Supporting as many devices as possible, breaking RESTful APIs, etc.

A JS engine pre-supposes many, many things (too many) about a client, stuff like implicit assumptions that "this device has enough power and bandwidth to process my <insert length> javascript, perform appropriate security checks on it, handle this fast enough to service other requests in a timely manner, and also not take over the user's entire computer".

Accessibility means you should presume the least number of things possible. There's no sound, no visuals, no powerful cpu (maybe there isn't even a cpu), the device is the only working device from 20 years ago performing some critical function (e.g. government poverty assistance), there's only a couple minutes of power left, the internet is not available currently or quickly, etc.

You should never assume you have JS, period, and features should gracefully degrade in the presence of JS engines.
There were also reports about rising extremism because of Youtube, it was discussed many times here. Also, do I have to remind of the state of Twitter? Wasn't Facebook involved in an actual genocide[0]? Maybe its just the society evolving and engagement based algorithms accelerating it?

As I said, I don't see political content on TikTok but that's probably due to my engagement patters. People who are into these things, they likely see as much as they like.

I do agree that social media can be a danger to the society though.
IMHO, the solution to this shouldn't be suppression of speech or tune algorithms to favor any politics. After all, the world is never simple as the good vs the evil, even though every party tries really hard to depict themselves as the good ones.

I think we would be better off with enforcing transparency. I would love if EU made TikTok open its algorithm and enforce review on the data that the algo runs on.

That's probably physically impossible for a charged-particle beam (like electrons). It would defocus itself from its own self-interaction, as well as from interaction with intervening magnetic fields.

On this theme: we know several types of natural, astrophysical accelerators of charged particles—but none of those are observed as a localizable source of charged particles, from the perspective of astronomy. We just see secondary photons.
A lot of effort is currently put into tracking missile launches and predicting ballistic trajectories. The goal is to give some warning if a nuclear strike is launched.

It would be obvious if a strike came from an extraterrestrial source, there would be no terrestrial launch detection.

In addition, such a attack is unlikely to succeed. It would take a long time to arrive on earth and by the time the result of the attack was known there could be angry Earthlings counterattacking.

does it help with working memory issues? Or it just makes you focused and work for longer periods of time?
TLDR; I prefer the Erlang syntax. Since I use Erlang VM for hobby / side projects, it's easier for me to come back to after some time away.

You can't go wrong. Inevitibly, which every you start with, you'll learn both.

My personal journay started with learning Elixir. I soon discovered that I was reading Erlang docs, encountering Erlang stack traces, and using many fantastic Erlang lirbaries. I decided I wanted to be build stronger Erlang experience and havn't looked back.

I still create Elixir projects from time to time, especially to leverage Ecto (for databases). Also, on my todo list is to play with the Phoenix (web framework) project.

I'm suspect my journey is rather common, I see Elixir developers comfortable with Erlang and vice-versa. Though, I'm sure each has a perference like a dominant hand. You'll find yours as you explorer this fantastic technology.
"Between 75 percent and 80 percent of children with ADHD will see improved symptoms with the use of stimulants such as Adderall."

So yes.
Combo Heat pump washer+dryers also just made a huge technical advancement as well, not requiring any ventilation to run, meaning you can put them anywhere in your home with a water line - eg in an unventilated hallway closet with far less risk of fire (dryers cause 92% of house fires). And they use less water and energy per load than a typical washer/dryer.
>the most obvious negative outcome would be the loss of whatever the capacity was doing to begin with.

As long as VC is lighting money on fire on obviously stupid ventures like Juciero and subsidizing Uber/Lyft rides to far below cost for a decade, NFTs, and transparent frauds like FTX, it's hard to get worked up about government deciding to make sure our basic national security needs are covered.

VC has not proven themselves to be paragons of free private market efficiency for the past decade.
It greatly frustrates me that many AMD desktops have broken sleep/suspend modes.

I moved & started actually paying my power bill, and I really wouldn't mind my desktop's 100w draw if I could effectively suspend it and wake-on-lan it as needed (for either remote gaming, or to hop back into an existing tmux session). But if I suspend it, it goes down maybe ok, but never wakes up; I literally have to unplug it to get it back.

