> that I ended up not doing (T-Mobile 5G small business internet can give you a static IP for $3/month, but only if you setup your account with an EIN, but I had some big issues with connecting the equipment to my LAN on the 'sole proprietor' account, and then major service issues returning everything, so I'm kind of done with them for a while)

I guess this proves my (and OP's) point: you tried to self-publish on the Internet without using the "cloud" and to do that you needed to jump a lot of hoops and, in the end, you didn't even succeed.
An interesting advantage of Guix over Nix is having better options for runtime isolation. Nix is not well developed in this area yet, although one can always use bwrap or AppArmor to implement something ad hoc.

Besides, Guix uses Scheme everywhere, whereas Nix is a mix of the Nix language and lots of shell code. The Nix language is a pretty elegant lazy functional language, and yields very compact and clean code. But if you want to do complex things, Scheme might be easier.
I think any challenges to this bill on Constitutional grounds would likely fail due to Congress' powers to regulate interstate commerce, to which SCOTUS has been pretty deferential.
I think forcing a sale of TikTok is fine -- after all China effectively does the same thing for all US companies in China.

But H.R. 7521 gives power to handle more than TikTok. (g)(3)(B) [1] certainly looks to me like it can be used by any President to pressure or outright censor many foreign sites and apps.

> when this was a primarily agrarian country

it sounds ironic, but much of the shift to suburban development patterns in the USA was indeed driven by the Great Migration into cities – specifically, the migration of formerly-enslaved Black Americans out of the rural south and into cities. US public policy was very explicit about disinvesting in cities and destroying vibrant urban neighborhoods, replacing them with freeways and parking lots.

today, large portions of US cities are zoned for exclusively single-family homes, and other zoning requirements like parking minimums, and minimum setback and lot sizes continue to slow urban, transit-oriented redevelopment.
Hi HN,

We've had enough of traditional orchestration frameworks. That's why we created dispatch.run, aiming to streamline coding by integrating resilience more naturally.

The core of our solution? Distributed Coroutines. These aren't your typical tools; they're designed to enhance flexibility and reduce complexity in distributed systems.

We've detailed our approach and the potential of Distributed Coroutines in a new blog post. It's about making development smoother and more intuitive.

Let's discuss the future of distributed computing.
What is 'wrong' with this? Academics at these research labs are still doing academic work, including teaching and mentoring colleagues. The main 'issue' is likely that some college administrator is not getting their cut.

Oh pity the poor colleges... how will they fund their over-the-top, debt-financed facilities and football teams?
Yeah would almost certainly be ITAR controlled no way core tech like this gets outsourced.
> First, this bill isn’t actually aiming to ban TikTok. It really wants to force ByteDance to sell TikTok to someone else who is not controlled by China

Is the US chinaphobic or something? Because they have a good relationship in terms of trade. I'm always reminded of the irony of 'Boycott China' T-Shirts being manufactured in China. As long as the US is the buyer, there's no beef.
That's not even remotely the same. That's more equivalent of banning the installation of tiktok on government phones, which should be considered normal for security reasons. Apple is still able to freely operate in China otherwise.

And your other articles don't have anything to do with Apple being banned, but rather that Huawei's new phone is now able to compete with Apple sales, despite US trying to destroy Huawei.

You know all those beautiful touch screens we see in sci fi and games:

https://i.imgur.com/NbAZrg7.jpeg

Make the AI understand what the human inputs are required with what interaction modality - what the interaction represents as well as what important feedback from your system should be shown and have it arrange interfaces like this that are actually meaningful and work - and let it be such that if a user doesnt like it - tell the AI to remix it - or have the user customize it by picking the control he wants and then DRAWING it on the screen in whatever ergo he likes... and AI does all the NODE-ing in the background.

So all the CGI bs we see in games and movies on these beautiful panel interfaces can be a reality but also as flexible as could be.

So talk to it and tell the ai to do your bidding, but with an added intellegence in the elements to actually work, make the AI carry the load.
Yep, the problem with the software wasn't the implementation, it was the spec: to operate contrary to the expectations and experience of pilots.

