I'm sure that's true in some places, but my original point (somewhere upthread) was that I've been in cities with plenty of cycling infra but where utilization was very low and mostly two walks of life, wealthy white people and delivery people.

So the a first step has been taken there, building the infrastructure. But they need to actively take the second step and spread cycling. 'Build it and they will come' doesn't seem to work.
Great, constant nags (on every app restart) to upgrade an app that will no doubt result in less user control and more ads.
Safety usually isn't the problem. It's the public notice periods, feedback collection, final notices, environmental impact studies, lawsuits over whether the environmental impact studies were sufficient, possible need to get the government to invoke eminent domain, studies over which potential version of a project needs the least disruption, and so forth.

Near where I live is a bridge over a river that needs replacing. The county had to study three different ways to do it, weighing environmental impact, traffic disruption, total cost of each option, and so forth.

The planning and regulatory portion of the project is easily 75% of the timeline, and that's for a fast one due to the condition of the bridge itself. If it were less urgent, it would have likely taken even longer.
1. ICMP messages often don't reliably make it back to the sender. This is especially true with low level load balancers.

2. You at least get some information. Maybe half a packet is better than no packet.

3. You get an exact size limit of the entire path the packet took. Rather than just a "too big" of the first hop that wouldn't pass it.

Overall I think it is a pretty decent solution. Assuming that the IP header says the original size or similar so that the truncation can be easily detected.

I do see some flaws though:

1. Layered protocols would have to be more complex to deal with packet truncation. (Although I guess they could simply treat truncation the same as dropped to avoid extra complexity.)

2. Checksums at the end of a packet being dropped likely make the whole packet useless.

3. It may be better to get a quick rejection from a local router rather than the possibly far away peer.
I've been running Ollama in Windows WSL for some time now.

It's x86 Linux after all. Everything just works.
I'm very skeptic of that 1/8th rule. Usually output impedance should be as low as possible, so that the resistance added by the cable becomes negligible in comparison, and its intrinsic capacitance won't turn it into a low pass filter. Unless I'm missing something, at least in audio, amplifiers with lower output impedance are always better than those with higher output impedance.

No.

It adds to the magical 'engagement' metrics they believe they measure. And the higher they believe their 'engagement' metrics are, the larger ad prices they charge, resulting in higher revenue from ads.

Everything the 'social media' sites do revolves around "how to serve more ads to more eyeballs".
Apparently the original author says no one is allowed to comment on this post unless you have purchased their work. I'm not sure why they would post something on hacker News asking a question if they're only soliciting answers from those who purchase their work? It would seem to be better to ask the question of their customers of which I'm guessing 99% of hacker News is not.

Being challenged on your core premise is part of answering a question and it does not matter if it is a customer or not.
> nobody ever tries to model worlds with different physics or different physical parameters and try to make them work.

Alternative models are being explored all the time. There is incentive to do so, because coming up with better explanations is likely to win Nobel prizes. What is now called the standard model, however, so far explains the existing observations the best, despite being more complex and having a higher amount of arbitrariness than most physicists would like.
Part of the problem is that people skills are essential to being a good engineer. Those with strong technical skills but weak interpersonal skills can still be great if they’re paired with a boss that can obscure their inability to communicate with others. But it’s difficult to know as a hiring manager if the tech boss you’re hiring for will have that ability. It’s almost gambling and hiring managers hate gambling more than anything.
They could have just gone to Switzerland and Germany would have been nearby! Also you get Germand and French speakers! So easy to jump between France and Germany.

Personally not sure I find one Bezos to be worth much.

Point to a billionaire and I’ll show you a coddled idiot who couldn’t grow their own food.

The top, if there must be one, should be the people wearing out their bodies to make the roads and grow the food.

Office workers munging numbers around is not worth much to the real economy that requires construction and production of real things.

Why should a rich person have the ability to burn more fossil fuels?

Nah we need a more scientific method for economics. Perhaps constraints built on how much a lifestyle pollutes?
I've heard this before and I'm pretty skeptical. First off, all office buildings I've seen have tons of windows. It sounds like they need to divide the spaces with larger (gasp) apartments. Or you offer each apartment a huge storage space, which I think people would REALLY like to have.

