> The city allegedly giving him grief. I'm still not sure if this was preventable or not considering the bit about how he failed to submit building plans. If your plan is to own a significant chunk of this city, you're going to have to play better politics than repeatedly being asked to leave at public functions.

Maybe it's just because I don't live in a depressed area like this, but I simply don't understand the city's motivation for being a pain in the ass here. I mean, pretend you're the mayor or city council of this town. Industry has left. The jobs have left. Your schools suck. The state and country is ignoring you. Your citizens are spiraling into poverty, drugs, and crime. A wacky entrepreneur moves in, and would like to take a shot at revitalization.

And you're worried about architectural drawings and building codes?????

Even if the guy is has weird ideas, why would you make it your job to get up his ass when he appears to at least be trying to do something positive?

It's hinted in the article that the local government has its own (lame) revitalization plans, which will also not work, and sees this guy as competition. So silly. No wonder it sucks living in these hopeless places.
or a slight twist, if fusion doesn't bring free energy due to capitalism harvesting a profit maybe THAT is the instigator of its downfall
No, but obviously you have. Believe me, the AI finds your contributions
either obvious or wrong.
I'm not sure about size limitations, but apple music allows syncing personal collections through their service. Having access to my large library, much of which is not available through any streaming service, is why I use it.

That said, apple music has a large number of bugs with this service that are infuriating to deal with. For instance, I've noticed it dedups some of the library to the incorrect (censored) version of songs.
I feel very similarly. I have 0 rust experience and 0 Osdev experience but i love unix-like OSes and I am super super interested in what there guys are doing.
In my headcanon, this level is just "E1M1 - Knee deep in wrap"
This really really needs to trigger on drag so I can just go ape bananas with it on my phone.
You are fighting a losing battle if you don't want to see GitHub links on HN.
you have to remember this is the tactic food industry have understood for decades by selling multiple branda of potato chips masquarading as 'choices' to capture as wide a market as possible. Can you blame a person for doing the same.
Agree. For example, those people still moving to the Florida coast really should spend a bit more time thinking it through. But there are a lot of other circumstances where climate impacts could not have been clearly foreseen.
They have invested the most in preference alignment with special attention to DEI (for better or for worse).
For apotify it's not even share holders anymore. They need to figure out how to survive at all. It's either flail their arms in a desperate attempt or just give in like jack on the titanic.
> we're consistently crushing cublas, cusolver and cudnn, sometimes cutlass.

I know you probably don't mean to say that Nvidia can't write good CUDA, but this does sort of illustrate how hard that is. I've seen similar cases (tiny matrix multiplied by enormous matrix) in which it was possible to write something faster than Nvidia's library. I'm not sure if this has been addressed since though.

> they can be beaten on memory bandwidth with pretty lowly-optimized kernels

This is partly why I believe most CUDA code probably isn't "good" - there's this enormous gulf between acceptable and good which often isn't worth crossing.
Something influenced by 2 double recessive genes will occur ~1/8 of the time in a population where the recessive gene is common.
To each their own. They have similar-ish (i.e. retro) styles, but their aims are not identical. Certainly, the intent of Scarfolk is to be eerie, whereas Look Around You is not intended to be creepy, merely absurdist, which is another area of contrast. I don't think either is better than the other.
Just a note that the latest version of "deleted", like a lot of the comic pages, is missing the image. If you go back to an older archived version of the page, the image is there (https://web.archive.org/web/20180101012139/https://abstruseg...)
> I really really don't understand what is hard to understand.

I mean, not every single person on HN is a 10x developer that knows 300 programming languages known to man and 45 more known only to catgirls.

I'm a daytime Windows admin, this isn't stuff I normally work with, especially because it's targeted at a specific stack of things that I don't touch.

I really really don't understand what is hard to understand.
I imagine that you can draw pictures with this, where dark colors are represented by a lot of small bubbles. Not sure what the algorithm for that would look like though.
Why does the article mainly focus on the great apes? All apes, including gibbons lost their tails.
I've thought about it. I have a big library from pre-streaming. Some Napster (though that's mostly music I had owned on vinyl) but mostly ripped CDs. I could very reasonably populate any holes and add the occasional new album/song. But, for now, I find streaming convenient.
I was kinda hoping that the biggest patch would be Aws
I religiously use Google contacts. It's the simplest way to keep people contacts up to date on Android.

I archive all important documents in specific folders by subject and date. This is backed up to back blaze with restic. https://restic.net/

I use https://ente.io for pictures. I convinced my wife to use it, and she agreed to auto share her photos so I don't nag her for copies. It had simple import from Facebook and Google.

I also keep extensive journals, which really helps to tie it all together. I can basically grep for hangouts, conversations, etc. https://jodavaho.io/tags/bullet-journal.html

I also separate work journal from personal, and have essentially a journal for each project. https://jodavaho.io/tags/bullet-journal.html again.

