Nice, this was the push I needed to start reading his book. I really enjoy his podcast and was on the fence about taking it on (thinking I don’t have the brain cells required to soak in the book) but the way you described it makes it seem like a fairly tractable project.
You could provide diff of current tree vs tree after applying your suggested removals? It is more complex than that ?
Yup, the quality in how these programs get upscaled for HD is all over the map. There's a lot of examples of people on Youtube and archive.org who are ripping their personal collections of old content who are doing this, I would say, correctly.

Here's one of my favorite examples of archiving being done "right":

You can't look at them independently. Code generation is not it's own task separate from requirements gathering, Q&A with stakeholders, testing, etc... As we get agents that bring those other factors into the loop of code generation, I feel like code generation itself will get much better. They all are related.
You'd be hard pressed to see this trouble in their quarterly reports.
I get what you are saying, but that is why the Vision Pro is still an over engineered dev kit for a half baked OS.

At least the Meta Quest for example has a lot of content and VR games. The Vision Pro doesn't seem to have much use apart from it curiosity, because such system hasn't been fully built out. It seems like a device that isn't really ready for prime time for a couple of years yet.
Here is one difference: The "velocities" suggested by an expansion of space can be well above the speed of light whereas classical velocities cannot.

Sheep aren't native to the US. Doesn't the entire species threaten the viability and health of native populations because it is competing for resources that native animals could be consuming? I don't see how having a new type of sheep is a step too far.
"Media literacy". Aka, "How to interpret everything through the horse blinders and funhouse lens of the dominant neoliberal ideology of the US ruling class."
The "highly-skilled" assassin is kind of a myth. Most killers-for-hire are idiots.

This is Michael Clayton stuff, but the assassination in the movie is much more "elegant".
Doesn't matter. As it is, "Mozilla is funded by Google" is true. If Microsoft outbid Google, we would say "Mozilla is funded by Microsoft".

We can try to justify one way or another but that's just the current reality.
Just the opposite. Sure, DM was proposed when some observations didn't match predictions, but do you think scientists liked that? Do you think they just accepted it? They did not. No one liked DM, and many people tried to disprove it. How does one disprove DM? You simply assume that it exists, and then make a prediction using that assumption. If the prediction is wrong, that's evidence against DM. What happened is that every time someone made a DM prediction, it turned out to be correct.

Two early cases of this were that if invisible matter exists, there should be gravitational lensing around seemingly empty space, which was then found, and that if if something like dark matter existed before recombination, then a certain pattern should be found in the cosmic microwave background, and a few years after the prediction, sensitive enough equipment was deployed that could see enough detail in the CMB, and the prediction turned out correct.

Today there's something like a dozen such predictions that have come true, ranging in scale from kiloparsecs to gigaparsecs, from things happening today to things that happened in the early universe. When a theory makes accurate predictions across many problems and areas, that is good evidence for the theory.
Is this a comment on how one must use Javascript to program the JWST?
Yeah, also .de.tf. I just looked it up and my old site is on the wayback machine. So many memories.
What’s the game theory-ish take on this? Isn’t cutting off China’s access to chips counter productive in the long run, because of course they’re going to throw the country behind being self sufficient in this regard.

Is the process where cutting off an opponent’s access to a resource causing them to become more powerful a thing?
As of very recently, incident.io looks like a very attractive alternative.
Starship's goal is to bring the cost per kg to space down to about $10, or about $4.50 per pound. If they succeed, and it's increasingly looking like they will, this will revolutionize space. The main reason we can't do anything fun in space right now is because costs are simply too high. The Space Shuttle cost about $54,500/kg to send something to orbit. [1] The Falcon 9 brought that way down to $2,720/kg. And the Falcon Heavy then brought it down even lower yet to around the $1400/kg mark. These are all near unbelievably reductions in costs, but the costs started out so astronomical that even at the point of $1400/kg you still just can't do anything too terribly interesting in space. It's just too much money. But at $10/kg? That's suddenly completely swinging open the gates to the mass commercialization and exploitation of space.

The ISS was a massive and global project largely because of the unbelievable costs involved in getting it up into space. But the ISS is actually relatively tiny, and only weighs about 450,000kg. We now may be able to send the combined mass of the ISS up into space for as little as $4.5 million (contrasted against $25 billion on the space shuttle)! This really feels surreal, like somehow I cannot even believe what I'm saying myself. But, to the best of my knowledge, it is all 100% accurate. And if so, we are on the verge of a revolution in human civilization that would be difficult to compare anything in our species' history. Cool time to be alive!

