The problem is guns. If someone claims to have one it's a lot more credible in the United States. Also we have a LOT more gun violence so the fake calls are outnumbered by the real ones. There are over 50k SWAT deployments in the USA per year. Most teams are deployed at least once a week.
I'm not sure I like the way these types of articles frame things, because they tend to create strawmen arguments.

I absolutely do not believe that "nice people finish last" as a rule, and I know people who have been very successful in part because they are good people.

However, I have also absolutely seen many cases where people do get ahead because they are jerks, or corrupt.

There are still third cases where I don't think the people are bad people, but I think the system rewards bad behavior, which they take advantage of without necessarily even being aware of the consequences. Or they benefit from a broken or random system, and then don't recognize how they got to where they did, or something.

I guess as I've become older I've become more upset at systems that reward bad behavior than the persons doing it. It's not that I don't care about them, it's more so that I think a well-functioning system should have checks and balances and structures to prevent it, and in every case where a "jerk" got ahead, I've come to realize I was more upset with the people around them who condoned it, rewarded it, or took advantage of it. There's also cases like the third case, were I don't know anyone should be punished, and they're not meaning to do harm, but they do it anyway, and should be prevented from being in that situation.

I think there's some corollary or something to "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" that's along the lines of "corruption seeks power". People who are corrupt, or who do corrupt things, don't do things that aren't in their self interest, or are self-sacrificing, almost by definition. They might fail, but they still move in the direction of power or money. So on average, even if there are good deeds that are rewarded, if the system isn't tight enough, corruption or unnecessary harm will slip in. It's like some gas or thermodynamic law or something: sure you can find enough of one moiety somewhere, but the flow goes one way and not the other.
It’s a formal recall by government regulation, in our world it’s a software update.
There's some interesting recent history involving the C-27 Spartan. The Army saw a capability gap between its CH-47 and the Air Force C-130 for intra-theater, tactical lift in Iraq and Afghanistan, so it pursued the acquisition of this small fixed-wing cargo aircraft. There was another agreement for the Army to give that up in favor of the Air Force continuing the program, but the DoD / Air Force quickly reneged and canceled the program. The Army ended up relying on a lot of contract airlift support instead.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alenia_C-27J_Spartan#United_St...

Looking at the Indo-Pacific theater, I think it's clear to everybody that there's a serious shortage of capable airlift and sealift assets across the board.
I was inspired by this and created a version with customizable ball count, accessible code... and a speed slider, to satisfy the less patient among us.

This is the definition of vendor lock in; the more you use embedded non-standard functionality of a product the less likely it is that you'll ditch it.

As long as you're aware of what you're doing it's fine. And you're documenting your usage, right?
Ask HN: Using Mistral as encoder for SDXL-like net
How would I go about using Mistral 7b as a starting point for making a model like SDXL? Obviously somebody's gonna do it, so I'd like to try myself :) I'd like to use a quantized version, you know?
My experience has been "any time." There are always pros and cons, things will always arise, time passes. Best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, next best is now.

Now a specific product or service may be much more impacted by the market it will be in, so that requires forethought.

And a business can be "a job" or it can be an entity one plans to eventually sell, with or without others being part of it (partners, employees, etc.).

Financing has also changed quite a bit, my ventures have been frugal, so that is my experience.

Honestly, I am trying to gather more user feedback. I've seen traffic of 2.5k so far, but most visitors didn't sign up, start a conversation, or do anything; they just left. I can't learn anything if people don't even complain.

I understand that uploading private information to an unknown site, even for a trial, is very difficult. So, instead of asking for bank statements, I am asking users to start with any PDF. The reason I'm asking for this is because without context, it's just another ChatGPT.

I want to build a local LLM to operate on devices, but currently, most LLMs don't run well. I'm hoping this will change with WWDC when Apple announces new iOS updates and new AI features.

