What "the food chain"? IMHO there are many relatively disconnected food chains.

There are many natural ecosystems which could and would be severely disrupted as the food chains there break up.

However, the food chain for homo sapiens largely relies on artificial monocultures that can be moved around and replaced on a large scale if the local conditions change. Natural environment can't switch to a "warmer climate biome" overnight, but a farmer can and will plant an entirely different crop in the next season if that suits the place better now, with only some expenses in retooling tractor attachments. And while there are many food industries which are relatively brittle, these are relatively niche 'luxury' foods which often are economically very valuable, but not the staple foods which actually feed the population. Like, if California had to abandon growing almonds due to water issues and instead grow something less demanding (and less profitable), that would destroy a huge industry but wouldn't cause food insecurity.

The earliest radio receivers that I built as a kid were entirely passive, eg a tuned circuit and a diode, and the captured energy was enough to drive a ('crystal') earpiece. I was many many (tens/hundreds of) miles from the transmitters.
If it makes you feel good, do it. It can also cut down on log noise a bit, for when you’re really looking for something.

We’ve switched to only subscribing to a single service at a time. When we get several items to watch on a service and exhausted our current service, we cancel the current and restart the “new” one.

I suspect with Netflix’s recent crackdown on sharing, this will get much more common and their recent gains in membership will reverse.

They just don’t have that much good stuff coming out, nor do many of the services.

Show HN: Hacker News AI
Hi HN, I built an AI that can interact with the Hacker News API: https://hn.aidev.run

You can ask questions like:

- What on hackernews about AI?

- What on hackernews about iPhone?

- What's trending on hackernews?

- What are users showing on hackernews?

- What are users asking on hackernews?

- Summarize this story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39156778

It uses function calling to query the HN api.

To answer questions about a particular topic, it’ll search its knowledge base (a vector db that is periodically updated with the “top stories”) and get details about those stories from the API.

This is pretty barebones and I built it today in < 2 hours, so it probably won’t meet your high standards. If you give it a try, I’d love your feedback on how I can improve it.

If you’re interested, I built this using phidata: https://github.com/phidatahq/phidata

Thanks for reading and would love to hear what you think.
Yes, for sheet that is the best way. For complex shape it's milling for subtractive and sintering for additive.

It's arguably the least relevant streaming platform these days. We primarily keep our subscription due to the few shows our kid watches from time to time.

Netflix can produce absolutely gorgeous shows, but they lack either the ability or the will to produce anything with with a good story. On top of that they are no long able to buy any good content.

As for pushing ads... Nope, I've spend the past ten years mostly ad free, I'm not going back. Whenever I do see ads on TV, when visiting family I feel assaulted. The cuts and the messaging feels like it's actively trying to hurt my brain.
> In the waning days of the Trump administration, the Department of Justice (DOJ) secretly negotiated a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with Boeing pertaining to the criminal charges. The DPA enables Boeing to request that the pending criminal charges against it be dropped if it does not commit any crimes over the term of the agreement.

> I noticed startling timing: The agreement was signed on the infamous date of Jan. 6, 2021. The Alaska 1282 door plug blowout occurred the Jan. 5, 2024, which is just a hair before the expiration of the three-year term of the DPA. Should Boeing have criminal responsibility in this blowout incident, then the earlier criminal charges arising from the Boeing’s deception of the FAA would no longer be eligible to be dropped.

> The ONLY answer, live your life like there's no tomorrow because chances are is there isn't going to be.

The problem with this attitude is that it prevents you from solving problems that might actually affect the odds of humans making it to tomorrow or any other near-term date. Right now it looks as if we're in the run-up to World War III. [0] Perhaps we should spend a little energy preventing that. Or perhaps aquifer exhaustion, a long-standing issue exacerbated by climate change. [1] Or solving the political polarization that prevents us from addressing other problems. [2] Humans have faced all of these problems in the past and generally solved them.

Climate change is obviously a serious and challenging problem. But it seems doubtful civilization will be directly overturned any time soon by climate change alone. Europeans and others made it through crises like the Black Plague, which killed a third or more of the population without extinguishing the arc of civilization. [3] It's the knock-on effects we need to worry about, as well as the things that prevent us from fixing them.

How is it different now? Just because they introduced an ad-free tier to price discriminate? They basically did the exact same thing with that qwikster manuever, decoupling DVD and streaming in order to charge more overall. Any online service that can make money by decoupling premium features and charging for them will simply do so.

The game was always profitability, they just had their eye on marketshare gains earlier.
I have a Jetson as well, and you are sorely mistaken. Just reading the doc pages everything seems nice and well, but Nvidia deprecates these little boards like no other. No support after you've bought the thing, and everything is kept frozen. (ie no new python, no new python dependencies, etc) What they aren't telling you is that specific sub-versions within each jetson/orin family board have differing support (ie not what they say on that website you are reading), and it's up to you to figure it out.

I've gotten my Jetson to work well using Yocto to build my own linux distros with correct updated dependencies, libraries and updated jetpack, but it's not for the faint of heart, and that's a whole other ball of yarn. It also takes a few hours to generate a new build every time I need to update some dependency that depends on other dependencies (Yocto maintenance is a full time job in many embedded development shops - you're basically authoring your own distribution).

Treat these devices as what they are: embedded target boards for fixed industrial development (for example, to go into a robot or a car - once that design is finished, Nvidia will expect you to NEVER update any part of the system with an embedded jetson or orin system for years, until you replace the whole thing with their newest model that you buy off the shelf again).

This is standard fare in embedded and robotics space. Do not use these boards for any kind of rapidly moving software development, because it's the wrong tool for the job.
This is the issue I've found with SRS style memorization in general. It's basically the definition of overfitting.

Indeed, and thus I stand by my original point, though downvoted!