The various threads about give me the sense that I am far from the only one here with these kinds of issues. I tried windows, I tried turning on every wakeup I could find in the bios, I tried turning on every wakeup I could find in Linux. There's two different sleep modes, tried that. I wouldn't mind having lost like 8 hours of time to this issue, except I feel like I'm nowhere; no suspend, no tools to see what is or isn't happening. And it seems very prevalent on AMD. Frustrating.
I think "basic implementation of compare by object" is actually not that simple. Either you need to be able to provide an equality function and hashcode function (for efficiency) or some generic comparison which is useful only for a subset of cases, potentially very slow and brittle.
The world also existed before capitalism and office jobs, when people who were nuerodivergent could still reliably contribute to society and their talents even be beneficial. We now have a system where those who can focus the longest and grind the hardest are the ones rewarded. Anyone else is either mediocre or worse, at risk of being able to provide for themselves because no other method of work is considered nearly as valuable.
Which calls into question the actual point. Perhaps species as a category is too fine-grained.
This is a great series of posts. I get so used to the erlang environment I forget to share the cool bits because they become normal
Leto II is the only person to get this joke.
Overcorrecting after eons of patriarchal dominance is expected and not necessarily a bad thing IMHO. In some countries (e.g. Sweden), prioritising a certain gender over another for research funding is explicit (and widely accepted) public policy.
Shouldn’t affect EV sales. People will buy them because of the cost savings……… right?
Interest on national debt as % of GDP: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYOIGDA188S
I don’t care about the karma, but “humor punishment” seems an apt term and it’s kinda disappointing.
Agreed. It's kind of hard to swallow the concern of how a statistical algorithm might simulate suffering due to lack of tasks, over concern for the people it's putting out of work.

Yes, I realize this is about "conscious" machine intelligence. But we don't even know what consciousness is, let alone how to mitigate suffering in the consciousnesses we do know of.

This approach assumes no suffering on the part of consciousness that has its memory wiped. How would that work for people? "Eliminate suffering by wiping out painful memories!" In other words, they stole plot points from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind but made it a) for machines, and b) forced. That seems like it's asking for a whole different class of problems doing that to conscious entities. There's got to be some other way to address locked-in machines.
What if we had cognitive performance enhancers that were deleterious to your health? Let's say they made you twice as smart but cut your lifespan in half. You might not choose to take them. But others would. And now you find yourself functionally retarded compared to those people. Think about how many advantages they get in hiring and personal success for their Faustian bargain. You might just cave and start doing them yourself. And then say even more powerful ones come along -- these make you four times as smart but are even worse for your body. Everyone just game theoretically spirals into the most extreme Faustian bargains.

That's a dystopian concept I've never seen explored anywhere.

Except sports, where the government steps in and makes sure that doesn't happen. ;)
There's almost no overlap between VC and anything involving sheet metal. In fact the way manufacturing events never make it out of industry press is a good sign the troubles will need to get very bad indeed before the feedback in the democratic system begins to control them.
holy cow, understanding a simple metaphor is too much to ask?
Could you perhaps modify the iframe to clear the new URL from history using JavaScript?

You could also make it optional; perhaps there'd be syntax like <a href="asdf.html#myElement;no history">...</a> or something.

Probably would be better to make the no history default though.
If they entered the atmosphere stealthily and launched from sea level, then it would appear to be similar to a submarine launched missile.
That was fun! Took all three lifelines for me but I eventually got it, so the difficulty is about right.
Until "recently" it was only crackpots and dictators that even though about controlling social media, by definition -- you were one if you raised concerns. At least how I read the political climate.

I guess it is good that awareness is raised, but I feel it is for the wrong reasons. There can be no major distinction between e.g. Facebook and TikTok.
Led Zeppelin's famous production glitch
That some "work" requires lifelong consumption of a stimulant with a fragile supply chain maybe reflects a deeper problem than any shortage itself.

Why are your coworkers so committed to this work if it suits them so poorly? Are they really unable to perform any work without a drug?

It's a little wild that people would sooner see themselves as "ill" and in need of $xx/mo of side effects and shortages for the rest of their lives than think that maybe the expectations they've put on themselves aren't right.

Maybe the work is not a good suit for them. Maybe their lives are structured poorly. Maybe your whole industry or social class is broken and is demanding more from people than they can deliver without drugs. A shortage is a really good opportunity to look more closely at those possibilities, especially the last one.
> Insurance companies would be happy to not be squeezed, if some sort of regulation was made to prevent squeezing it would be nice.

