It's not clear about what you're complaining here. What exactly is ridiculous?

This just offers a different channel through which to circulate patches. Unlike email, which requires everyone follow some ad-hoc convention in the email message, with ActivityPub the protocol itself can support structured data about the patch.
The problem with that statement is that it's basically a tautology, since the words "balanced", "healthy" etc. hide all the complexities. What is a "balanced" diet? What is moderately fit? What is the definition of a healthy social life?
I guess my comment was misunderstood. What I meant was that there wasn't option for Ukraine to have peace, because Puting doesn't want peace. Any peace achieved by appeasing him would be temporary and serve only to strengthen him for the next round of this war.
> The biblical rules concerning sabbatical years are still observed by many religious Jews in Israel, but the practices prescribed for the Jubilee year have not been observed for many centuries. According to current interpretation of Torah in contemporary Rabbinic Judaism, the observance of the Jubilee year only applied when the Jewish people were living in the Land of Israel according to their tribes. Therefore, Jubilee has not been applicable since the destruction of the Kingdom of Israel in 722 BCE by Neo-Assyrian king Sargon II.

Have to say, we humans are very creative when it comes to greed!
Ah the "exposure as payment" argument. Every artist is familiar with it. Landlords, grocery stores, and bill collectors won't accept exposure as payment. If you live on expousre, you die from exposure.
Note that there are some small music distributors (eg. RouteNote) who give a much larger share to artists. (85% to the artist, 15% to the distributor)

Note however that very few successful musicians started on those small distributors. That suggests the marketing done by the bigger distributors is still very important for a musicians success.

Sorry I don't get it, you specifically asked for pointers to a good discussion in which I can be a part of to understand the importance of this new launch better, and this list gives you som pointers to such discussions; the Rabbit R1 was subject of a recent (week(s)) post to HN and some ppl did chime in to offer their thoughts, so that's a starting point for you—if that's what you want.

I see you're trying to downplay the situation, but these teens literally had to climb the barbed wire fence that surrounded the camp. According to this article[1] they even tested negative the day before, yet couldn't leave.

If I recall the situation correctly they weren't traveling, but Aboriginals with no means to self-isolate from their families so they were taken into quarantine.

Your efforts to downplay this is what is so extremely scary about humans today. Before covid I thought another Hitler (yes I went there) was impossible, but now that I've seen how quickly people turn on each other and shut off their brains I'm not so sure. It taught me a lot about fascism for "the greater good" and how otherwise reasonable and sane people turn bat-shit insane with enough fearmongering.

Is the "act like a" pattern still necessary?

I've stopped using that with GPT-4, since in my experience the default "persona" (for want of a better word) answers most of my prompts well enough already - saying "act like an expert in..." doesn't seem to get me notably better results.

The tooling I most want is some kind of lightweight but effective way of trying out and comparing multiple prompts with small tweaks to them to get a feel for if one is an improvement over the other. Anyone seen anything good like that?

I think you may be misinformed about "electronic money transfer" at least in the United States.

As far as I know the only way to execute an immediately-settled electronic transfer is a wire transfer, which is inaccessible to lots of people and has an associated fee for nearly everyone else.
Thanks for the insights. N9 was originally rumored to use Intel, and it was speculated so [1] still half a year before the release. Was that then also switched by Elop as part of the whole lineup change, or were these rumors unfounded in the first place?

You're right. This is totally not predatory behaviour and there's absolutely no need for any sort of regulation.
You don't need to think in terms of information to get the right answer, you just need to be careful of the setup.

You can easily apply frequentist probability reasoning and still get the right answer. You have to start from P(n > 50 | first pull is a red ball), and compute P(second ball red | first ball red) based on that.

Basically the mistake is computing the frequency over 100 balls, instead of computing it over the 100 possible values of n multiplied by the 100 balls.
If this turns out to not be true, and just said for the amusement of thinking of all the people jiggling their keys at insects, it reminds me of something a friend in high-school said to me:

"If you peel a banana, take a bite off the top, and then poke your index finger in to the middle of it, it will split in to perfect thirds".

Upon trying this, I discovered it was not true, and my friend just wanted to see me stick my finger in a banana...

Consumers can easily get the Pro edition instead of Home. There used to be even a update purchase link in some control.exe applet.

I've tried getting Custom GPT actions to work the other day.

The workflow is terrible. The UI is broken and requires me to keep refreshing and re-navigating to the editing page after each change. Saving doesn't work every time. The actions themselves don't work either (I think they pushed an update while I was testing, turning them from "broken and usually doesn't work" to "utterly broken"). There is no sensible feedback about what went wrong. No error message, no logs. The "executing action" UI is broken, and I keep getting various versions of the UI randomly on different runs, for some god forsaken reason. Sometimes there is no UI at all and the bot dumps the raw command straight into chat.