I fail to see how if huge warehouse districts were effectively converted to housing, that a effing office building that has plumbing and electrical to a substantial degree already can't be done.

Code is cover for NIMBYism.
Yes they are that expensive (although I didn't pay anything for them). The price you paid is definitely more typical. I adapted to mine quickly too I just don't like them very much.
Digging deep into my memory here, but I always remember that when Zout==Zin that's what you want for maximum power transfer.

My guess is that the 1/8 trick is for the typical characteristics of small-speaker headset. Big speakers may have different capacitance and inductance characteristics.

I don't know though. That's the first time I heard that approximation, and it doesn't seem to align with anything that I learned in electronics.

Troll farms are flourishing on Youtube. Especially this week when lots of bad news from Avdiivka started coming. Most of comments by @user-... are from trolls. They will share similar amounts of likes too.
Eh, there's a lot more to replacing e-ink than than just length of time an image can stay on the screen. There's also the energy required to flip the pixels and also the pigment grain which dictates the resolution, plus the pitfalls that come with going high-res with pigment display such as ghosting, blurryness, etc.

Seeing as these are all thick segment displays, I doubt that company will be making Kindle-level displays any time soon, but for stuff like thermometers, clocks, bus/rail time tables, notice boards, etc. it looks sick.

Show HN: AI to Find Your Best Dating App Photos
I built a web app that uses a Resnet50 based model to score a photo's quality for dating apps. The app also contextualizes the score by showing how your photo scored compared to other users and giving feedback on how the photo can be improved.

The feedback function uses deep learning models to identify the presence of certain characteristics in a user's photos to tell them how to improve, or what's good about the photo.

There is a sign up component (sorry about that!). Would love any feedback on how to improve the product, market it, etc. Thank you!

It’s not unreasonable.

The thing is every time you load company proprietary code and/or sensitive data you better make sure you don’t hit the share button as well.

Not the end of the world but also something we didn’t have to think about until recently. That pushing a button (other than delete) could potentially get you fired.
I've built tech around this. Spent a ton of time here. It's shockingly good, provided your process of using the LLMs is sound. I had built demo tech to solve the problem of helping candidates improve their answers. Turns out that's a narrow and difficult market to reach.

That said, the workflow and analysis is still live with a demo site:

Have a look at two interview analysis reports. The interviews were actual Q&A from a free coaching call I did. I have a very large video library of mock interviews that I have been using to fine tune and test.
This would imply that congress has unlimited authorirty to regulate anything it chooses, that would be a complete inversion of constitutional purposes which is to limit the power of congress to just a few things.

now over the centuries bad judges making terrible rulings (see Wickard) , and a few poor amendments (17th being one of them) have allowed the federal government to expand well beyond its original limited powers.

Thankfully and mercifully the current Supreme Court seems very willing to put the federal government back into its proper constitutional box... Amazon I am sure is looking to leverage that... As outside the terrible expansion of the Commerce Clause in Wickard does the federal government have any authority to regulate employment in any state... No where other than a massive liberal reading of the commerce clause is that power found in Article 1 Section 8 from which all congressional and federal authority is derived.
> The distributed database needs a coordination system anyway, so it's not an additional point.

Nope! Distributed databases do not necessarily need a "coordination system" in this sense. Most wide-scale distributed databases actually cannot rely on this kind of coordination.

> Did you forget the context over the last week? We're already talking about reserving big chunks to remove the need to make a roundtrip to produce an ID. There would instead be something like one roundtrip per million IDs.

OK, it's very clear that you're speaking from a context which is a very narrow subset of distributed systems as a whole. That's fine, just please understand your experience isn't broadly representative.

and I guess we all use a lot of responsive websites that are minimally web apps in funtionality, even if they did not offer manifest files for standalone mode

I just found out that hover which is a responsive website without mobile apps can be added to home screen ("install") on mobile...

well I tried it and it is on my home screen as a web app! vow!

