I use a combination of Zotero, Locally Linked PDFs/Folder Structure, and SumatraPDFs (Comments etc.):

folders:
- for every literature search, create a folder with date and name
- e.g. 2024-03-21_Quantum_Entanglement
- use CTRL-SHIFT-DRAG to drop files into Zotero as Links, see [#77](https://github.com/zotero/zotero/issues/77)
- You _can_ organize in Zotero, but you don't have to. Files can be linked
to multiple Zotero folders (simply copy library entries in Zotero)
- sync literature folder and zotero database with nextcloud to somewhere, for backup
zotero:
- disable sync
- set “Base directory” (Preferences > Advanced > Files and Folders) to local literature folder
- set PDF View to “System default” (Preferences > General > “Open PDFs using..”)
- Enable recursive quick search in folders: go to Preferences > Advanced > Config Editor, search for `recursiveCollections`, double click (set to True)
- use CTRL-Shift-C to copy bibliography to clipboard
- Dark Theme:
- https://github.com/Rosmaninho/Zotero-Dark-Theme
- Go to `%AppData%\Zotero\Zotero\Profiles\` (`XXXXXXXX.default`)
- Create `chrome` folder
- Place the `userChrome.css`
- Start Zotero
- Add-Ons:
- zotero-pdfkit
- https://github.com/sharpevo/zotero-pdfkit/
- allows to modify/select a “default” PDF attachment to be opened
- ZoteroDuplicatesMerger
- https://github.com/frangoud/ZoteroDuplicatesMerger
- easier merging of duplicates
- zotero-folder-import
- https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-folder-import
- bulk import PDFs from a folder
- zotero-tag
- https://github.com/windingwind/zotero-tag
- allows to add stars to items (Num Key `1`, `2`, `3` etc.)
- PDF Tools:
- qpdf
- removing passwords, unlocking PDFs, conversion
- install in WSL with `apt-get install qpdf`
- remove password with `qpdf --decrypt --password="" input.pdf output.pdf`
- `SumatraPDF`
- _Really_ fast Viewing of PDFs and adding annotations (highlight, comment etc.)
- Highlight Text: `A`, Save to file: `CTRL+SHIFT+S`
- it is much faster than Adobe Acrobat
- [pdfplumber](https://github.com/jsvine/pdfplumber)
- Awesome python package to extract tables from PDFs into data pipelines. Use with Jupyter Lab.
- [PDF X-Change viewer](https://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-editor), `choco install pdfxchangeviewer`
- for manual OCR of pages/PDFs
Berlin is quite poor and it still has decent public transport and good walkability. Public transport is far from profitable in Berlin. It's entirely possible to raise a family without a having a car in Berlin.
I'm a big fan of FreeCAD. There are certainly more capable tools that are easier to learn, but I have invested enough time and energy into FreeCAD that I can get what I want out of it. My 3D CAD needs are not tremendously complex, but every time I need to do something more complex, I find that FreeCAD does the job - sometimes it's not as obvious as it is in other CAD Packages.

I remember using Blender a long time ago, and how weird it was. They figured it out, and I think there are enough developers and enough commitment that in another Decade the current incumbents are going to consider FreeCAD as a real threat.
The first tool like this I saw was [comby](https://comby.dev/). I remember it being a bit annoying to use for small-to-medium refactors. Next time I'll try `grit` and see how it does.
May be its time for people to look at memcached again. It is still actively maintained and last release was two days ago.
This page has some good general information that you ought to be aware of before talking to people about this topic: https://www.ces.fau.edu/nasa/module-3/temperature-trend-chan... In short, the planet's temperature shifts wildly in geological time, even in a human time scale. Our written language and species may eventually survive long enough to convey all of this information past the next ice age, whenever that is to happen.

>The only reason we are coming out of an ice age is due to human activity increasing the bulk insulation properties of the atmosphere.

The climate is naturally cyclical, as explained in my reference above and many other academic sources. Again I'm not suggesting there is no human impact but that this may be difficult to isolate, no matter how confident various researchers claim to be in their models. We humans have lived through an ice age only 20k years ago and that ice age has been ending ever since, and not because of us. As an armchair geologist you should know about that as well as the Little Ice Age much more recent than that. This looks interesting: https://www.history.com/news/ice-age-human-survival
Java was crippled by a terrible standard UI library and a failure to recognize the opportunity for a natively-compiled systems language other than C++.
> Looking at the state of open source software today a google is simply impossible because the ecosystem has rotted from the inside.

