You might be right but I highly believe that it would increase in popularity once you have more local only devices in this space.

I have plenty smart devices with stupid apps, but I would pay premium for a quality product with a simple API and no third party servers anytime.

Personally I base many buying decisions around 'hackability'

Edit:// actually I think this is a coming market as Google only recently started to support smart devices without third party servers for their home app so before that local only ment no Google home most of the time.
That sort of what happens, there is just a configurable hard limit on how much new thread may be created that was hit by this benchmark.

As mentioned in another comment: jdk.virtualThreadScheduler.maxPoolSize
I oppose regulating what calculations humans may perform in the strongest possible terms.
It's easier for software to have a catastrophic failure than a building, bridge, or dam. It's not really a fair comparison when those are like easy mode compared to software.
It's an explicitly documented shortcoming of the existing implementation that will be fixed soon. I knew immediately from the title of TA what probably happened. The other similar limitations (CPU-bound tasks, native calls) seem much more severe, but are ultimately unsolvable. Meanwhile, the issue with synchronized is regarded as a scalability bottleneck since the JDK is supposed to temporarily spawn additional platform threads. This behavior can be controlled via the system property `jdk.virtualThreadScheduler.maxPoolSize`.

Also, this is a benchmark. It's not surprising that they managed to produce a situation where more than n_cores virtual threads would actually start waiting.
> So, just add heating element when you need it?

And now you have twice the systems and twice the failure modes.
T&C yes, but not copyright. This is fully consistent with them opposing copyright and not opposing paywalls/api limitations.
Well I’m convinced
Ah yes, let's take the most uncharitable explanation and assume that's the case.

Maybe they have no artistic ability of their own? Maybe they just aren't good at finding the kinds of images (that can be freely used without infringing on anyone's copyright) that they need?

If it were me, and the guidance was "never use AI generated images in your blog post", I would probably just not use any images at all. Which I guess for some people would probably be best. But personally I prefer walls of text to be broken up by... something.
The US seems to have transitioned to a fully financial economy. Nixon and Reagan left to you a legacy that eventually will be America's downfall, just look how the Southern Strategy has eroded USA's democracy, Reagan's economic policies propping up the whole finance sector.

Nothing else matters more than finance, and it's shareholder value above everything else (consumer value, employees' well being, return to society be damned) is the ideology Welch instilled in generations of MBAs that went to control most corporations.

When everything is judged on a single metric it ends up eaten by Goodhart's Law, the corporate game is to manipulate the books well enough to increase share value, the finance market does not care if layoffs will impact the company's competitiveness in 5-10 years, the finance market does not care if the company is eroding their customers trust (e.g.: Google killing off products willy-nilly), if the books look good and costs are down while revenue is up then share price go up.

It will crumble, it's not sustainable, the main issue is when will it crumble and how destructive it will be for normal people.
American coffee cake doesn't have coffee, but English coffee cake does.
> The litmus test for simplicity of a programming language design is its compilation speed, if the language compile fast it is simple but if the language compile slow it is overly complex

No. OCaml for example has a really fast compiler (like Go), but I would not call it simple. It does have PPX (PreProcessor Extensions) which are like macros, so you can't "blame" the lack of them either.

And everything that uses LLVM is _always_ going to be _slow_, no matter the language.
Nothing about me responding will be fruitful nor would it be liked by HN (not fellow readers but the mods. Hi Dang ;-)

Generally I’m abhorred by all this America first rhetoric and all this idolatry of strong men pontificating and puffing out their chests like military dictators.
C++ Undo Redo Frameworks
Pretty sure they do. I follow a few of these safetyist people on twitter and they absolutely argue that companies like OpenAI, Google, Tencent and literally anyone else training a potential AGI should stop training runs and put them under oversight at best and no one should even make an AGI at worst.

They just go after open source as well since they're at least aware that open models that anyone can share and use aren't restricted by an API and, to use a really overused soundbyte, "can't be put back in the box".
I second this recommendation. Multipass is a convenient cross-platform way to run Ubuntu VMs.
Or they know they are up against a kangaroo court.
Its "simplicity" is a reason why it depends so heavily on compile time code generation across the ecosystem.
I wanted to say that they are to smart to expect dmca to protect them.

But then, I think that surely they would use copyright to block competition from using their model
directly.
> It’s all just a set of tools used by the real deity, yourself.

Yeah, don't kid yourself. Open that Britannica link, read up on the omni-everything qualities real imaginary deities had and realize you don't possess an iota of those to be able to put the blame for everything, including code generations of other deities "just" built, upon yourself
The workaround is to increase the carrier thread pool size.
I think 1 in 20 is a bit too high. 1 in 100 maybe to have a significant impact on your life. There are lots of tests now that so you have the chance to abort.