I mean a web app is not a website you download or install, no need to ask how many are on the home screen...

the real question is web capabilities, we need good web programmers, companies with web strategies to get a lot of powerful websites

it is actually not the most important thing whether you add it to the homescreen or what...

the most important thing is to support the web capabilities with security in mind

it is not a fight against native, it is a choice and competition, freedom, free choices are normally good
This is one of those stories that every single police procedural show on TV/streaming will have some version of in the next production cycle.
Actually, that's not a bad thing. UDP is small enough to have nearly no overhead, but complex enough to let firewalls do their job. Six of the eight bytes in its header would probably be in the header of any transport layer protocol anyways (only the checksum might be unnecessary).

Wikipedia lists over 100 assigned IP protocol numbers [1], and while it would break existing firewalls, adding a new protocol would certainly require less work than the transition from IPv4 to IPv6. But UDP is already simple enough that there's very little benefit in not just building on that.

Imagine chains-of-thought as first class vectors of communication, a formalization of a natural language paragraph. We could use them as frames of debate associated with any item of controversy, or any derived fact. We can patch and fork and merge them to try to make them stronger or debunk them.

In other words these sound like a great way to communicate with each other as well as AI.
Ideally, integration tests should not touch a real database. That would be more of an end-to-end test, that could be actually monitoring.

But mocking things are hard on Rust because of its strong type system, so this project can be useful.
> I perceive no quality/reliability drawbacks in my own code.

How can you be sure that doesn't say more about you than it does about copilot?
Your conversation is interesting to read, factually helpful and a good example of civilized discussion that helps to explore the topic you are discussing from different sides.

I side with your point if pressed to put your perspectives on different ends of a scale. But that's not even needed, as you correctly point out.
There's a huge difference between objective measures and skill sets, and how effective someone is in performing work. This is why leet code tests often fail to truly identify the best talent. Working in teams, problem solving, etc are harder to suss out with leet code test or checkboxes. This is why person to person interviews are so effective (caveat: when performed by trained interviewers who are held accountable by a good process)
i also recall that calibration, being dialed up when friends were likely to come in after a school dance, and the secret "dead product" bin full of fries mostly plus randoms, being shoved through the window, to a car full of friends upon request.
Last time I tried Unity I felt like the web builds were awful... ran super poorly in browser even for a super basic scene and also had some compatibility issues with certain core Unity features. That was 2 or 3 years ago so maybe they've gotten better, but in general I think if you're trying to make web games specifically you should go direct to developing for web instead of using Unity or Godot.
Interesting... but... you know this means to make this work well they are going to start recording EVERYONES screens against their will to get more training data right?

For anyone else who missed the announcement a few hours ago, open-webui is the rebranding of the project formerly known as ollama-webui [0].

I can vouch for it as a solid frontend for Ollama. It works really well and has had an astounding pace of development. Every few weeks I pull the latest docker images and am always surprised by how much has improved.

May be start the manufacturing facility here and start panel manufacturing here itself !!
Many-worlds doesn’t explain the complexity of the standard model at all. It merely gets rid of the arbitrariness and discontinuity implied by wave-function collapse.
Stay away from AMD software, noted.
Honestly I don’t know what reasonable headphone output today has these high output impedances. They’re all class D amplifiers with quite low impedance directly to the power supply. This 1/8th rule is kind of pointless… you just specify output voltage drive at various loads and measure frequency response. Most do this very well. No need to faff about with damping of responses.
Apple pushed compressed disk images (.dmg) early on as the preferred way to distribute software on Mac OS X, so StuffIt wasn't necessary.

Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) introduced native .zip support, and that seems to have largely taken over these days. I wonder how much of that is due to it being easier for CI systems to produce .zip archives rather than DMGs.