I am desperate to get some actionable feedback that I can work on to improve, or I might just have to abandon this project. That's the reason I'm reaching out. Sorry for spamming.
SQLite has a built in mechanism for loading extensions at runtime. The extensions themselves are just dynamic libraries. The main entry point for the extension is an init function that SQLite calls when the library is loaded. Within that init function, the extension can register a number of different kinds of functionality:

* custom functions, including aggregate functions, window functions, and scalar functions: https://sqlite.org/appfunc.html

* virtual tables: https://sqlite.org/appfunc.html (This is how stanchion and other extensions like FTS and sqlite-vss are implemented)

* table valued functions (also implemented through the virtual table mechanism)

* virtual file systems: https://www.sqlite.org/vfs.html

It's really impressive how extensible SQLite is, and it's the power of that extensibility that makes stanchion possible.
It's good to want things! We can just disagree.

There's not enough space on the front page for all the good things we want to read. I'm not interested in expending extra effort to rescue marginal stories with a low likelihood of generating a good conversation. The people most invested in these kinds of stories seem to be almost the least invested in HN's rubric of curious conversation.

I don't call any of the shots around here, but I think I speak for a bunch of different users who flag this way.
Don't forget the small things. Obviously, ergonomics and having a separate work space are important, but what frequently gets overlooked is having an area that you actually want to work in.

- Get some plants, photos, or other decorations that add some life and personality.

- Dislike having cold hands? Get a heated desk mat (I started out with a heated mouse but upgraded since I hated only having a warm mouse).

- If you don't like seeing a mess of cords, get monitor arms and cable trays.

- Figure out what size cup/water bottle you prefer. If you like to get up and stretch a fair amount, a smaller cup can provide more excuses to do just that. If you're like me and drink less from smaller cups since you don't want to risk running out when you're in the zone, get a larger one.
> But that's now how most people view a recall.

Heh. Ironic. I remember (recall?) the good old argument used for calling something "Autopilot"...
Recall is a legal process that protects companies like Tesla.

It has nothing to do with how the product is put together, how it functions, how it's used, whether it's software or hardware.

Whether a company voluntarily issues a recall, or a recall is issued through a regulatory body, it's a process that ultimately attempts to fix safety problems with products sold to consumers, but does so in a way that protects the company from being sued for the problem.
What is the breakdown for how this money is being used/spent? Understandably AR/VR is costly (hardware, software, etc), but I am wondering what percentage of this money is going to the AI research that can certainly help AR/VR but also be used in other contexts (as in the research allocated to AR/VR can be multi-purpose and not really a pure loss).
They aren’t allowed to change the font size without issuing a formal recall. Even if they initiate the change on their own, if it’s safety related, they have to file for a recall.
Apple Vision Pro: Exclusive Interview with Apple Design Team
Indeed, you'd have to have very clear specifications and perhaps sample prints that can be ordered to get samples of various qualities available; and then public review/rating system would be necessary for people to build up cred.
I don't always use the mouse, but when I do, I only use the mouse, no keyboard needed at all.

Using CTRL+C/V requires an unholy synchronization of mouse and keyboard. But unix-style middle-click paste is entirely mouse-controlled and very elegant. Of course, if you are inside a text file, you can use vim keyboard tricks that are even faster because you don't need to select the text.
The simple solution would be to display a log of all removed/flagged/shadowbanned posts and comments, like Wikipedia does.
Only you can decide it, but, uh:

1) Are you primarily interested in finding a way to extract revenue from people, or are you primarily interested helping people? If the former, please, don't. We have too many parasitic businesses already.

2) You either help people do what they are already doing better than they could do it previously, or you help people do something they want to do but couldn't do previously. If neither of those apply, please, don't. We have too many solutions in search of an acquisition already.

3) Do you want the tradeoffs? Starting a business sucks. Not starting a business sucks. Decide which problems you're willing to have. If you aren't willing to have these problems, again, please, don't. For your sake.

But, if you do want to help people, you know how you'll help them, and this sucks less for you, then get going already.
Can you post the doc?

> To block the necessary amount of solar radiation, the shade would have to be about a million square miles, roughly the size of Argentina, Dr. Rozen said. A shade that big would weigh at least 2.5 million tons — too heavy to launch into space, he said. So, the project would have to involve a series of smaller shades. They would not completely block the sun’s light but rather cast slightly diffused shade onto Earth, he said.

Do we have the capability to launch 2.5 millions of tons into space, even if it's split up among lots of separate crafts in separate launches?

The completed ISS is around 450 tons, for reference.