There’s lots of reasons a Google is impossible to start today (the main one being “Google exists, whatever the next explosive startup-to-giant is [0], it will look nothing like Google, and such things aren’t cookie-cutter, each is sui generis), but the explanation you offer above is… unconvincing as a bare conclusion, but maybe could be fleshed out with more description and support.

> Not sure what the solution is but we need fewer sheep in development and less permissive licenses so developers doing unglamorous work can capture more of the value.

The two halves of this sentence are in tension, and the first seems more reasonable than the second.

> Look at how much effort it took to write the cgi-bin scripts google started with vs whatever flavour of the week JS framework you have to use now.

You don’t have to use a flavor-of-the-week JS framework in place of cgi-bin scripts. (And, in some ways, the lowest-friction backend options are lower friction to get up and running than cgi-bin scripts on a server you set up, because you’ve got things like “serverless” FaaS hosts.)

Edison invented the research and development laboratory as a business.

The Wright Bros invented the directed research and development program, where:

1. the problems were identified

2. each problem was solved as a separate effort

3. the solutions were combined into a final working project

This has been followed ever since. The race to the moon program is probably the finest example of its implementation.
Sherlocking is also considered a good thing nowadays. It acts to expand the market by bringing about awareness of such a feature.

I've often wondered what the goto haters think about Scheme continuations.
Yeah, the medium (and "uncool" large) cities are where it's at in the US. Smaller is very affordable to live, but the lack of jobs is commensurate with the affordability.

I've never lived in Chicago but it seems like a particularly good bet in terms of affordability vs access to jobs and markets. Atlanta, Houston, and Philadelphia also all seem to be more affordable than they should considering their access to jobs and markets.

It's getting worse all the time though. It feels like we have to hurry to buy or be left out. Everywhere is less affordable than it was just a few years ago.
Check ambulance fees and the average savings stats. It might not be so far fetched.
This.

Also, horses are the original self-driving transportation, and anyone with the means to buy some newfangled technology like the early bicycle. It's been a hundred years and we're still not better in that regard than the finest of equine hybrid technology, so can you imagine the landed gentry giving that up to... Exert themselves to travel to town?

(Queue 'bicycle as feminist icon' comments below)
> If you really want to move away from "socialism" or whatever, then make infrastructure toll based in the US. You'll find though that toll roads are highly unpopular.

One example of this is Japan, where nearly all of the highways are privatized and tolled. To get to the nearest metropolis to me I can either drive for 3.5 hours and pay $60 in tolls+gas, or ride the bullet train for 1.5 hours for $70. (Now as soon as you have a family of people in that car, the train starts looking really expensive, but for business travelers it's a no-brainer)

As Kubernetes administrators and developers, we’ve all heard the notion that pods can get evicted due to high CPU pressure on a node. But is this really true? Let’s explore this idea and put it to the test.
Great work! I really hope that you guys end up having a ton of industry interest. Really see JITX being a positive addition to the whole EDA toolchain. I remember several efforts from within the industry where even during copy&paste from reference designs, the mistakes were made and the PCB batch was ending in a trash.

Once the library of snippets gets beefy, and people can build boards with their Raspberry Pis and Zeros on them, it'll be a critical mass.

Good luck!

I don't see any pictures of welding happening in the OP. I do see a battery pack constructed with the usual spot-welded metal strips. The spot welder is the machine that you press against the connection, press the switch and it goes zap and you have a connection. It isn't especially dangerous, as far as I know. It uses a low-voltage high-current pulse to melt and fuse the metal only at the contact points.
File a lawsuit against a John/Jane Doe defendant(s) and describe who the defendants are, e.g., the people who code and maintain the emulator. Maybe a little harder than if you had the names but not by a lot.

My early 1910s Manhattan building was fantastically quiet, with very thick walls. The only noise I ever heard was floor noise directly above me, never to the sides.