I religiously use Google calendar for all plans, you can easily search it for past events to get dates. See also journal.

I use task warrior, and use projects organized the same way as my project journal and file folders. https://taskwarrior.org/

So a project might be 'outrider/planner' and so the relevant docs are on ~/outrider/planner, tasks are in proj:outrider:planner and my notes are in docs dir with a common name like 'notebook.md' or logs/<date>.md

It's really that combo of using same method for folder structure, task project structure, notes, docs that keeps my life sane. Grep and FZF make it very easy to search.
My concern with Pack obliging me to compress is that compression becomes less pluggable; I'd much rather my archive format be agnostic of compression, as with tar, so that I can trivially move to a better compression format when one inevitably comes to be.
I know this one, but this is almost about perception of school faculty when it comes to the device, as long as it doesn’t have camera it’d probably pass.

As for the others: iPod nano could at some point play dumped playlists (and if I remember correctly it worked with Apple Music at some point), same works with Apple Watch but this is almost on smartphone level.

Supposedly there’s Mighty player (which I found just now, after posting) so maybe there are more?
The yes-or-no reference answer test is a really bad way to go about this. Maybe take a note out of RAGAS evaluation templates and use an LLM to iteratively summarise the nuanced category.
Avoid HN, Reddit, and Meta adjacent sites. You'll be fine if you do.
I don't really know. I was just trying to come up with some obscure references. Solaris on desktop wasn't crazy enough.

I think a modern take on NeWS style system would use Webassembly style system with capability based access rather then PostScript and no security. Basically a modern browser with Canves/WebGL and without a lot of other stuff a browser does.

Would have been a interesting alternative to the Wayland approach.

Kind of sad that Scott McNealy didn't have the balls to open it up. Having some real competition to X in the 90s would have been a cool. Specially if Sun had pushed it at least somewhat.
I strongly agree. In principle, exceptions are a streamlined version of tossing err up the stack without any embellishment. In practice, I put cookies away in the cabinet so that I don't eat them. Humans write code, and our behaviors change in response to our surroundings. I think a lot more about failure cases in Go than Ruby.

Maybe you're not like that, but you're the exception that proves the rule!
Personally I also scatter files across cloud, laptop and smartphone, with no plan or structure; files end up where I last used them.

For now that works well for me though. Sorting by last modified and starring or adding items to favorites also helps. Password managers are also useful when it comes to storing sensitive data.
Does this single anecdote change the actual data evident in the photos? I'm sure you didn't wake up and think of excluding anyone, but clearly this selected for white males as many activities do. Nobody is asking anyone to feel guilty about it, cnn is just reporting the facts.
Not sure about rails, but I'd definitely mount an umbrella on my tail, just in case it rains.
None of his ideas make sense. It just sounds like he has this picture of a life in his head, but it's not even remotely his. The last line is particularly baffling:

> “It'd be freaking fantastic to own a hotel, and like, have rooftop parties and turn the whole top floor into a penthouse for me. You know? Like, that's, like, how would I not want to do that?

Dude? Who the fuck are you going to be partying with? The town is full of criminals who steal from you. A makerspace? Where are the makers? An art studio? Where are the artists? Your town is "MAGA, drugs and crime" as an HNer put it in the previous article about this saga. Where is all of this culture going to magically come from, besides your imagination?

This guy seems like the true "If You Build It They Will Come" believer, but he's not even building anything. And even if he does Build It, the place seems like too much of a shithole for anyone to actually come.
It's pointless. Russians don't give a fuck about lies being believable - neither the govenernment not the people.

They were indoctrinated to be cynical passive conformists for their whole lives, and their parents and grandparents likewise. They will go along with whatever, as long as they don't starve.

There's no point counting on them protesting, and there's no point trying "not to provoke them". They just aren't a factor.

West needs to ignore all that pussyfooting and send enough resources to make the war materially unsustainable for putin. That's all that matters.
I've faced (and am still facing) this problem as well. I don't think there's a good single solution, especially for finding specific photos.

My current imperfect approach is to use Raycast / Alfred as a meta search tool to find things in various places. It doesn't unify things but it makes searching multiple places low friction.

Some specific tools, in case it helps.

- invoices, contracts, etc. go into paperless-ngx. Physical documents get scanned in.

- miscellaneous or unorganized documents into Nextcloud

- custom solution for searching text messages

- no solution whatsoever for images. I think semantic image search might do the job, although I haven't explored what tools exist for that.

The most dramatic influence on my listening habits has been online communities like rateyourmusic.com, algorithms be damned.

