

Because he's self-publishing. I can't imagine printers would offer that perk to self publishers, because then you just become a free vanity press.

That's not really a culture, rather a policy.

Culture is how people in the organisation think about work. Are they desperate to take credit? (Individual or team) Assign blame? (Individual or team) Overwork? Do they care about developing the employees' skills? Is the pay fair, are increases given to retain talent?

Amazon's long had a culture of high pay, work people very hard, accept the high churn.
It depends on what one wants out of it. Obviously it's not going to be good as a tool for learning to speak, and it's only ever going to at best be so-so for listening. That said, according to Duolingo I should be right around the cusp of A1 & A2 based on where I am in their program. Based on online reading/writing tests I consistently score right around the cusp of A1 & A2. So it's not total bollocks.

I've been using it less of late though, so progress is slowing. I only use the website and they've consistently been making things worse by mimicking the app. They recently switched to the hearts model that the app has which has had a few effects:

1) I am much more cautious and much more likely to cheat (use the UI to give me a hint). I used to push myself by taking a stab at things I wasn't sure of, and if I failed, so what. Now if I'm not sure I'll get the hint first.
2) I spend less time using it. Between making legit mistakes and stupid errors (tap the wrong key, etc) I burn through my hearts much faster than I'd give up in the earlier setup.

Still, I like it for what it is. It fits more easily into my lifestyle than taking classes or other more active forms of learning. I recognize that this brings limitations. But it is far from useless.

Mario is a 30 year old culural touchstone that is well known by people who have never played a Nintendo game.

I don't see why we need to give Nintendo the exclusive right control the use of Mario for the next 65 years. That duration of control is absolutely not necessary for society to function.

Society would function just fine of the copyright on mario had expired two decades ago.