I'm guessing mid-1900s to early 2000s buildings are the problematic ones.
> What? Both culturally and geographically this is false.

Russia is in Asia, not Europe. And Russian culture is quite different from Western European culture (although obviously the further East you go in Europe, and the closer to Russia, the more it becomes similar).

> And the modern Herzl version of Zionism

The "Herzl Zionism" is not different from the ancient Zionism. Not sure what you are talking about with altars and red cows.

Zionism means Jews want to live in Israel, which has been their homeland for over 3,000 years.

For some reason this bothers people, perhaps because Israel has been invaded so many times people try to forget that Israel is the homeland of the Jews, rather than any of the other invaders to the region.

And even if you want to talk about Herzl his idea was not in response to events in Europe, aside from the fact that it started in Russia not Europe, there was no specific event he was responding to. He was just responding to Antisemitism in general.

Some people think Israel was founded in response to the Holocaust, and while the Holocaust accelerated the matter, the return of Jews to their homeland in Israel was a movement that long predated the Holocaust. If not for Arabs and their frequent massacres of Jews, there would have been a LOT more Jews in Israel even before the Holocaust.
Maybe there would have been an opportunity for a three-wheel recumbent bike to be developed first? Seems like a lot of easier engineering if you can take stability as a given and just worry about the driver supplying direction and power.
> None of the early designs seemed to have any brakes, making them quite impractical.

None of them were freehub designs, so you could always backpedal to slow down. It's definitely more work than a real brake, but it's not nothing.
Is it different from running through the web server? I found it to have a lot of potential but not there yet
I should say: the real difficulty is service, but if there's any way to get in contact with you, there's at least a chance it will be accepted as good service. There was famously a recent case where a defendant known only by a Bitcoin address was served by sending a transaction with an attached message to that address.

Not too hot on DND these days but I still see the DBZ Card Game as an amazing achievement in terms of game design. People often see games as fitting into certain categories. Crunchy, Narrativist, Gamist what have you. But the DBZ card game managed to deliver narrative, crunch, versimiltude all in one package. I had never watched DBZ or had any special interest in it when the game was demoed at my club, but the cards as martial art moves, with a martial arts style, and a character that brought their own dimension with power level, power stages and their very own gimmick was immediately wonderful.

In terms of card game design, without the help of a computer, I have never seen its equal.
If I'm reading this right it's not quite apples for apples, as it's comparing the cost to create and move the beef, but doesn't consider the cost to create the car, only the movement of the car.

Oh man, you're killing me here. Too deftly ironic for trolling, so I'll respond, for your entertainment!

I work in Fintech, and I use vim. You just blew out my context scope.

But I see this is more localized confusion. Your liberal arts curriculum also didn't extend to Latin or French apparently. Or you can blame autocorrect if you like!

Also, seriously ironically: I first learned that phrase from the same guy who made me read Strindberg in high school (he also taught French). There's something going on here.

Re: the rest: you're still missing the point, so I've nothing more to add.
It's a variant, with lots of quality-of-life upgrades, some very well thought-out new mechanics, and new biomes and missions.
Why didn't we make a mass manufactured consumer product before the Industrial Revolution?

* The Industrial Revolution increased the number of people with disposable income. The potential market for a new thing was seen as much larger post Industrial Revolution.

* Inventing was seen as a much more profitable venture with the possibility of manufacturing behind it. There was a wave of entrepreneurs on the latest hype cycle.

* Urbanization helped spread ideas faster. The trains helped connect distant people. Part of the marketing of bicycles is seeing people ride them on the street. Busier streets with more visitors only help spread the word.

* Previous levels of material sciences limited the quality of the bike

How about that time they claimed the Cybertruck beats a Porsche in a 1/4 mile race, but they only did a 1/8 mile race and then just made up a 1/4 mile time based on their feelings? [1]

Or that time they lied about 120,000 defective suspensions that broke causing crashes and fatalities and then blamed their customers and covered it up so they would not have to issue a recall in the US (they were forced to issue a recall for the issue in China)? [2]

A decade of unequivocal lies about delivering autonomous vehicles [3] while knowingly killing tens to hundreds.