At one time there were places that had engineers and just plain inventors would could dream up new vacuum tubes in their sleep.

Plus come up with factories that could mass-produce the products at commodity prices.

I always thought it was cool to see what happened when people like that got a hold of programmable electronics, especially solid-state.
I'd reframe to portray that it hasn't been approved to do so by a regulatory body like the EPA, or else GM mosquitoes [1] wouldn't exist.

The genetic modifications were classified as a biocontrol or pesticide, allowing them fall under the existing EUP process. I wonder whether showing that these sheep were being used to control a local crop pest would qualify them as a technical argument? :D
Why are you posting on the permanent public web if you don't want it to be read forever? You put up fliers at the local bar and are mad someone came by, took pictures, and made a scrapbook of it.

Trust me, I'm as annoyed as anyone about AI siphoning our culture to create bland grey replicas but people need to remember what websites are. They are other people's property, filled with cameras and surrounded by windows. When you go there and store your stuff, put up notes on the bulletin board, and whisper secrets to your friends, you're doing that on someone else's property, and they are watching you very closely. You are doing this in public.
> much in the way that people don't buy a lorry if they just want to pick up their kid from school

No, they buy multi-tons SUVs for that... and come up with all sorts of arguments to justify it.

I'm sure we'll find many reasons to put a lot of new things in orbit if it's cheap enough.
The problem is software development is 95% stuff that has been done a million times before. If you disagree you’re probably not exposed to enough of the industry to see this.
"Junior Assistant Vice-Dean" (or variants thereof) in academia. Those mostly exist to give a pay boost to administrators who've otherwise maxed out on pay.

I recall that my undergrad institution once invented a new deanship out of whole cloth for a coach who'd maxed out on the "professor" pay scale.

Even worse, the bastard didn't even win games!
AI _will_ replace software jobs. It's undeniable. The only thing to argue about is when.

I think most people would agree that AI will probably advance enough in the next 100 years to make engineers obsolete. Some people might think 100 years is actually 5/10/20/50, but it's going to happen unless AI is heavily regulated.
I see. Perhaps there should be a legal framework to get the government to demand companies like cloudflare stop serving these international criminals, then. That way it wouldn't depend on a private entity making the judgement.

Do you ever think it's weird that we have gone through web 1.0, web 2.0, semantic web, intertubes clogged with spam bots, web 3.0: crypto edition, and the dawn of AI scraping, and we still haven't figured out these issues?
I had a free website on .tk

When it because moderately successful, they didn't renew, and then wanted 50€/year.
I feel like this is disingenuous. If launch costs truly go down to $300/kg - or even within an order of magnitude of that - you’ll see affluent hobbyists sending up microsatellites just because they can.

Hell, I’d be interested in doing it if I could put together a 2kg package for under $20k or so. Why not?
The chip uses LoongSon's own "LoongArch" ISA. They moved away from MIPS supposedly because of fears of licensing issues.

It is very much like the last revision of MIPS but modernised a bit: No more branch delay slot. No HI/LO registers. The arithmetic ops that trapped on overflow are also gone.

There are published docs only for the scalar ISA subset: https://loongson.github.io/LoongArch-Documentation/README-EN...

Chips and Cheese has an analysis of the "LSX" and "LASX" SIMD sets. LSX is very much like MIPS's MSA. LASX is extended to 256 bits:

It’s made me sensitive to super flowery language full of metaphors because it reeks of LLM
How many reusable Starship launches have to be made before it exceeds the cost of one non-reusable rocket? Because last time I checked they’re going to have to make over a dozen additional launches to enable this one Artemis journey, assuming they ever get to that point.
It’s not the same energy used, the Snapdragon uses more

Heh, I have grown up not having the toilet paper -- workers paradise, stores carrying mostly the necessities, and luxuries like the toilet paper are only for the few big cities. Using scraps of paper does not kill you. And dental work without Novocaine does not kill you either (although I sure prefer it done with Novocaine now).

But living in this workers paradise I have seen real people suffer from the lack of medication that was available to anyone in the West. The party leadership did not find it necessary (or easy) to produce it locally, so it was only available to those with the right connections. And so on.

I am now a well-off, spoiled American (and the above reads like an O'Henry? story about two rich gentlemen arguing in a restaurant on who had it harder during their youth), but first impressions linger and I will take capitalism over socialism any day. Yes, capitalism has many failings, but replacing the guidance of money with the wise rule of the elite will always lead to a Venezuela-type mismanagement. My 2c.
They are certainly accelerating. I think the consensus is that it is within fabrication there is a "chokepoint".