The UK Wireless Telegraphy Acts made it illegal to listen to something that you weren't meant to by fiat without need of any proof of harm AFAIK, so there could easily be random laws in various places outlawing this extraction of power that has to be made up by other generation, even if small.

You generally aren't allowed to extract even small amounts of power from the system unmetered with a wire either, without specific permission.

Looking at the history of things like fibromyalgia and CFS (remember when that was called “Incline Village Yuppie Syndrome” to dismiss it?), I think your god of the gaps comparison is quite apt and it seems like it’s especially used to minimize diseases which affect people unlike the speaker.

Actual aircon units are quite cheap these days eg this 480 euro https://www.amazon.fr/KLARSTEIN-Windwaker-Smart-Split-Climat... Not sure about the installation. Maybe you could DIY? I was thinking of it in London and imagine the installation will be more than the units.

One thing I can't work out is if something like that - a heat/cool aircon unit counts as a heat pump from the point of view of getting a government grant?

WAF seems to be an essential piece for any website with even a little bit of visibility / traffic on the net. Some questions:

* Comparison of AWS WAF vs Cloudflare vs Others?

* Many services like EC2 charge for data transfer [1], so how much of your monthly/yearly costs of hosting goes toward fending scans like these? Does AWS count any traffic blocked by the WAF toward the transfer limits?

In the early 2000s I was a pharmacist intern and then early in my career working retail pharmacy as a PharmD. I knew the pill mills around me, I would provide DEA agents with clear examples and little to nothing was done about it. What I did get were credible legal threats from patients and physicians for not carte blanche filling what was written by their doc and then I started getting pressure from my district manager (after all I was denying big fat cash payers!). At the same time I saw pharmacist going to jail for "inappropriate dispensing" while the doctors who were running the pill mills were getting in no trouble at all. I left outpatient pharmacy as fast as I could. It was clear no on wanted to do anything to actually solve the issues at hand.

I also get so frustrated with all the border bullshit. Doing anything at the border is trying to solve the problem two thousand miles from the root cause. And pretending that migrants (people trying to come to the US permanently) have anything to do with drug runners is about as stupid as it gets.

Yes, just writing down the word-translation pair is not useful at all. To add a little context helps, for example use app , like Linguee or similar ,that adds phrases when then context makes sense.
Microsoft Teams already generates a ton of data(down to reactions on messages) that you can see in the Entra activity log. I guess this is aimed more at Slack, etc. which I am sure already has plenty of logs somewhere.

This does nothing to address the out-of-band channels. Most of my working peers will use Signal or other applications to communicate off the record so this is mostly window dressing.
You can ask Anki to also generate reverse cards.

But yes, word only cards are good in the beginning when you are learning only the most basic nouns and verbs but you quickly need sentences.

I’m sure there are plenty of online dictionary services which can do some sort of Portuguese sentence search for you.
> I learned about them today. They achieved what they wanted

You might as well say every single stunt of this nature is a "victory".

You learned about yet-another-environmental-group (the article only mentions their name), but you knew about the climate crisis already.

> attention is needed

The climate crisis does not lack attention. So much so people are fatigued and jaded.

Awareness campaigns are redundant. People are sick of it. You have a small demo that might be interested in reading about pragmatic solutions, some that drink the kool-aid for x/y/z ideology, and the majority that have tuned out of the conversation.
Oh cool, I'll check these out! I've been doing some coding myself to learn Finnish. I'll post a video of my tool in a little bit. I generate a daily set of exercises, and then track my progress over time.

The tasks: scrape all the selko articles and then generate fi-> en translation tasks in the form of phrases (using an LLM). Same thing except en->fi. Free form task generation where I tend to use HS for articles (so like, adult Finnish). And then one I'm working on now, Finnish transcription from auto-generated speech, from selko again.

A lot of my evaluation is based on embedding + cosine distance. LLM's are truly bringing a golden age for language learning.
They are definitely still paying FAANG salaries: https://www.levels.fyi/?compare=Google,Facebook,Netflix&trac...

>if you write the cards yourself instead of using a preexisting deck

I disagree with this. Anki's power comes from spaced repetition. Spending your time creating cards instead of actually reviewing the material is very inefficient. If high quality decks exist for the topic you're learning, use them instead. I've learned this the hard way.

Fields like medicine and language learning (you will still need to create your own deck for sentence mining but that's different as it's not a time sink) have great decks. For actual "niche" topics though, creating your own decks is your only choice.

For people who are going to create their own decks: check the Anking deck to see how to create "great" cards.
That is a good description, that's exactly what it feels like. There's a few hold outs from "the good time", they still have Star Trek and a few other shows they managed to get long term deals on or a show where they somehow formulate a decent story for a season, but overall it's starting to feel pretty off brand.

What Is a Constant Voltage Transformer (CVT)? (+Perfect Sine Wave) (2014)
lets not forget how the US government first forced doctors to give out more and stronger pain medications by
1)issuing edicts that “pain is the fifth vital sign” (i.e. equivalent to pulse, bp, temp, respiratory rate), AND
2) tying reimbursement to “patient satisfaction”
Both ideas could have helped improve healthcare, but without safeguards, they became a way to empower drug addicts to demand strong pain meds, and empowered pharmaceutical companies to supply them - a great example of what Thomas Sowell would call “second order effects” that are almost never considered when enacting new government policies

If you look at the spreadsheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Tn3PNewzF4t2nT9etXeq... then you'll notice that there's about four hundred people involved, most of whom did a mere two pages. That's really not a ton of work for any one artist.

If you go to a comics convention you will find a ton of stuff along these lines, at a smaller scale - here's two or three things you like, put together in a funny way, maybe you'll buy that, maybe that'll draw you in to a person's table to look at their original work and become a new fan of theirs.