Insurance companies are bound by ACA profit caps where 80% of revenue has to go to “medical claims”. This leads to a perverse situation where their theoretical maximum profit is tied to higher cost of services. If they’re at that limit and actually negotiated lower prices, they’d be in violation of those (perverted) profit caps.
Is Buying*

* Pending the feds allowing this to go through

There has been enough antitrust scrutiny in recent years where I am very interested to see how far this goes. There's a very real chance the sale won't complete and 6 months from now nothing will have changed.
I have noticed that a lot of people I follow on instagram who use tiktok all adopt the exact same opinion of $CONTROVERSIAL_TOPIC at roughly the same time.
I'm curious, do you personally buy any goods or services? It seems like the logical conclusion to this kind of thinking is to just not ever purchase or use anything.
I'm doing something similar with Obsidian daily notes[^1]. I also have a weekly note that I use to plan the next week.

Similar to how the author talks about scheduling their next day the evening before, I've started planning the big tasks for next on Friday afternoon, as this gives me momentum on Monday morning.

Related: I've found the 3/3/3 technique from Oliver Burkeman[^2] and the concept of open and closed lists to be a great complement for this type of organization. It hits the sweet-spot of flexibility and consistency for me.

Assuming the US legislature hasn't been almost completely broken since 2010, there are really just 3 solutions to the country's ballooning debt:

1. Increase taxes (a no-go for Republicans)
2. Default (a no-go for everyone)
3. Reduce spending, probably entitlements and not military (Republicans would love this; Democrats would whinge)

Option 3 is the most likely to occur if the legislature was able to get its act together.

None of this would stop the decline of the USD as world's reserve currency. With the ongoing political chaos in the US, countries are wise to diversify.
Flowers for Algernon already did it.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Today's is a quirky one that some people will solve at a glance and others will have to stare at for awhile. Personally I'm terrible at my own puzzle and would also have needed the lifelines.
When Are Lexer Modes Useful? (2017)
Here we are taking our adderall and posting on HN. Makes total sense.
AFAIK, the most popular answer is to give it an electrical charge.

I really don't know how are you supposed to maintain that change long-term. But then, it's similar to the problem of deciding whether the emissions from the black hole are particles that you can focus around, so I guess it's an open problem.
Using math and data to reveal why societies collapse, and clues about the future
Not only is talent everywhere, but opportunity is everywhere too - it just takes different forms and the resources necessary to capture that opportunity are not evenly distributed. I live in small town America. We have a ton of opportunity here, but there's no question that the labor, capital, and similar resources needed to unlock that opportunity is far more challenging to gather here than it would be in large coastal cities. Similarly, there are talented people here - for example, we have colleges and a nearby national lab - but keeping those people here and putting them to work is not easy.

How to debug C and C++ programs with rr (2021)
You'd also need Symbol.hashCode, since you wouldn't be able to implement a fast lookup just with equals method.
You can keep operations going while still investigating the company. Imagine if Marathon Oil was discovered to be smuggling crude oil from Russia into their refineries and splitting the difference with Putin so Russia could bypass international sanctions, and an agency completely shut down Galveston Bay and Garyville (the two largest oil refineries in the US) in response - as soon as the news hit, prices for gasoline, propane, LNG, new plastics, etc. would go through the roof and runs on gas stations would begin. The public outrage would be swift and Congress would force whoever shut them down to let them resume operations while the case was underway.

There's no such sympathy for people unable to function without their meds, sadly.
Good idea, but the lack of progression makes the gameplay a bit tedious and not engaging. That is, you guess and it's binary - OK / NOT OK. Nothing changes.

Some sort of progress would be nice, even if it's just a list of past guesses. Perhaps do what Wordle does - show if guessed letters are in the right place or present in the answer.

With regards to lifelines - allow selecting which letter to reveal. Because in today's puzzle case it's obvious that it's --A, so "reveal the last letter" lifeline is basically useless.
If you would've told anyone in the year 2000 that it'd become standard practice to blindly execute programs sent to you by anonymous people you don't know you'd get a lecture on why that's stupid.

But in 2024 it's standard accepted practice. And that standard has made it so browser developers have to literally prevent the user themselves from having control over their browser because it's too dangerous to do otherwise.

The problem with the entire commercial web application ethos, despite it being a perfect fit for for-profit situations, is that it forces the rest of the web stack to gimp itself and centralize itself, CA TLS only, etc, just to keep the auto-code executing people secure. The one horribly insecure user behavior (auto executing random code) takes over from all other use cases and pushes them out.

So, we end up with very impressive browsers that are basically OSes but no longer functions as browsers. And that's a problem. Design your own sites so that they progressively enhance when JS is available. When work requires you to make bad JS sites, do so, but only in exchange for money.
Why was it retired?
Ask HN: AI APIs
Ive seen several SDXL and SD1.5 APIs going for some pretty high rates, as high as .01/img. The lowest I have seen on the market is .0015/img, but I can get them created for under .0008 at scale. Would it be worth attempting to sell my own API or sell to existing APIs at cheap rates?