16% of the world population has a significant disability according to the WHO. Most of them are not born with it: age related (dementia, blindness,..), serious work accidents, lasting effects of diseases,...

Loads of them can get treated or won't alter life as much in the western world.

If your family history has no cases of mental illnesses, chances are very low to get them.

For a serious learning disability (not able to attend normal school), it's probably 1 in 20. Most of these kids will still live a fairly normal life in the western world.

Also, chances of disabilities also increase with the age of the parents. Best to have your kids between 20-35 to keep the odds down. Above 40 is a lot more dangerous than under 30.

The tyranny of the algorithm: why every coffee shop looks the same
all your skills are moot if you don't know how to sell.
Don't make the common mistake of "iterating in the basement" and when you need to goto market you flop around, spend too much time on a website and kinda expect things to "just happen".

I would not start ANYTHING before you figure out if you like this part of it, otherwise its just a "expensive hobby".

To figure this out, find something on Alibaba that costs a nickel that you think has some value, buy 10.000 units of it - figure out the shipping and import rigamarole and try selling it however you think works best.

if you like that experience and find it fun, and can "hack" it - return to your toaster.
“twenty-five” is counted as a single word. I know because I once sent a telegram with such a number.
I could get over the perf but the power consumption is rough.

It seems strange that the USB hub is using so much power. From a (leaked?) data sheet I don’t see any way to disable it - but it does have firmware which can be updated? There is also a 5V-3.3V LDO built in so I wonder if that may be what is dissipating so much power.

The AMS1153 looks like a similar story…
This still happens to me too often. Especially annoying in web-based editors.
> R&D: Philips: 12% Siemens: 8% GE: 5%

Having used equipment from all 3, it feels like Siemens 50%, Philips 5% and GE stole some shit and glued it together as a joke someone paid them to perform.

I use MRI scanners and a huge part of my experience could be a local issue with service and application support.
Sub Zero and Wolf is also the US “sounds good in a real estate listing” and with prices to match. You can easily be over $10k for a fridge or freezer!

Worse is the warranty: we had an LED strip behind the crisper drawer fail after about 3 years and it was “Sorry; you’re out of warranty, that will be $220 in parts and $260 in labor”.
There are 13875 matches for mode in the Emacs docs.

Modes are even more foundational to Emacs than to Vim. A new user will encounter a dozen modes by simply starting to use Emacs for a few minutes. Every buffer has a major mode, and there can be many minor modes enabled per buffer or globally. The entire editor is built on a tree of modes, all inheriting from the aptly named Fundamental Mode.

At a basic level, each mode affects what every key does. The idea of keys doing different things in different modes is not unique to Vim.

Which just goes to show that Vim's definition of "modal" is somewhat contrived, as Vim's definition of "modal" applies to a very specific implementation of two to four modes (which coincidentally Emacs also offers multiple versions of, both natively and as third party packages to varying degrees of faithfulness).
Working on something similar. Closed source at least for now. See bio for details!
Pascal also has had numerous extensions.

No one used Pascal of "Pascal User Manual and Report" from 1976.

Strangley compiler extentions are only cool when talking about C, in fact, most C developers have no idea what ISO C is actually all about.
The funny thing is that Java did have green threads back in v1.1, but they were dropped in v1.3.

That doesn't invalidate your point; more than 20 years of Java practice has focused on making things work well for platform threads.
You can't own everything, but referring to something as a "glitch" is essentially ITs thought-terminating cliche.
That is a legitimate problem of SRS (recognition vs knowing), I use a few ways to avoid it:

-Don't do many repetitions of the same card. Eg. if i want to learn 5 new specific words, maybe I use 6-8 sentences that each use 2 new words, so that each new word shows in 2-3 cards. Then I only review each cards 6-8 times in a 2-month period (normally).

-Use long intervals. I rather forget than learn to recognize the thing. But even if I forget, I almost never click "fail". You learn with retrieval effort, even if you just forgotten the thing (that's science)

-Even so, by the 4-5th rep I start recognizing cards, so I be mindful when reviewing, and force myself to really think the answer (occasionally, writing down the answer, for instance). This clashes with my principle of going fast, so there is deff a balance.

-I don't track "streaks", but if I struggle or I have the feeling that something shows up too much, I archive and create more cards.
I'm not a security expert, but as far as I know, the fingerprint should only be used to identify a user (like a username), not authenticate.

Not sure about how much data any entity could leak but if you want to be sure, perhaps you can use a different method on your phone?

> Even if a third party has my biometric fingerprint details, can I rely on how physical access to my phone is necessary to bypass the fingerprint lock?

I think not, if the third party is a government.
> The biggest issue isn't the software glitch system.