The problem was that they didn't outsource the design spec. I doubt an externally developed design would be so contrary, with a flippant we'll document it and include it in the short brush up training.
You can. But that still doesn't tell you if you've had COVID. Antibodies wane overtime and you can also test positive for antibodies after having had a vaccine. So even if you have been taking antibody tests every couple of weeks year now, you could have contracted it before the tests were available (it was about a year before they were publicly available in much of the US), or after a vaccination.
China is not only a dictatorship, but a market that is closed or highly restricted to most US businesses. Free trade isn't an option if the US wanted it.
Not just in China. China is maybe the most interesting point of comparison with big cities in the US, though, since its cities are both much denser than most AND more sprawling than most.

And I don't follow your second question. If the trains OR freeways are full of people who can't afford to live closer to their jobs and have hours-long commutes, isn't that bad? And if it can happen even with extensive public transit, what does that tell us about fundamental assumptions about "city should grow forever, number must always go up!"?
Reciprocity in this case is supposed to mean "We allow your companies in as long as they follow the local laws, and you will allow our companies in as long as they follow the local laws." TikTok is following American law, which is significantly more permissible in terms of speech than China.

American social media giants thought it was too damaging to follow Chinese law and voluntarily retreated (Google), played the game until they got burned (Facebook) or silently comply (Bing/Microsoft).

In the case of Facebook, they didn't want to share data on Uighur separatists, who organized protests on Facebook, which in turn left hundreds of people dead. Barring any kind of moral judgment, this obviously wouldn't fly in the US either.

No, at the core of this issue is the realisation that a social media giant has enormous influence on the minds of the next generation, and having this be in the hands of foreign powers is very dangerous. Of course, the US doesn't want to be super open about this, since 4/5 global players in social media are American, and they'd rather not have other regions get similar thoughts.

In the end, the reasoning is sound while the justification is hypocritical.
This isn't a bad submission but it doesn't qualify as a Show HN because it is more of a list/curated site than something that can be played with interactively. See https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html. I've taken "Show HN" out of the title now.
> House
House Resolution 7521, dubbed the “Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act,” passed the U.S. House Of Representatives on a bipartisan 352-65 vote today.

352-65, that's what our congress thinks of free speech. Who's next after we set the precedent?
Of course, this is also part of driver training in Germany. But the engine braking on EVs makes brakes only necessary for emergency braking if you're not driving like a maniac. With ICE engines you still need the brakes a lot more. Especially downhill.
If American democracy goes down because of "foreign influencers" from platforms like TikTok then it means that it wasn't all that strong to begin with.
Actually yes they do more than just prevent building, they were also implemented to keep "undesirables" out of more affluent areas by making it too expensive for them. This is covered extensively in the book The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein, and is a great read.

Specifically:

- Huge min lot sizes

- Offsets

- Covenants*

We can start by removing/revising those.

(*Certain covenants are no longer enforceable today)

If this is true, AIPAC is a greater foreign threat than TikTok. Maybe we should ban AIPAC instead.
> Doesn't first ammendment protect even that.

Nope. The first amendment protects the speech of US citizens and only to a certain extent. This is why the US has a torture center in Guantanamo. To avoid issues of constitutional rights.

This is also, btw, what allows the CIA and NSA to spy on data you send overseas in violation of the 4th amendment.

US laws are geographically bound.

This is how it has always been in automotive.

~15 years ago in automotive, juniors making 60-80k/yr. Most engineers were making a nice 100k+/yr. Experts making ~20-60k more. Top of field can make your 300k+ with consulting.

Academia? Oof, 40k/yr starting, never breaking 90k.

Your best talent basically goes to industry due to the forces of capitalism. The 22 year olds getting masters/PhDs were seen to be the failures who didn't get a job.

Now if you talk to the people in Academia, their prestige was well worth the cost of living on an assembly line worker's wage.
As an American, this bill must die.