You also have to be an insider.

If I go to a bar, and overhear a pair of Googlers discussing something secret and overhear it, I can:

1) Trade on it.

2) Talk about it.

Because I'm not an insider. On the other hand, if I'm sleeping with the CEO, I become an insider.

Not a lawyer. Above is not legal advice. Just a comment that the line is much more complex, and talking about a potential acquisition is usually okay (if you're not under NDA).

I recall during the last election cycle I would always see divisive posts from friends on facebook. Facebook has me marked as liberal. I would always see rather inflammatory posts from conservative friends.

What bothered me was that those same friends would post dozens of times a day about non political things, posts that would get a lot of comments and likes. I never saw those posts unless I went directly to their page. Facebook only put their posts on my feed which would be inflammatory.
Can’t wait to get rid of my second car which is still ICE. Actually waiting for it to be fixed (misfire due to injector clog).

Same reason I’m avoiding gas bbq or any other poison like this at home - that shit stinks and works like a horse. It’s so done.
This seems snappy from the US but I doubt someone in say NZ will have a good experience. Going back and forth between the client and the server on every interaction can result in terrible UX.

Users will be happy waiting 1-2 seconds after submitting a form but waiting that much to switch a tab is not gonna fly. Plus there's internet weather etc which might result in unpredictable latencies over long distances.

Yes, you can move the compute layer of your app close to the user in multiple ways. Moving the data to the edge is much harder.
I was giving a pretty dispassionate answer to what I thought was an honest question.

Kind of like "opioid" includes natural opioids (heroin), semisynthetic (oxycodone) and fully synthetic (fentanyl/analogues) all with different pharmacology it's reasonable to lump in the "releasers" (amphetamines) with the "reuptake inhibitors" (alkyl phenidates, cocaine etc)

I mean that ship has already sailed in the form of the "methamphetamine epidemic" but just to be pedantic
AI-Driven Emergency Response
More than 60 years have passed since the creation of 911, and although it has modernized over time, it has fallen far behind current technological advancements. Now the big question is, why not use technological potential for a pillar in our society?
The 911 system is limited by the number of operators available to respond to an emergency.
Studies from the United States demonstrate the inefficiency of this system, in some cities the delay is between 7 and 14 minutes. Interestingly, you can order an Uber or a hamburger faster than a response to a 911 call.
It’s time for an upgrade, isn’t it?
This is where Gedeon AI comes into play. AI has the ability to automatically categorize help requests based on various parameters, such as the nature of the incident, location, and urgency.
Categorization through AI allows for smarter and faster decisions, as technology can analyze large data sets in real time. Therefore, it would not be limited when responding to user requests.
For me it definitely does, it seems like my brain is able to fit more into its "main memory" while focused on a task, whereas without it it seems like I'm "swapping to disk" to put it into computer terms.

I don't take it on the weekends, and I feel a huge difference in my ability to remember what I'm working on around the house.
Have you seen the movie Another Earth (2011)?

That’s the exact plot.

It’s not realistic (space probes would have “seen” the other earth), but does make for an interesting film.

Kind of proves the point. Private capital is more willing to invest in stupid shit that they can convince themselves will 10x than in something worthwhile that probably can't be 10x'd easily, like manufacturing.
You said I was using tautologies as straw men, which is incoherent and suggests you’re not arguing in good faith.

Anyhow, of course entropy correlates to music quality; maximum entropy music is white noise! I’ve even had luck finding interesting jazz musicians from the distribution of key signatures they use—- anything more entropic than the Real Book is a great indicator. Similarly, network entropy makes it easier to identify musicians with a flexible arsenal of riffs. You could adapt it to chord progressions to find unusual reharmonizations in live jazz to study and practice. It could be a helpful regularizer for neural network music generation. Entropic methods are among the most powerful in statistics.
I do it all the time and I don't think it is "unusable". About the only "issue" with it is often that it shrinks the viewport just enough to trigger "mobile" breakpoints in CSS, but for some websites (YouTube, especially) that can be a feature as much as a "bug".
OP uses their calendar as a supplement for their the todo file. There is a lot of functionality implied in that decision:

- calendars have mobile apps which enable quick and precise entry

- calendars understand time spans

- calendars have many options to display events

- calendars have cloud syncing

- calendars are backed by a queryable data store

Not saying using a text file is good or bad, but I think a more accurate title would be “my productivity app is a never ending txt file and a calendar app”