I disagree, the software glitch was the problem here.

We are supposed to be able to rely on computers to store and add numbers or report a system failure. This accounting software showed in black and white that some funds that the sub-postmasters were responsible for had gone missing.

What else was the legal system supposed to do? The broken software was simulating crime perfectly.
10,000.
Couple of observations here;

- RISC-V has miles to go, I worry that with the current pace of ARM it may never catch up.
- The assertion you can’t buy UMPCs in 2024 is patently false. GPD and a whole host of manufacturers make em.
- A non mobile optimised blog in this day and age? That was a chore to read on the go.
People use the word "heritable" as if it meant "genetically determined" or "immutable", neither of which is true.
Try to mine bitcoins on battery and let me know how much it lasts.

Same thing.
The safety movement really isn't as organized as many here would think.

Doesn't help that safety and alignment means different things to different people. Some use it to refer to near term issues like copyright infringement, bias, labor devaluation, etc. While others use it for potential long term issues like pdoom, runaway ASIs and human extinction. The former sees the latter as head in the cloud futurists ignoring real world problems, whiles the latter sees the former as worrying about minor issues in the face of (potential) catastrophe.
It works well enough in Python and NodeJS.
AI safety / x-risk folks have in fact made extensive and detailed arguments. Occasionally, folks arguing against them rise to the same standard. But most of the arguments against AI safety look a lot more like name-calling and derision: "nuh-uh, that's sci-fi and unrealistic (mic drop)". That's not a counterargument.

> If we're talking about nuclear weapons, for example, the tech is clear, the pattern of human behaviour is clear: they could cause immense, species-level damage.

That's easy to say now, now that the damage is largely done, they've been not only tested but used, many countries have them, the knowledge for how to make them is widespread.

How many people arguing against AI safety today would also have argued for widespread nuclear proliferation when the technology was still in development and nothing had been exploded yet? How many would have argued against nuclear regulation as being unnecessary, or derided those arguing for such regulation as unrealistic or sci-fi-based?
The difference is mostly financial. Lots of people around me install/upgrade their rooftop PV system right now, and most of them get a small battery to make it through the night. Both a new PV system and a battery is subsidized, and the money is easy to get.

Heatpump upgrades to existing houses are much more expensive, and for some reason the subsidies are incredibly complicated to get, and there's no guarantees for exactly how much you'll get approved.

Baby steps, I guess. Financial incentives (and the extreme price drop in batteries and PV modules) mean we're starting with switching normal household electricity consumption to renewables. We'll do household heating... some other time.
Show HN: Indiebackers – Back indie projects and earn rewards
Hi Hackernews! My name is Sokrates and today I am launching indiebackers.dev

I started working on Indiebackers once I realized that a lot of people (including myself) do all the heavy lifting, such as

- A brand and logotype
- Buy a domain
- Make a landing page
- Deploy a website
- Coding if necessary

All that jazz all to validate an idea?

Existing platforms today focus primarily on launching. Indiebackers focus on the shaping of the idea until it's a MVP and ready to launch.

Why would anyone want to become a early bird or adopter? What do indiehackers get from early birds and what do they get in return?

By incentivize, by rewarding early adopters with benefits and perks for their help, both parties gain in their partnership.

The process is easy:

Submit your ideas to the community
See what sticks - Get upvoted, or maybe it just was a silly idea? If you're lucky you might just get people signing up for your idea!
If you're lucky, people sign up, then it's time to start working towards an MVP.
Launch and reward your early adopters for their input during the development phase!

Things to know!
What is Indiebackers not? Crowdsourcing platform. Crowdsourcing are for projects that are dependent on monetary forms. The idea behind Indiebackers is that monetary forms are great but not the essential part for in the beginning of a indie products journey.

Body will always try to reach homeostasis, diabetics (type 2) just never gave it a chance by overeating sugars and/or not moving enough to use that sugars properly. Once you cutoff sugars and give your body enough time it will back to normal so you will be able to eat cake again.
Just a data point about my blog which, in addition to RSS, has a Fediverse presence and and provides an email subscription option: the blog has 53 followers and 16 email subscribers.
I have used VM softwares before and would have preferred using them in all honesty. This was more of an exploratory "can I do this? if yes, how far can I take it?" exercise. I just wanted to see how much effort would it take if I just wanted to "simulate" stuff (turns out 4 measly scripts). Plus I already use Docker in my work. This helps me avoid installing the VM software separately.
It's unforgiving, but that's also a bit refreshing. The feeling of accomplishment after a coding session in vim cannot be replicated in other editors.
Just here to give a ref to The Toaster Project[0] and its accompanied TED talk[1] from Designer Thomas Thwaites[2].