I can't even imagine how much fuel it would take, even if we had enough reusable rockets.

I'm not necessarily philosophically opposed to the idea -- I'm just wondering if it's even achievable. The idea of filling the atmosphere with particles to reflect sunlight seems to accomplish the same thing, but far easier to do.
Uhhh, 'misinformation?'

I just watched Musk's "what's going on at the border" video from four months ago (I usually don't, today I randomly clicked.) The next in queue was a legal guy discussing the talk of succession. People are really going on about it. Not just people, the politico.

People want it. No shots are fired, though we live in a different age and this is sort of how things are done.
I would also include the periodic Monty Hall re-post (everything that ever comes up in the discussions can be found in the Monty Hall problem wikipedia page).

And also pretty much any article about inflation.
Unfortunately, a lot of those are honeypots, even though the number might be unbelievable. A quick look on the first page shows this one[1] claiming to be a PHP web server serving a Java application(!), this other one[2] claims to be an embedded system web server, this one[3] claims that it's a streaming service, this one[4] claims its Mac OS X server (how long has it been obsolete again?)

And those are just the headers! Just taking a cursory look at [4], I can see it is claiming to be a ASP.net server being served by a TP-Link device on one port, all the while also being a QNAP device on another, and also another PHP application served through thttpd. All the while running on AWS...

You are most probably the product of the colonisers, ie "your kind" did not exist in your country before being colonised.

Back to Japan, it is not like there is vast spaces of fertile land there that "needs" to be put under plow by colonisers. It is already a very densely populated country.
Thing is if it is only 0.01% of users Facebook won't give up on they can just do a few ipv4 server/address. Now Facebook has severs around the world, but if it is only a few users they just need two servers - and that is only for redundancy. Now they have thousands (maybe even millions? I don't know) of servers and they may as well give all the external facing ones IPv4 addresses as most need that anyway and so the hassle of maintaining IPv6 only servers isn't worth it.

And of course if you are in the 0.01% you will discover that while Facebook and google won't give up on you many other providers will as it just isn't worth the cost. By that time the cost won't be IPv4 addresses - they will be again free - it will be the cost of maintaining IPv4 on all the routers and servers. (the routers mean IPv4 will cost more, but it won't be for the address it will be for routing access)
Absolutely. 1000%. I buy trucks primarily because the capability aligns with my hobbies, and secondarily because the mass affords me additional safety. My F150 is 6,000lbs. I imagine a 2,800lb Corolla wouldn't fair too well in a frontal offset crash with me.

Infact my vehicle would maintain forward inertia. The Corolla would reverse direction. That's a lot of Gs that the Corolla gets that I won't.

Just a nit on your article: I think you meant 'retch' not 'wretch'.
This seems difficult to resolve because staff time is limited and you can’t do everything. That’s why tasks need to be prioritized. But how?

Distributed prioritization seems like a problem; you can get priority inversion if you’re not careful.

It's worse when the requirements are impossible. I was told recently that one reason I wasn't shortlisted was because I didn't have 10+ years of experience with Angular 12+.

For those who don't realize, Angular 12 was released in mid-2021, less than three years ago. Even if the company meant Angular2+, that was still only released in 2016, less than eight years ago. I asked if they meant AngularJS (originally from 2010), but no, their requirement was 10 years with "new" Angular. I informed them they would be looking for at least two more years, but good luck anyways :)

I've seen the same type of request for React as well, with one company somewhat ridiculously asking for 15+ years of React experience (it's less than eleven years old).

I think the quality of technical recruiters has taken a hit in the last half-decade or so.
The Wehrmacht was stopped before Moscow by the Soviets before lend-lease supplies had any meaningful impact. And the Soviet would not have ended the war when the UK exited it. Which never was an option to begin with, a seperate peace with the western allies was one Hitler's many pipe dreams.

The victory against Poland was, in the end, meaningless with the failure of Barbarossa. As was the victory against France in the West, as soon as the war in Borth Africa was lost by the axis. There never was a path to Axis victory, and winning the first to rounds by points is meabingless if you get knocked out by round 6. Should be self-explanatory.
Turns out almost all jobs, with the possible exception of commission-only sales, are nothing like owning a business at all.