Also, count me among the many HN readers I expect will weigh in about self-hosting Navidrome. Rediscovering my old favorites (and the albums I had long forgotten) has been such a delight. I ditched Spotify as a result, but for new music I signed up for Deezer because of their fair(er) pay arrangement with artists.
Wrong. He was given stock with a made up hypothetical value. It isn't related to the yearly revenue/costs of the company.
I sometimes wonder if our own universe is kinda like that. We keep looking for the most basic particles, but maybe there are none. Maybe it’s all just infinitely zoomable and we’re only aware of our own level. Stuff is made of stuff which is made of other stuff, infinitely. And maybe there’s life in different levels. Like, inside the electron. Or maybe we’re all living inside of much larger life forms.
Copyright owners being anti-preservation are literally stealing from the public. If a work cannot be preserved to independently ensure it exists long-term, then it has effectively been stolen from the public domain. This is theft in a way that normal copyright infringement can never be.
Tresorit is where all my stuff goes. Except photos from my phone, for that I use iCloud backup (not Photo sync - the encrypted full device backup)

My priorities for a solution for this was 1) Privacy 2) Security mostly in terms og availability (reliability) 3) works across the platforms the family uses, 4) do not want to spend any time managing the solution and 5) long term solution

I generally do not trust cloud services so Google Drive, Dropbox et al are not even in the discussion. Tresorit is an exception due to e2e encryption and company location (EU).

Tresorit is ridiculously expensive, and I pay for more iCloud storage. I have just accepted that if I want the priorities above (and esp. not having to managing it myself) I would have to pay for a quality product.

Proton (mail and drive) I would also trust for the same reasons I do Tresorit, and I think it’s less expensive, but it wasn’t around when I picked Tresorit

Edit: a big part of why Tresorit (and iCloud) solves the problem is actually not due to Tresorit, but being disciplined about sticking to only using one product. Sometimes that means not doing something I want if it’s not compatible with Tresorit, or accepting a more involved manual process. Like, MS Office documents I don’t use 365 and the Office storage (one drive), but the offline version of and a folder on disk synced to Tresorit.
Have you had practical success with this? It seems every discussion about Go error handling someone posts this but in all our projects it's riddled with false positives. I'm not convinced it's practically useful, though it is academically interesting.
C# took the nullable types route and it isn't the greatest experience since everything can be null regardless of the annotations.

Null as a language concept is the issue since it's inherently flawed.
I've moved to more and more plain-text or more common formats for others that will likely survive the test of time, such as JPEGs, PDFs.

So far, I'm also responsible for managing the digital assets of our family and the extended in-laws. Here is how I have organized so far, and there is a lot of room for improvement.

Every individual is a container (folder) and then is foldered further into the common ones -- medical/health, photos, documents, etc. So, if mother-in-law asked my wife to find the medical record for my father-in-law that we went to the clinic in AUG-2022, I go look at "/name/health/" and then is either in an "EventName" folder or a "Year/Date/Something". I can fine something within a few folders of separation for anything.

I tend to organize file, more aptly receipt, named something in the lines of "YYYY-MM-DD $xyz What was it.pdf". So, I know the date, the invoice/receipt value and what it might be without opening the file.

The photos are still in Apple Photos for convenience but is backed up every month to the highest resolution it was hot at in a JPEG and exported month as "/photos-backup/YYYY/photos-YYYY-MM" as part of my weekly, monthly, quarterly, and then yearly digital chores. As I do this regularly, they don't tend to pile up, even if I missed, say while traveling or I just got lazy and skip it.

The question I usually ask when using a tool/program is, “Can I walk out of this?”

Here is an example, when my daughter grows up enough and wants to own her digital assets, there is one folder with her and everything organized the way I've done, "Schools", "Health", "Creatives", "Photos", etc. She can then proceed the way she wants.

Of course, these are replicated across drives, cloud-drives, etc. My next fun project is to replicate my data across a few locations I frequent around the world -- a remote hilly hometown, the current home in Bangalore, another place I go frequently for work, etc.

(Typed in a bit of a haste. Will come back and edit.)
Keeping backups of everything in a centralized directory/drive is useful since regardless of where the content may be normally (phone, different system) if it gets backed up to one place then it makes it searchable/indexable.

Edit: I should mention the kinds of backups I prefer to keep for structured data are in non-binary formats, which helps with searches. Otherwise just keeping organization sensible for future-me helps a great deal.

Weight is a big deal for ebikes, especially eMTBs. I wouldn't mind a lighter phone/laptop either.
For me, I use a combination of things and I keep regular backups of everything.

Photos: Google Photo

Notes: Nextcloud +Joplin

Documents and invoices: Google Drive

I didn't move photos and documents to Nextcloud because the features for viewing photos and editing documents are not as good as Google.
Your advice is good but your reasoning is misleading. Smaller more frequent charges are easier on a battery than less frequent larger charges of the same magnitude. Better to go from 70% to 80% five times than to go from 30% to 80% once. That's true with thermal control like most car batteries, and even more without thermal control, like laptops.