I wouldn't expect a small but steady income to be enough all by itself, but it will put people closer to retiring. When combined with some savings, I'd expect some people would choose to retire earlier than they would if they didn't have it.

I do support UBI, but I also expect that it would have complicated effects.
I’m curious to hear if there any good alternatives. Automatic sync is the killer feature.

Unfortunately if there are no alternatives, manual uploads will have to do.
> There's actually a third intractable reality up against star travel:

How is this intractable? This is a moral argument. It won't stop anyone from doing it. I am not sure you are using the word intractable correctly. It implies impossible, or unrealistic to be solved even if hypothetically possible, etc.

Whereas from what you say it seems it's possible, you just think it should not be done (due to being in your view immoral).

Very different things.

Ask HN: Why do this LLM companies trained on dangerous content all together?
Hi All,

Within minutes of talk and creating imaginary scenario, any one is able to jail break an AI model and get recipes to make dangerous stuff.
The question is why would this companies train the LLM on such dangerous data altogether?
And to whom are they providing such extra services , clearly if you have trained it and is already serving it ?

Selecting the dataset was clearly their job and all terrible outcomes can simply be avoided at the training itself.
Are there any F500 companies remaining which have not had a RTO push?

Not only has my company been increasingly pressuring RTO, they are getting rid of offices and even cubicles. You can now hotel in an open office hellscape. Return to office and double down on miserable working conditions.

It feels like the execs just want to reinforce who is in charge.
For years I've been taking screenshots of my phone as a way to record when a song is playing that I like.

I've also taken actual photos of "Now Playing" interfaces on other people's devices to try and save music that I've overheard playing (everything from car media interfaces to paper posters to pictures of Soundcloud pulled up on a laptop).

I've been doing so far without having a system to actually collect these photos into a playlist, but now that we have multi-modal models like GPT-4, I realized this is easy to build!

This script I created works surprisingly well despite only having 2 examples for GPT-4 to work off. I've fed it thousands of my screenshots from the last few years, and it's correctly identified tons of music. Next up we just need a script that can query TuneMyMusic or an equivalent Spotify/Apple Music playlist service to add all the detected songs to a playlist automatically.

The eventual dream is to be able to take a photo or screenshot of any kind of music interface in any app, and have it automatically end up in a playlist in my library within minutes (shazam-style, but for photos instead of audio).
Yeah it's challenging to find self-reflective people these days.

Ask HN: How is the Spotify app so bad?
The library tree view is so terrible.

- You cannot shift+click select to easily add playlists into a folder.

- Any podcasts you follow cannot be moved into folders to tidy things up. They just clutter the sidebar.

- You have to click on a tiny arrow to expand a folder. Clicking on the folder navigates inside the folder.

The fact that podcasts are in the same Spotify mega-app is terrible too. And the podcast experience is a complete mess.

I listened to an interview with the head of Spotify product, and he talked about how great it was to have everything in this mega app. I just feel the opposite of everything he said.

It's one of the most popular services in the world, but has one of the worst user experiences of all the apps I use.

And they actually think they are doing a good job at it.
indeed, already new official nvidia drivers don't support the aging Nvidia card I have in my desktop at home (the desktop is newer than the video card, I moved it from an older computer).
Lets be honest here, a very significant portion of business practices are caused because upper management do not trust the team they hired.

Be it that they don't trust them to have the right idea, or trust them to do the work. Nearly all business practises we hate are caused by a measure of overt control over your daily time and a strict measuring of your time and tasks.

Unfortunately: there's about 10-20% of people who genuinely shouldn't be working because they are untrustworthy, and things like remote work just enabled them to take multiple jobs or slack-off massively.

So these practices mostly exist to deal with those people and the rest of us just suffer.
This is a great idea. I assume that inference costs will be higher for the time being, but it does aim to solve a real problem. Kudos..!
The features described seem of dubious general value, but don’t seem like things that would work without an LLM, especially the smart text area. (Smart ComboBox sounds like it might be more generally useful than the others.)

But the point of these seems to be more of a solution looking for a problem than attempt to find an efficient solution to an identified problem. Or, rather, they are one of Microsoft’s many efforts as part of looking for a solution to their problem of “how to do we monetize our investment into AI technology” not a solution to customer problems.
