I don't know what I think about this, probably it's not great. I'm afraid this will hinder smaller developers and enable larger corporations to get ahead just because extra legalize.

Also, why is some stuff unacceptable but acceptable for the government? That seems a bit like censorship to me. The EU is really becoming a large organization that just does random shit that people don't really ask for.

My government still publishes my personal data online for anyone to see, no one seems to care about that. Rules for thee but not for me.
That's a straw man argument, right?
Nop, you can fly safely. Stop worrying
I wasn't referring to your comment, I agree with you.

I've built something similar for my own needs.

What I found lacking in the default i3 possibilities, was going to the previously used window on the same workspace.

My daily driver is a 32" 4k monitor, so many times I end up with one IDE or terminal on the left, and some documentation on the right, both halves visible at the same time.

However, I hate using tabs in the browser, so thanks to a hacky extension, firefox opens a new window per tab, which means that i3 manages firefox' tabs as regular windows.

So, if you have a bunch of windows open, want to see the one in the middle of the bunch, but need to switch between that and the "work" window, there's no easy way to do that from the keyboard.

From the IDE, going right works as expected. But from the browser, going left "changes tabs". You only reach the IDE after you've been through all the other tabs.
Isn't it much more efficient to simply use $mod+num_of_workspace like Alt+1, Alt+2?
Au contraire; imho the article offers several good viewpoints.

But I'm undecided about who/what it says more: MrBeast & his antics, his audience, YT, its audience, other populair platforms & their audience, today's public in general, or how its preferences are changing.

Personally I prefer authenticity, uniqueness. Seek out stuff that's found nowhere else. For which # of views are (mostly?) irrelevant as long as creators & maybe their audience enjoy it.

Perhaps MrBeast is authentic in that way: copycats aplenty, but no-one is doing, or living exactly like him.
computable = expressible as Int -> Int

Hilbert space = set of functions in Real -> Real

geometrical & non-computable = Reals

determinism = g(x, t_future) fully set by g(x, t_now) and g

if you model a geometric, g : Real -> Real with computable, c : Int -> Int then there are gaps at arbitrarily high precisions, say p (eg., p = delta(g, c) at (x, t))

construct a classical system of arbitrarily complexity (eg., 10^BIG interactions), describe each interaction with g. Since 10^BIG are required, "delta(g, c) < BIG" is required in order for the system to remain deterministic (ie., described by g). We can easily find cases where BIG > delta(g, c), so CM would be non-deterministic if g is replaced by c.

As for QM, these "gaps" are cause much deeper contradictions with premises of QM.

If you replace wavefunctions, g, with computable ones, c then they dont sum to solutions of the wave-eq, so QM fails to be linear (the detla(g,c) are massive because hibert space is infinite-dim).

Now it might be that reality is really computable in the sense that there's some c which can replace g, but this would violate the assumptions of physics and has no motivation. Physics might be wrong, but there's no evidence of that.

There are also other issues, but these are just two off the top of my head.

Refences: Look for physical church-turing, church-turing thesis, non-det and det in chaos theory, non-det in classical mechanics, physical interpretations of the reals -- this will be in postgrad work, it wont be in popsci books.
But does the *Federal* gov have to ID citizens? Why can't that be the responsiblity of the states? We keep assuming that a massive top-heavy and easily corruptable Fed gov is the only option. It's not.

Prompt IDE
Hello everyone! I'm working on an new tool called Prompt Mixer that helps you build, test, and iterate on AI prompts right from your desktop.

With Prompt Mixer, you can chain together prompts with different models and connections to create complex workflows. And the best part - it keeps track of prompt versions and variations, so you can always go back to what worked.

I'd love any feedback, feature requests, or general thoughts you have! Does a prompt IDE sound useful? What kind of tools do you find yourself needing when working with AI models? Let me know in the comments!

no, they shouldn't, this will affect customers who already purchased the product and have no fault in this silly war that apple wants to start. no matter what they do, it should only apply to new devices.
From my Internet goggles, it seems like home solar panels is common for single family homes in Aus. It might also be that installation is more competitive, thus cheaper. Or planning and fees are lower.

Very nice (though hardly approachable unless you already have a good handle on, say, eigenvalue decomposition, outer products = rank 1 matrices, positive semi-definiteness, etc.).