I've seen alpha-quality software, and this isn't even that.
IMHO the base framework can and must be simple and unnuanced and easy to remember:

* eat as little and never drink: sugar, alcohol

* seek: stuff that feeds you and your gut biome and doesn't cause diarrhea (aka avoid ultra-processed food)

* bonus: at least once a week: fish, salad, nuts, fruits

Sure, thats not nuanced. But the message is simple: If you eat/drink sugar, alcohol or processed foods, then your body will degrade faster and your biological organism will run on pain, inflammation and fatigue.
I live in the UK in a small village next to a large city. Just had a quick look and there are tons of issues within the 1 mile radius, that don't have issues on Google Maps.

* A pub that doesn't exist - there is one about 15 miles with that name, but there's never been one called that here.

* The local church is in the wrong place

* The opening hours of the local cafe are wrong (11:30-3:30 instead of 10:00-3:00)

* Business names aren't correct
Calling that true love at that point is like calling a mcChicken a healthy bite.
Revolut is an example of one of these banks – However, they probably do not cash checks.
I don't think DNS has anything to do with this whatsoever :)

Even if it returned a different IP it would have to be verified by TLS. And it wouldn't affect what the browser is capable of doing. That even being possible would be a huge vulnerability. DoH is more of a privacy feature than security.

It's a weird thing and hard to understand without more details but like the other reply I think it may be a PWA.
Precisely, the UX feels simple, and you get results almost in an instant. If you did write a plugin before, pulling over your action is just a matter of copying & pasting your existing definition. Also, at least some developers love themselves some great UX too :)
Yes, it’s a mistake to take the expected value before the ball is drawn, because the drawn ball adds information, disproportionately changing the expected value.

Consider an alternate game, where I flip a hidden coin… if it is heads, I let you pick from an urn with 99 red and 1 green; if it is tails, I let you pick from an urn with 1 red and 99 green. The expected number of red is still 50, and the chance of drawing that first red is still 50%. But once that red is drawn, your expectation of what the next draw will be should change significantly.
Well, your list is not exactly complicated..
I've planted around ~300 trees in a 4-year long restoration project.

Selecting native species needs to be done, but that's not that complicated (either by asking organizations, or by reading the recomended list by the state/country/whatever).

Maintenance is low. Sure, don't plant trees that need water every day, but that's it. Irrigate them every week the first year. Pruning ? But they're not fruit trees ?
ActivityPub supports authorized requests from federated actors, which would allow access to private resources. It would be a trivial exercise (speaking here as someone that implements fediverse software) to add permissions for users on other gitlab instances.
> And eating meat's fine (from a health perspective, if not ethical necessarily). We've been eating it for a couple of millions of years.

The current theory is that we developed sweating and bipedal walking to be endurance hunters, i.e. running after a prey animal until it is too exhausted to run any further. Tool use and development were also driven in part by hunting (spears, atlatl, bow and arrow, skinning knives etc.). Overall humans are omnivores, as evidenced by tooth layout. Some populations still manage to live on primarily meat-based diets (Inuit), albeit with some difficulties.

The main issue is the amount of meat: Hunting was difficult and dangerous, limiting how much meat we got. Being able to eat meat every day for almost every meal is a recent development and is a major difference to prehistorical diets. Plus, factory-farmed meat is significantly different from free-range animals w.r.t fat, hormone and antibiotics content.

Show HN: a PMF accountability buddy – sends daily reminders to focus on PMF
Hey HN,

I'm one of those founders who has always been too product-obsessed - I never give 'market fit' the attention it deserves.

Recently looking back I was embarrassed to see how much time I was wasting: building the wrong thing, taking too long to pivot, rarely refining the niche…

So I built a PMF accountability buddy to send me a daily reminder to focus on PMF.

I hope you find this as helpful as I do. Would love your feedback pls

The market is fine? Do you have any sources to back that up? I'd argue that my family with its rampant technological illiteracy are part of "the market" and they would all throw a hissy fit if their environment and work flow suddenly changed after a reboot.

git-appraise[1] implements that concept. From Google, no less.

I've never used it, or seen it used in the wild, but it always seemed intriguing, and like the obvious approach. The web UI traction is far greater for this to have any serious usage, but I wonder if Git had that ability from the start, if the web UI concept would've taken off as it did.

There is a large segment of crossover where small non-IT centric companies will run it on whatever was on sale at their local reseller and a couple of Cloud services for CRM and accounting and no IT staff/policy.

For those to sign up with a Microsoft partner and buy into the full packet could be an significant market, Though it could end up a net loss for MS if this segment start to go Chromebook in a major way the way a lot of school districts did.
In most EU banks a line of credit is something you apply for. Cards are usually also attached directly to the account.

Banks in Denmark are obligated to extend a basic account to all customers and usually do it with a debit card. Ie. no offline transactions and no transactions that can not be immediately cleared.

I don't know why you dismiss this. If you are from the US then be aware that EU and US banking systems are wildly different (where the US system is really good for the wealthy people).