From Amazon to bartender, my personal fall from grace
It has been a tough last few years. It's often difficult to explain to people how I got to where I am right now, making minimum wage across two jobs when I was once a boot camp graduate who landed my first full time role with Amazon within 6 months of graduation. Truth is, I've spent the last few years getting fired from positions for lack of productivity. I would move from contract to contract after I left the amazon, thinking things would be different next time, but it always ended badly. My last gig was 6 months ago, and I took up a job working as a bartender and another at a smoke shop, making easily 5x less than I made previously. Although the simplicity was nice at first, I've realized that it really isn't sustainable where I'm living, both financially and intellectually.

I have ADHD, and I am in my first year of understanding that this is what was truly happening. I see a therapist for my condition, and am more hopeful than ever about my progress. After a long wait I had my first appointment with a covered psychiatrist, it's looking promising that I will be to receive treatment for my inattention. I am still trying to find a job in the industry, but it's seriously disheartening the lengths I need to go through to stand out from other candidates, as well as make it past ATS filters. I didn't understand nearly to the extent it was holding me back.

For example, I recently had an ATS scanner service explain to me that if I apply for a "ReactJS Developer" position, the algorithm can't even discern that my roles that generally I describe as "Senior Front End Developer" are being filtered out before they reach a human. Even though every position on my resume lists React! What an infuriating system! We as the progenitors of so much of the systems that run the world today are behest to the the stupidest bots imaginable to save costs.

I work on personal projects, but more often than not I lost motivation and don't make it across the finish line. my github looks sparse, my job tenures look strange, but my will to continue on has not faltered. To anyone who has faced challenges in the recent job market, know it isn't your fault. Our profession is less than 100 years old and carries power beyond measure. If you struggle with focus but love to learn new things you are not alone. It's a hard card to be dealt but you can find the help you need. I am here, I am still trying, and there is no harm in pouring a few beers.

Would love if Multipass could extend to other UNIX flavors as well.
The author says that he is from Croatia:

He is talking in the context of modules as in Modula-2 and Oberon, not language types, or the split interface/implementation, which goes towards your point as Modula-3 and Ada allowed various interface module/package declarations to the same implementation.

Still not the same as Objective-C/Java interfaces that later on become more widely known, or Standard ML modules, CLU clusters, all of them type system based.
For me the biggest joke is that these people call themselves "software engineers" in the first place.
Curious what kind of interfaces you're thinking about? (Aside from vi, vim, nvim)

From my experience anything with "vi navigation" basically just means using the home row keys for navigation + modes. So I haven't come across many interfaces yet where the verb order differences between helix/vim come into play.
Low salary coupled with customer facing job creates sour people.

Imagine you are talking everyday to weird, bitter, arrogant, rude customers for years - even with high salary you will be not so positive.
that might be the hotspot of most everyday user interactions: decoding video, compositing windows, scrolling panes, redrawing windows, drawing text glyphs
Yes I'm using Apple iPhone 20W USB C charger. Guess it's 9 VDC/2.2 A.
Just to see if I can. Just a small weekend exercise.
"Complexity" might be subjective though, but then again it looks simple to me because I made it, so I might be excessively biased.
They might have designed and implemented it, but does it work? :)
This is a British scandal, and we’re quite capable of avoiding consequences for malfeasance in every sector of our economy, not just IT thank you very much.
Good guess -- their bio lists them as born and living in Croatia.
I was involved with historical reenactment, of the medieval kind, and have interacted with those of the later era. So, there is a lot of research that is going on, and a lot of it involves both artefacts and visual evidence ... and if we look at these, we may get a very weird picture of modern warfare. Operator, shades, action heroes, promotional materials. And most of all - propaganda and depolitization are all forces in our media, that distort the picture.
If the third party is a government (any random three letter agency) none of your opsec matters. Move to Russia as Snowden did.
I think it's only cheaper because people aren't being compensated for the annoyance caused by road works that take forever. Months of detours, traffic jams, dirt, people struggling to get to their homes/shops/whatever, probably even extra accidents. If we were to put a monetary value on those, maybe the cost of working odd hours would be compensated.

It might not even be necessary to work 24/7. My street was recently dug up over its entire length to install new water mains and sewage pipes. It took nearly 2 years. Only 1 crew of some 5 people were working on it at any given time. Given that the street is roughly 1km in length, at least some of the work could probably have been done in parallel with multiple crews.

But that's just my armchair constructioning.
Anything that has a base Docker image available, this would work. RHEL, Debian, etc should work without much effort. I have not seen older OSX Docker images so probably not. Windows server does offer some base docker images.
I’ve been able to do that when I said I went to certain schools, worked at certain companies and changed my picture