I am aware of the reasons why people decided to change it, and I am choosing not to argue about that here. I am, however, insisting that it is a bad metaphor. We all learned it the very first time we opened a git tutorial, so we accepted it as the way things were. But I am old enough to know what we meant by “master” long before git existed. Its meaning was not “a template you can use as a pattern for new work,” or “a branching point that many derivative works have in common.” A “master” is “a pristine original copy you can make many copies of.” Think about it.
Both approaches seem like they wouldn't work with one-way routes? It's relatively rare, but I've worked on IP based telemetry systems with only one way, or highly asymmetric routes. Probably the most fun was tunneling IP from a space capsule, through the international space station's 1553-MIL-STD databus, through Houston, to California.
It's not romanticized, I do it every day. Not everyone responds but that's fine; it still has an effect, and many do respond.

People assume it's not possible, that others are paranoid or bad-willed, and so treat others accordingly or at least don't try. Just try; it works fine. You need to read people and respect them - just basic primate social skill: obviously, some people are busy, upset, etc. and don't want to be bothered. But just trust people are good-willed and friendly, treat them accordingly, and you'll get plenty of good responses. It depends on your mood too; it comes through; if you are angry and trying to be happy, people can sense it - we all have years of experience reading others.

Even crazier is that people will actually argue against it, insisting it can't be true, objecting to anyone doing it or trying it. You have to wonder what that's about; that, I think, is very revealing about our society and some of its social trends.

It is the the time for mini PCs as many have noted it. I am getting one for one of my offices, instead of building or buying a desktop.

I used to build my machines and loved it. Some are still chugging along after over 10 years. They were worthwhile before the mini PCs reaching comparable capabilities at lower cost.

One thing I still cannot seem to find is a good site that compares various vendors in similar fashion as "PC builder" sites do of build components.

Any suggestions?
It depends on what instruction you give. You’re making a lot of wild assumptions.

> they would routinely encounter gas lines, cut them WITHOUT turning off the gas, and keep working

That's still done today, evidently! A few months back, there was a small gas leak in my neighborhood. When they knocked on my door to say they'd be working in the area, the repair crew leader was kind enough to indulge my questions.

I asked them if my gas would be shut off. They said no, they do the work while the gas is still on!

And they must have been cutting into the gas line because they replaced a section that ran under the street. They used a backhoe to dig huge holes on both sides of the street and then fed a flexible pipe through.

Here's a video about something kind of similar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCMs__ZnOfA

I'm sure today's techniques are different and much safer, so I don't think it negates your point that they used to do risky stuff.
I agree with everything in your first comment. But want to extra agree that "pause" is really important. It's impossible to manage a bunch of matches. Focus on one or two and move those along or cut them loose if they're not doing the same.

Your comment about the "No" is probably the hardest of the obvious advice to follow. Casting a wide net just distracts from what you really want - it's hoping for something.
It's slightly different than that.

It's the low "cost" of publishing a job post to various boards, and the low "cost" of applying to jobs that are posted.

The combinatorial math has exploded the number of applicants per position, but the talent pool has not expanded by that much.

The net result is companies are abdicating agency to ATS systems in an effort to filter the "best" resumes.

Candidates are responding by feeling disillusioned by the ghosting, non-responses, and 400 applications within 24 hours to any new job posting.
I don’t know. They are remote positions so there are a lot of geographies that can apply

Is the 100 MB model being downloaded from HuggingFace on Fly too?

I ask this because Fly has immutable Docker containers which wouldn't store any data unless you use Fly Volumes. So it could be that Fly is downloading the 100MB model each time it cold-boots.

If that's the case, a multi-stage Dockerfile could help in bundling the model in, and perhaps reducing cold-boot time even further.
Does anyone who has found a good workflow with copilot have a good resource to share that demonstrates how to get the most out of it?

I really want it to be more useful, but rarely find that it's helpful for completing more than a single line or two.

Do you write out comments for everything you're going to do and then just write it yourself if the suggestion isn't useful?

Is there a trick to getting it to read your code itself across files?
Being good at self promotion is not the same as having interpersonal skills.
Yes, I do think that is fragility. Immutable distros, iOS etc have it right - installing software shouldn’t be able to fuck up the system.

People gotta install from “random repositories” because shit they need is not in official repos, further showcasing the shortcomings of the entire setup and its reliance on maintainers. This derogatory statement only works against your argument, rather than supporting it.