If you are from EU, then it sounds like you haven't changed your banking situation or stayed up to date in at least 15 years.
In my area the top H1 salaries are mostly doctors and radiologists in the $200k to $500k range, but a huge chunk of the overall H1s go to teachers making sub $50k/yr. Along with random stuff like aircraft mechanics (also sub $50k) and postdocs (sub $60k). But a lot of random ones seem like scams - school district has a computer lab technician at $36k, for example.

MVP Launch HN: Neo – EdTech Company Marrying Neuroscience with Entrepreneurship
Hello HN friends,

I'm Tibi and I'm looking to get accepted for the S24 batch with my company - NEO. It isn't related to Keanu Reeves - it stands for NeuralEntrepreneurshipOrganization.

My mission and my company's mission is to "decode" how the brain works and how you can "hack" it to your advantage.

I intend to do that by creating software that will provide courses, content and sometimes on-demand training sessions showing people how neuroscience can be used in different areas like: 1. Human Behavior; 2. Negotiation, Sales and Marketing (like it or not we all negotiate and sell on a daily-basis, no matter what our profession is); 3. Money & Financial IQ; 4. Leadership; 5. Mindset; 6. Startup Culture.

These courses are meant to give people a competitive advantage in those fields compared to a skilled expert who does not understand how the brain works.

These courses are addressed to founders and people working in startups.

To wrap this up - I came up with an MVP under the form of an written mini-course) that I highly believe can help people for which you can find the link in the title.

Thank you very much for allocating time to read my post/presentation,
Tibi Dinu

Only when there is so much critical mass behind all of it's competitors that they can't ignore it any longer. Improbably, for the time being.

I think a lot of it depends on the instructor.

I was doing pretty nice TiG welding after one class, which was probably around 2 hours per session times four sessions. Better than most of what I see with tradespeople in the area. That was true for most if not all of the students there.

A key was that the instructor was a master. He created amazing works of art by constructively adding metal. He was trained in all sorts of esoteric areas too, like underwater welding.

There's about a mile-wide gap between being able to fuse two pieces of metal without leaving a hole (which is fine for most professional work), and being able to make a tiny insect by building it out of little dots of metal. Learning to do what our instructor did would be like black magic.

However, what you're describing just consists of having proper technique and proper equipment. It's a very learnable skill.

I don't think you can get there by stumbling around yourself in a workshop, though.

(Unfortunately, it's also a forgettable skill if you don't practice, which I didn't)
Actually, check out this comment [0] I made in another thread that was recently posted (copy pasted below), it's about Compose Multiplatform in Kotlin, it seems to be an upcoming Flutter competitor. It's pretty intriuging as I was initially using Flutter because I didn't want to have different apps for each platform, but it seems like with CM, it can do the same thing as Flutter but with more advantages, as I wrote of below.

[0] https://reddit.com/r/FlutterDev/comments/1afeo2r/has_anyone_...

---

Something I thought was really interesting in Compose Multiplatform is that you can transparently use both platform views and CM views together in a way that I haven't seen in Flutter.

I just watched that video [0] as well and I wanted to highlight a few interesting concepts there. Check out the timestamp 41:37 where they talk about the above interoperability. They have an example of a messenger app where the messages are in CM while the text input box is in Swift, so that this ensures that you are not reimplementing the native text editing controls as Flutter does, so I see that as a clear advantage for specific things like that. I don't believe that is quite possible in Flutter, or am I mistaken?

Also see timestamp 51:23 where they talk about graceful decomposition where if you decide to remove CM, you are left with a regular Android app as CM is backwards compatible with Jetpack Compose. It looks like CM can both paint to the screen but also fall back to using pure native Android components.

The way the architecture of CM is set up seems to make CM quite robust. Initially, I wrote off Kotlin Multiplatform because I thought, what's the point of sharing business logic in Kotlin if I still have to write the UI twice for mobile, not to mention for the other platforms like web and desktop. But now with CM, it looks like they're directly addressing Flutter to the point of taking a lot of concepts from it like you mentioned, like painting pixels on the screen (but optionally falling back to native views), or using WASM and canvas for the web which is exactly what Flutter Web does too.

I use Flutter quite a bit but it seems like Compose Multiplatform might be the future, or at least a big competitor, due to Google focusing more on Android dev and the whole Kotlin ecosystem in the past few years, it seems. The only con right now seems to be that CM is way less mature than Flutter, which really reminds me of where Flutter was several years ago.

Yes, the naming is less an ideal, to say the least. That being said, I'm not too sure what a better never would have been either.
A good point.
Going into a supermarket I know I'll be filmed, but will avoid self-checkouts where I'm shown a live video of my exciting checkout experience as it does make it feel a lot creepier.
For basic direct lighting its not all that weird, but for any indirect lighting or translucency etc it is pretty whacky. I guess it basically boils down to most real-world scenes having both fairly broadband light-sources and typical material spectrum being also relatively broadband, and in general having smooth spectrums. I'd imagine if real-world for some reason predominantly consisted of super spiky or notchy spectrums then the RGB rendering would struggle more. Or maybe not.