If you find this interesting, I can thoroughly recommend the “King of Kings” series of podcasts by Dan Carlin.
You can also do this for Kerbal Space Program using the kRPC mod: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/130742-18x-to-112.... It's a much less polished experience, but you get more of the experience of an actual avionics/robotics project doing it this way - multiple sensors that may not necessarily agree with each other (for example, IIRC accelerometers installed at different ends of the ship will register different readings!), you have to be quite a bit more careful when interfacing with engines and may not have access to a simple "go left" control input, you have to deal with whatever nightmare vehicle you built that you need a computer to handle, that kind of thing.
How long until humans have an actual "shelve" (indentation) on their pinkie at birth to rest their phone on?
Some people still do blogs, youtube channels, or website for fun. It's just increasingly difficult to find them. Bypassing the algorithmic feeds is hard. Youtube has made it even harder for people to share their assessment of videos by suppressing the dislike count.

It would be great if they exposed their various metrics so third-parties could design their own feed algorithm.
The question remains:

Does quantity map to speed or consistency?

Maybe it depends whether it’s an individual or group effort?

For an individual, the feedback loop would seem to have a speed limit, as they’d need to evaluate the prior work and try to improve upon it.

Whereas in a team, individuals can churn out quantity and an editor can pick the best of the batch.
Wait until you've seen the Ijon Tichy miniseries. It's .. a different approach.
"employers confused why their sociopathy is apparent"
For long-term preservation of important digital assets, I strongly recommend using archival-grade DVDs. While cloud services like Google Drive have demonstrated remarkable reliability in file storage over the years, surpassing the performance of most consumer-grade hard drives and USB drives, DVDs offer unparalleled reliability for local storage. This is the only approach to ensure your files remain accessible and secure over +50 years timeframe.
Here's who's getting money

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39765718

People and organizations that understand what's important to keeping the American Empire strong and gas prices low and offer to deliver.

They aren't going anywhere. They pay for the laws.

Good luck thinking the Clinton's and MTG's would choose you over mere millionaires especially when you don't vote and don't contribute to elections. When last did you contribute money for a table at a fundraiser so someone can speak for you?

You give me the "Genocide Joe I'd rather have Trump vibe"

I and we aren't going anywhere. It's cheaper to get you out to that fake Utopia you think exists in Europe.

They have stricter immigration rules than the US and you don't qualify? Hmm. How about New Zealand and Australia? I really wonder

The US already spends more on health per capita even excluding the costs of drugs. It's not because some random put money into Bitcoin in 2006 and is now a a near billionaire. Or because they won the lottery. There's an entire system eating away at the money and even Amazon couldn't fight it. You'll have better luck getting rid of the TSA
I keep "important" (as in I might need them for taxes or be asked for them again later) papers all in one folder organized by year and I'm pretty good at putting things there when I need to.

The rest is spread out across 2 google drive accounts and a Hetzner Nextcloud instance. I was really uncertain about the reliability of NC when I started using it but now it's been so reliable for quite some time and I'm thinking of moving more stuff there. Even though Hetzner offers automatic backups I think I still need another backup but haven't figured that part out yet.

Oh also I use syncthing to keep a few folders synced between my laptop, phone, and NC instance.

I will say though I've been long interested and searched for some ways that people actually organize their folders and such but haven't see anything too useful. I guess as long as you have good search it isn't as important.
I didn’t hear a difference either. I think the reason is explained in the comment by mrob above. Obviously the author believes he can hear a clear difference. I wonder if he blind tested himself.
a long time? You probably need at least 7-9 generations to select "strong pinky shelf" as desirable and I'm not sure any culture is yet?
I can't think of a language that has less of these sorts of things you have to internalize than Go. Sure, they're annoying, but so many other languages have even more rough edges.

Maybe you could argue Rust does because it refuses to compile a ton of invalid cases, but I consider the time it takes me to write usable code (whether that's compiling or passing some runtime tests) an important metric.
No. I was very aware of how exploitative the Google economy was more than 10 years ago. See

maybe it just stings for me because of the way one of my businesses was failed and how mad my wife was at me in the few years it took me to pay off our HELOC.

Getting mad about generative AI like getting upset in 2024 about Martin Luther King getting shot or Japan invading Perl Harbor. AI might be a good reason to not post about assembly language programming for the C-64 or how to make web pages with Flash and Cold Fusion.

Why do you post to Reddit or Hacker News when it is helping somebody else get (or stay) rich?

The advantage of generative A.I. is that it is not so two-sided so it will be a lot more competitive, today you are getting ripped off by a company in Silicon Valley but when the cost effectiveness of LLMs improves by 100x you will also be getting ripped off by people who live in places you never heard of.