In terms of design, China has world class companies. However in terms of fabrication and especially semiconductor manufacturing equipment, they are still somewhat behind.

Also x86 is very sticky - it is going to take them a decade to get rid of that.
Make hard copy backups on film.
What's worrying about the article is the fact that electronic editions of ebooks expire, meaning libraries can't keep them indefinitely. It's reminiscent of the Hollywood blockbuster model, where there's only a short window to watch a new movie in theaters. So, while libraries might stock new releases, what happens to the older ones? Could this trend be pushing readers towards newer publications?
This was just off the top of my head, but I imagined the thin rods having low enough thermal mass that the active TEC cooling would not cause fingers to significantly heat up the rods.

That is, the TEC cooler should be able to relatively quickly lower the temperature after the finger is removed.

Again, off the top of my head idea so no idea if it would work or not, but doing a quick viability check should be relatively easy and cheap.
But we do know where it is, to quite good precision. We know how much or how little dark matter is present in different galaxies, which matches quite well with the amount of dark matter that must've been present in the early universe to explain some of the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background.
Very bored of them. Been lucid dreaming since 6-7. The novelty has worn off when you get so many chances
If we're going to correct our metaphor, it's like saying "when we add up the balances of all accounts, we're missing a million dollars, but when we add up all the interest earned on those accounts, total interest only makes sense if that million dollars is somewhere in there. Therefore, there's a million dollars we can detect overall but can't locate specifically."
Culture is ephemeral. Some things are preserved, others are not. It's fine.
When can we get a device with it though?
No bears around therefore the bear patrol must be working.

If you’re out of your depth admining a machine and then the server has a failure in software, that’s not proof that you were right all along that new hardware was necessary.

New hardware may solve the problem incidentally by gifting you a software environment that you’re more familiar with. Given that the author was doing some very strange things with this Mac mini we can’t rule out a misconfiguration.

Moreover, almost any hardware can fail so unless you buy two new servers you’re not going to get many more 9s out of only one “real” server compared to just buying redundant drives for the mini.

It depends on how close they were to the maximum capacity of the mini. Their biggest grievance seemed to be configuration related, they don’t say that the mini is on its knees trying to keep up.
To be perfectly honest, after uploading well over 1000 videos, I got a little tired of it. I still post monthly update videos, but it's been months since the last hacking video.

I'm still working on Ladybird every day, and I also manage two full time engineers now, thanks to the generous sponsorships we got from Shopify & others last year. :)
It has a bit of a learning curve that is worth it - it's an incredible tool.
Regarding documentation: my pet peeve is Google’s developer docs which default to showing docs in your account language with no way to change that. It would be fine if the translation was decent, but Google insists on using their awful machine translation and I would much rather just see the docs in English. But there’s no way to set that as the default as far as I could tell.

Show HN: A Reverse Proxy with Pingora
I've been playing with Pingora to create a reverse proxy that connects backend HTTP or HTTPs service to a single HTTPs frontend (similar to what is generally done with Nginx) serving distinct SSL certificates (using SNI and the host header) for each backend service.

In this example, if you connect to https://127.0.0.1:4430:

* with an SNI and Host header of somedomain.com, you will be served an SSL certificate to somedomain.com and a proxied connection to http://127.0.0.1:4000.

* with an SNI and Host header of one.one.one.one, you will be served an SSL certificate to one.one.one.one and a proxied connection to https://one.one.one.one.

Note: Pingora is a network services crate that Cloudflare recently opensourced, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39535969 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39551115

Have to agree. Along with the practice of cropping original 4:3's to 16:9/Letterbox.
Most killers-for-hire are undercover cops. But Boeing wouldn't be hiring a guy off of rent-a-hitman.com, they have access to groups like Blackwater who literally murder people for the government as a business. They could just ask for whoever did Epstein or Seth Rich (allegedly.)
I lived in the region for some years and never encountered any seafood that I thought was fit to eat. Eventually I stopped ordering it, and turning it down when it was offered to me.

I didn't go to the super-expensive places that have it flown in daily. Those might be okay, but the stuff in normal Chicagoland restaurants and grocery stores is just plain nasty.
I used to host my websites wherever and then having a redirect to it. Two I remember was pagina.de/dr.enima (roughly translates to site of dr.enigma, my nickname back then) and i.am/supermatrix - a website dedicated to the movie the matrix which I love.