If we want to compete, then we need to do that. Investment not protection is the path forward. Protectionist ideas dont save any one, they just let shitty or inferior products flourish.

catskul2's comment was very ambiguous, but a charitable interpretation of the first part

> non-political is political. Do you imagine that there aren't people making political TikToks?

is that you are indeed in a filter bubble of non-political content which exists alongside political content. One example of political content on TikTok within the larger Israel-Hamas war topic was the brief trend of commenting on Osama bin Laden's manifesto called "Letter to America" [1]. If you were (not saying that you are) knowingly ignoring the existence of political content on a specific topic on TikTok, then you would be making an inherently political decision (which does not mean that you should change your decision).

> By the first I mean the continued destruction of smaller towns and semi-rural areas.

Self-destruction. They are not victims.
In general the one regular report I hear from academics is that it was a waste of their time in the first place and that they would have been better off spending those two-six years in industry anyway. Academia is a fucking scam.
The universities have decided instead of paying professors the solution is to hire layers and layers of bloated administration.
Both, I suppose. From some of the things I've read about crimes related to minors over the years, I usually at least was heartened to see the people responsible were often arrested in a relatively timely manner. Pedophilia-related crimes seemed like ones that saw regular attempts at prosecution or even arrests. But now it's to the point where it's the internet trying to cooperate and the police is woefully slow.
> eschewing all self-reliance

that's the thing though, the suburban/rural individual house lifestyle is a a bit of a cosplay self-reliance - it's completely dependent on someone else providing you with staggering quantities of fossil fuels
I can think of a whole set of things academia could change to attract more talent, and most of it wouldn't even cost much on the part of the university aside from professors and administration having to take accountability for various toxic behaviors of the department.
>> There is zero difference between Instagram Reels and TikTok garbage.

> Demonstrably false.

Ageeed.

I put Reels on the bottom of the short content platforms - TokTok, Shorts, then Reels.

If you haven't used these platforms a lot, you wouldn't be able to tell a difference. Reels is boring. Everything it shows me, no matter how much I use it, always sucks. I lose interest in minutes. Shorts is decent but mostly just marketing for a channels main brand, but still gets boring after a little use or I'm back in the main tab. TikTok - where did the time go?

TikTok Live is also quite unique, never before I have I experienced other peoples lives so up close and (politely) invasively. Such a strange feeling seeing some family in India making clay cups, or the (Eastern European?) tile guy grinding for hours, or the loading dock somewhere where people are sliding massive blocks of ice around, or the Australian DJ on his balcony - while I'm across the world laying in bed at 3am.
> if it's light traffic do you really think they're going to notice and take issue with it?

Right, but this means that you can do anything you want as long as it's inconsequential; it's when it starts to matter that it becomes very difficult without relying on the cloud.
You can use indexeddb today on apple devices to enable some offline functionality.

Calling people a troll? Are you a child?
>>This one REALLY grinds my gears. "Well the study said that masks don't work". No, it fucking didn't. It said they couldn't prove they worked given the data and quality of data they had.

So you admit people were calling for mask-wearing with no evidence. Sounds like we agree.

>>Things can work and still not be provable--especially when the experiment involves human beings since morally we can't just create two groups and infect one.

You don't have to infect one. Just see which one gets infected. This happens all the time with vaccine etc testing of have thought.

>>Basically, what all of these studies manage to prove is that
the general population has enough non-compliant dipshits that active interventions don't work at the population level

It sounds like we're pretty much in agreement here as well. Unless you have some magical solution to ensure perfect adherence.

Of course, you may be super-diligent as an n=1 and nobody ever sneezes on you without warning or anything and you stay free of a disease the CDC says should be treated like the flu.

And the other name for "non-compliant dipshits" is "children".
I agree that PBS and NPR aren't state-owned, but there surely needs to be a third option between state-owned and independent when they get funding from that source. Economic incentives can be some of the most powerful incentives and need to be clearly acknowledged.
Game AI already had the problem of too tough opponents two decades ago. Nobody (OK, outside Rainbow Six players) is going to play a game where AI demolishes any player within (milli)seconds.

This feels like a PR stunt.

It generates controversy so more people will listen to the interview on the X platform, and Lemon gets credit for appearing like a serious, uncompromising journalist that asks tough questions.
It's impossible to explain this qualitative difference in life to somebody who hasn't experienced it.