For one thing, you're only covering a tiny part of the enterprise.

Another issue is you have a performance safety net. Most people coast through life, which is OK, but that's not good enough for running a company.

The most important problem though is that a job has a well-defined path, but in business you can never know what the "right" thing to do is until after you've done it and it either worked or didn't. Having a well-trod path you can follow is a million times easier than starting with nothing and making it all up as you go along.

To quote King George 3 in Hamilton: "it's so much harder when it's all your call."

I think the way to do it is to start a business, inevitably fail, and then just rinse and repeat until you finally figure it out. Easier said than done!
Growing up during a drought: 'nudging' sustainability behaviors
Not inevitable at all. It's entirely feasible to specify categories of chemicals. E.g. see the german law on novel psychoactive substances[0] that lumps substituted molecules together with their primitive variants.

One could even go a step further and mandate outcomes instead of means, that substances must be proven to either have a low environmental half-life or to not bio-accumulate.

Could anybody recommend a book for learning IPv6? I know there are plenty out there, but what are the best, HN's recommendations? I get the general concepts and I use it on personal systems but I've spent too long just skirting by. It's time for a deep dive. I think the best type of book to learn from would have a mix of textbook knowledge and practical examples/demos.
I use them almost exclusively in my home wiring - they're so much more user friendly compared to wire nuts. They are not large at all - I find wiring that these take a lot less space in tight boxes than a wire nut since they're flat and you can push them to the back more easily:

https://imgur.com/a/tGTUJd9

They make stab Wagos as well which I don't recommend, but the lever ones are great. You can work 'hot' if you need to replace a switch or anything (don't work hot blah blah blah). Much of my existing wiring is crappy 50s era copper and in some areas, aluminum -- so to add GFCIs where useful, I use either the levers to join copper of shitty provenance or the ALCU junction connectors and a bit of the paste.
It sounds like you should be upset at the agency and not the fact based reporting.
If you really want to overengineer things, take a look at https://kmanc.github.io/be_my_guest/! I only put in the effort to make this work for my own networking gear, but it could be pretty easily extended to work on other hardware :)
That is definitely not a good alternative. Three major problems I've had with it:

1. That heuristic is not just in Safari, it's in Chrome too. Firefox is the only one with a normal permission dialog. And the heuristic is really confusing for users! They come to me and say "how can I stop my data from being deleted?" and I have no answer if the heuristic says they can't enable persistent storage.

2. It only helps with eviction (deleting data due to low disk space), not other scenarios where data may be deleted. Such as clearing the "browser cache" without realizing what that implies, which may even be done automatically or through some third party app.

3. I have a place in my app settings page where users can see their persistent storage setting and also enable it if they want. I have many reports of users who enable it, then check back some time later, and somehow it's disabled. So the persistent data setting seems to not be persistent.
Please note it is only available to nationals of countries and regions that are either visa waiver countries or have tax treaties with Japan, which is different from the conditions of Korea and Taiwan. Only 48 countries are eligible to be visa applicants; 25% of the world’s 192 countries are covered [0]

So it's kinda like a "first-world" toy for now.

Pardon my ignorance, but how would this fare against a simple, purely mechanical connection, like wiring terminals, like the ones used for home electrical installations? (Or more specialized ones, since we're talking Military Grade.)

I'd imagine the terminals to be more reliable under difficult weather conditions, slightly less likely to set off any explosives you might have right next to you, do not produce any sound/sparks/smoke when you might want to stay undetected, recoverable/reusable if the non-blown-up parts could be recovered (exercises, guerilla warfare), longer shelf-life, the only tool you need is a pocket knife, etc.
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
HN is a leftist echo chamber, so “flagged by users” is still a relevant and interesting metric here (that I think would also prove my point).
On the other hand, this is your chance to name it fsck, fwkc, fck. It'll be harder to rename later.
These aren't just confluence honeypots though. They serve multiple combinations of headers as I described in my other comment[1], so that they can catch the most amount of attackers.

> Secondly, if you can’t build a system that actually decouples the frontend and the backend, that’s a “you” problem, not a technology problem.

You're right it's not a tech problem... it's a logistical impossibility. It is impossible to decouple a web frontend from its backend.