NB: I think many of these linear algebra proofs would benefit (in terms of legibility) if the dimensions of the matrices/equations were annotated beneath them. (I created a LaTeX macro for my master's thesis to do just that.)

Impossible.

I briefly lived in a country with censorship and the difference is substantial. A corporation can't put you in jail for writing bad things about it.
I think these parts are relevant, it will be very nice to get this for LLM and image generators:

This means that now if an article was generated by LLM they are legally required to disclose that.

There are at least two Java bytecode compilers. Though javac is obviously the "reference", there is also egc. It's used primarily by IDEs and editor plugins (like Eclipse, from whence it came, and the RedHat Java plugin for VS Code).

Still, if memory serves there have been a handful of cases where egc's implementation of the spec differed from javac's with resulting fixes in javac itself (though I don't have sources at hand, so perhaps I misremember).
How do we prevent humans from wholly relying on/trusting AI in systems that the world's stability relies on.

That to me is the biggest 'unacceptable risk'. A human putting a system we don't fully understand in charge of a critical process.

They’re becoming more popular in general aviation. Cirrus introduced them 10 to 20 years ago for their GA airplanes.

I think you're confusing two things. "create a more modern solution" is not the same statement as "rewrite it in rust". The later implies "make the same software in a new language", the former suggests "create new software because the use cases and problems the software solves have changed".

The software was initially released 20 years ago. It was designed in an era where most http requests served static assets and html w/o js, and https was for special situations like banks and order forms. At that time multicore CPUs were just emerging, and servers still shipped with 1Gb ethernet. JSON was a quirky idea, php was king, and Gmail was shaking up web-dev with this funky new Ajax thing[1].

Point being, things have changed - these days there are a lot of situations where you wouldn't even consider nginx since it's not the right tool, there are situations where nginx is no longer the easiest component to use and/or deploy, there are situations where it's a giant hassle to maintain an nginx deployment compared to tools written for a "servers are cattle" world.

Put another way, the web was 13 years old and the internet was a little over 30, and both had really only gotten big over the previous decade. If we were talking aviation, it would be arguing to retrofit the best fighters from WW1 on the dawn of WW2 or asking why we can't just strap jet engines on a DC3.

nginx has been an amazing bit of software and a solid workhorse getting us here. But more and more people are looking at other solutions, because the problem to solve isn't the problem nginx was designed for. That's ok - the world changes all the time.

Software isn't done, we haven't even had computers for a hundred years. Heck we haven't even finished figuring out all the ways to use computers yet. I'm leary of any claim that we fully solved some aspect of it, and more so when the claim is applied to tech from the early days of that field.

[1] it wasn't new new, but this was the first time most people really started to grasp what you could do on the web with javascript.
"the seeds only being able to grow successfully in full sun and in mineral-rich soils, free from competing vegetation. Although the seeds can germinate in moist needle humus in the spring, these seedlings will die as the duff dries in the summer. They therefore require periodic wildfire to clear competing vegetation and soil humus before successful regeneration can occur" (Wikipedia)

They need fire and sun. (And maybe also cold winters).
Britain does not have that.
That's a problem of Republicans making things up, though. Criminal accusations are apparently free speech.
Show HN: Thinkbuddy – AI Assistant to Avoid Subs Costs of Multi Chatbots (macOS)
Hey HN,

I wanted to share my first work for the world of desktop software, Thinkbuddy, our AI-powered assistant for Macs. We’ve been heads-down building it in Flutter, which, against the grain for a Mac app, presented unique challenges. Flutter’s not native to macOS, so we spent nights bridging with Swift, wrestling with UI intricacies, questioning our life choices, and resisting the Electron siren call – all in the name of efficient resource use.

We’re committed to an optimized macOS experience without the overhead typical of cross-platform solutions. We’ve been iterating on a SwiftUI-like feel, with less memory footprint than Electron could offer.

Thinkbuddy’s not just another chat service. It’s a testament to what Flutter can achieve on desktop, especially when paired with powerful models (just included Groq, and soon Opus). We’re adding new ones regularly, aiming to provide a solid alternative to pricey subscriptions.

This project began with a lucky find when I was searching for a ChatGPT app and stumbled upon a location-based chat app created by Ufuk. That discovery led to an unexpected but fruitful collaboration. Now, we’re excited to hear what the HN community thinks about Thinkbuddy, our first joint effort.