When the outside environment is attractive, apartment living is glorious. When the outside is gnarly (e.g. no amenities, bad neighbors, ...), apartment living is hell.

There's a weird tipping point, where all the negatives of living in an apartment evaporate. But it's hard to put it into numbers. You just "know", experience it.

Similar for houses, there's a weird tipping point where all the negatives of a home just congeal, and it's a drag and anchor, and the house starts to own you more than the other way around.
Rough guess: mid 1980s

4004 from the 1970s used 2300 transistors, so it would have needed to sell billions.

Pentium from 1990s had 3M transistors, so it could hit our target by selling a million units.

I'm betting (without much research) that the Pentium line alone sold millions, and the industry as a whole could hit those numbers about 5 years earlier.
I remember reading this story a few years ago and realizing that the engineer who maintained it, a guy named Brady, was the same guy who ran my school FIRST robotics team back in 1998-2000. What a guy.

Speaking as someone who might end up on the receiving end of one of those calls: please don't.

Robo-dialers with low-paid humans to handle the call once the recipient answers up are already terrible, replacing the human with an AI sounds exponentially worse.

> If I can walk less than a mile to a theatre and pay $10 to watch a movie on a giant screen, I won't want to pay $10k to create a home theatre.

What theater are you used to that lets you pick what's shown for $10, vs just a dozen or two movies at once?

> If I can get food from around the world by walking 10 minutes to 20+ restaurants, I won't want to pay $20k to have an 800 sq.ft. kitchen.

What restaurants are you going to where it's cost-effective to eat every meal out instead of doing some of your cooking at home?

> If I can entertain my guests at a community center or beer garden, I won't need to have a $15k patio and outdoor bar area.

What community center are you going to where there's never scheduling conflicts or events? Where you can choose your own landscaping and plants to grow, and do whatever hobbies you want? Where your pet can bask in the sun all day?

Get a bigger imagination about why people want personal space!

(You might also be suprised by how many people in the US can already drive <=10minutes to all the things on your list - and wouldn't see that as a big hindrance compared to walking - and STILL get versions of them in their own home too, to point at some existing evidence to the contrary.)
It's hard to feel bad for universities when they've always taken whatever money they've had and hired layers and layers of bureaucracy instead of paying professors.
The article points out a range of tradeoffs for mass timber (and I'm not arguing that mass timber should by itself solve the construction cost issue - it's more interesting as one more very different direction). More directions will be helpful for finding more cost effective solutions for different buildings.

For one thing mass timber allows far more floors than current "5 over 1" construction - because of better fire behavior. In current cities that is certainly a useful feature. At least in cities that do grant construction permits...

That should be helpful even in cities that grant ENOUGH construction permits for that to influence unit affordability.
> What are the technical merits of Guix compared to Nix?

It doesn't boot on non-libre hardware.

In all seriousness, it uses Lisp. That is a _substantial_ advantage over Nix - which uses a home-grown language. As you can see from the front page today, there is roughly a million Nix-wrappers addressing the issue that people don't want to learn nixlang.
Federal Taxes tend to be easier than state taxes. First of all, there is no nonsense of partial residencies to consider, which gets even more messy when you and your spouse have spent time in two different states.

Additionally some states (I am looking at you CA and NY) are absolutely rabid when it comes to coming after you for what they deem is their share. They will keep hounding you for years after you have moved away from the state. NY in particular enforces a withholding on additional income that's more than the maximum state tax rate, which effectively means that they get millions of dollars of interest-free loans from their taxpayers.

Plus community property laws make calculations even more messy.
Just an observation: Essentially anyone who works for a significant amount of time on an open source project, wants some way to earn money from it.

I agree with your point in general and dislike political drama which is often a headache, but people are starving and dying and being held hostage out there... so I don't really think this is the time where that sentiment is appropriate.

Some decades from now, a gesture like this might be seen as similar to Bram's fundraising for Uganda (Vim's start-up screen) which is worthy of appreciation too. Most likely, a negative reaction to this is because it's an emotionally charged topic in the news and on social media.
Lots of people nervous about no longer being number 1, so they manufacture a narrative of conflict which, as you point out, has nothing to do with reality.