I think both of those pages were hosted in geocities and had pretty long urls...
Thinking about it. If apple had dropped their vision pro with something like you can play Half Life Alyx on it like they did with Death Stranding with the M2chip/M3? they might have had a larger buyer pool.
I would agree that it isn't a great place to be in, but I don't know that I necessarily agree with the comparison to movies/books/anime/etc. There's always been plenty of places to discuss smaller movies or shows without getting shit on. I guess the closest approximation I can think of might be the people who take Star Wars vs. Star Trek, or Marvel vs. DC, etc. too seriously, but in this case it's basically a subset of 5E players vs. the world, and the non-5E fanbase is significantly smaller so you don't quite have the similar sizing as you would in those examples. For anime, I don't know that I've ever seen the shounen crowd be vehemently against shoujo or seinen/josei.

I would agree that, on the whole, there is more interest in alternate systems because D&D has gotten so popular.
I'm not the person you've asked, but I'm somebody who has been purchasing SaaS/software for businesses large and small for years. My take:

1. If SSO and other basic modern security features are locked into "Enterprise" pricing tiers then the service is at the bottom of the list (see: https://sso.tax). I'd love to say instant disqualification but too many SaaS companies have it in their head that only wealthy enterprises use SSO, despite SSO platforms being widely available and some quite cheap to acquire and start using.

2. If I need to request a quote to start any kind of service to see what the product is about then I'm not likely to pursue it. Don't make me jump through hoops when I'm just trying to see if a product can fit my needs.

3. If license terms are too complex or easy to violate that's a hard pass. Infrastructure monitoring tools are a great example. The licensing is often per "device" or per monitored metric, and some vendors are very loose with their definition of "device". (Don't use LogicMonitor with k8s unless you like throwing money in the garbage can). Hard lessons learned.

4. If the only details I can find regarding how you secure your product are claims of SOC2 and ISO27001 certification then that's a very likely pass. Those controls are great to have, necessary even, but anyone who has had to work to meet those compliance objectives knows that they're much more about organization controls than they are product security. Give me an idea about how you protect data and whatnot on a security page somewhere, not an attestation that dev and prod are separate and you have logs.

On the side of the positives, outside of not hitting the negative marks, I value ease to work with, responsive and competent support, strong pre and post-sales solutions architecture and support/training (if the product is complex enough to warrant that), and supports SSO. I bring up SSO again because it's a hard requirement for SaaS purchases everywhere I go -- no SSO, no go. Social login is not a substitute and is highly undesired.

Hope this helps.
Ahhh, the memories :)

Understandable, but a loss all the same. I'll never forget how proud I felt as a kid when I first had a URL I could give to people.
Are you associated with the project?

There is a company that already does this, they use it to track ships that turn off their transponders or AIS systems. I think it was shared on hn recently, but I can't find the article anymore

Rhode Island has that policy.
Exactly, my kids are in elementary school and I’ve been talking with superintendents and high school principals. It’s straightforward to teach kids about the brain as a muscle and sleep as critical to rest and recovery to best power cognition. The glymphatic system gives a clear mechanism and yet I haven’t found many places where it’s being taught as a core part of how to best use your brain. Sleep is still considered a nice to have for brain performance, not a driver of working smarter.
This, like the ETFs, are so lame. All of this was supposed to be peer to peer.

Ask HN: What's your experience with forking Firefox?
Just wondering if anybody here has tried forking Firefox for the purpose of deep UI customization, and if you did how it went or is currently going. I haven’t been able to find much in the way of posts (on blogs or elsewhere) discussing the subject.

I have several browser UI design ideas I’d like to play with, and at first glance a Firefox fork seems like it might be a good option for this purpose. The primary challenge I imagine would be keeping the fork up to date with mainline for security patches.

Is this practical as a side project for a solo dev or will it be a struggle to keep up?
For algorithms, sure. For this class, it had worked great when I took it 20 years ago. The class didn’t expect us to solve the problems, just understand them enough to apply them in our daily thinking for software.
Yeah, there's definitely a subset of "super-readers" who really benefit from taking out library books. I used to be probably in the 50-75 range plus a ton of magazine subscriptions. I'm more like 10 or so now. I also bet there's a sizable percentage of the population who doesn't read one book a year.
No that’s definitely illegal. They can’t discriminate on race/gender period. So what they do instead is just not hire anyone when the best candidate is not diverse enough, but this is also illegal as well, but super hard to prove.