Take it for a spin: https://thinkbuddy.ai

Would love to hear your technical takes, UI/UX advice, or any Flutter on Mac experiences you’d like to share.

Thanks, HN!

Indeed, you can run queries in a sheet, but

1. It's writing a query in a single row cell which is hard from a UX perspective
2. SheetSQL offers you a way to cross join sheets as if those where tables, even between worksheets, which is something that is not supported natively
3. Full DuckDB SQL support, so you can use advanced functions like PIVOT or window functions

> Presumably some human has mastered the art of “accurately representing black or mixed hair without it turning into a caricature”

There absolutely are good examples, yes, and I think you're right that the failure of capturing it is largely down to volume in the extant datasets, and particularly in datasets that provide a direct match for the type of line-art colouring in style, which is in itself fairly dated.

I agree with all of your recommendations. I think it's definitely a problem that will be solved. The main thing is for people to get used to looking for it.
And this is just the iceberg for the beginning of conversation.

No one cares to watch the experts presented that aren't on the "CO2 is evil" bandwagon, nor then actually spending the time to counter their many arguments of these complex issues.

I don't understand yet why no one has created a "Wikipedia" for various organizations to list and offer their counter-argument for the 1000s of different talking points, so then everyone can view them in a matrix/table format - not only for the climate issue and climate alarmism, but for other complex issues such as the Israel-Palestine "conflict".

P.S. There's no life in the ocean that grows from CO2, and that then fish et al eat?

"Through photosynthesis, phytoplankton consume carbon dioxide on a scale equivalent to forests and other land plants."

"There are a billion billion billion phytoplankton in the world's oceans—more than there are stars in the sky. Phytoplankton are hugely diverse, with likely 100 thousand different species."
TBH I find that a visual of what the window looks like helps a ton. I just ran that to see what it did, and all it gives is the text of the window title.
Someones conspiracy theory is someone else's truth. And often they become everyone's truth after some time, see the lab leak theory for a recent example. This is the internet, you don't get to control what others say and still get to speak your own mind. I assume you don't need to back your claims up, am I right? Just dropping the magic words is enough.

I hate that word with a passion, it's used as the one and only argument to shut down discussion. Did you know that Google recently changed their terms to allow to censor results during "special events" or some bullshit like that? Big-tech trying to control the narrative is not a conspiracy theory, it's in the open.

If you don't have the attention span to argue your point or ask for an elaboration just move on. We are in the comment section for the discussion not for validation from the hive mind, right? Am I expecting too much from HN?

Maybe? I wouldn't say there was any straw man argument here honestly. More just that they misunderstand issues regarding climate change. They think that people are saying that climate change is causing deforestation, and arguing against that. That's pretty easy to confuse with what people are actually trying to raise awareness of, which is that deforestation is leading to climate change (those same plants that thrive off the additional CO2 in the atmosphere can't do so if the additional CO2 in the atmosphere is there because they're already dead before they can take it out of the atmosphere).
The Wikipedia page says that in the wild they usually require wildfires to clear the land and allow the sequoias' seeds to germinates, and the seeds are also fussy:

"Although the seeds can germinate in moist needle humus in the spring, these seedlings will die as the duff dries in the summer. They therefore require periodic wildfire to clear competing vegetation and soil humus before successful regeneration can occur. Without fire, shade-loving species will crowd out young sequoia seedlings, and sequoia seeds will not germinate". [1]

If you want highly educated people to have children, incentivize them to. If it is so easy to convince them not to have kids, the incentives provided (if any) suck even though "our sustained quality of life depends on children from these people." Clearly, there is a price value disconnect. Society must pay up if these children are so valuable. The evidence is that they are not, based on the environment people of childbearing age are currently operating in.

> Apple doesn't actually care about safety and security, when in fact Web Distribution is more secured than Marketplace distribution.

That's a contradiction in logic there. If they cared for security, they would choose the more secured option. But they didn't?

Either they then have provided worse security all along: web distribution could have offered more security than an app store?
Or they could have provided even better security in their app store all along: if they implemented this stricter checking there. Why not?

These arguments are poor and don't stand up to scruteny.

The very simple conclusion is that it's not about security, that it never has been.
