I was taught by a chinese restaurant chef his technique for how to cook chinese rice in a normal pot on the stove at home. The technique consists of (after washing away most of the starch) starting out by submerging the rice under an extra couple of centimeters of water (you use your hand/knuckles to measure, it's not super precise) and high-heat boil uncovered till the water level drops to even with the surface of the rice. Now cover and put heat down very low and let the rest of the water absorb while you make your stir fry. Before serving, turn all the rice over a time or two with a paddle and let it resettle uncovered, this helps the rice dry a little and be less sticky, but keeps it cluster-chop-stick-able.

I explained all that to say, I adapted that technique for a microwave and it worked great right away. Microwaves vary a lot in power and timing, so I can't really give a how-many-minutes recipe, but the technique just works.

Thanks, will get back in couple more days.
Helion's idea is super exciting. The above article says:

"In reactors with deuterium-only fueling (which is much more difficult to ignite than a deuterium-tritium mix), the neutron reaction product has five times lower energy and the neutron streams are substantially less damaging to structures. But the deleterious effects will still be ruinous on a longer time scale."

So I suppose there is that issue, but far better than what a reactor using 3H would have. But as their reactor uses 3He also I wonder how that would affect neutron damage to the equipment.
For fun I self-host Asterisk at home, but I'm using a cheap VoIP provider (VoIP.ms) to take the burden of hosting for this project. The code that I did write to pull messages is just some boring API interfacing in a simple Python script: https://gitlab.com/unixispower/after-the-beep/-/blob/main/_u...
Sam’s club offers this. I’ve stopped using it because it’s too easy to forget to scan something.

I just scan everything at the end. Not really any different than going to self checkout.

I also use checkout as a time to organize my groceries for unloading at home.

off topic, but how many actual non-extradition countries are there these days (for the US)?

Even countries we have strained relationships with will extradite as part of a negotiation when it's convenient for them politically.

Russia probably wouldn't have even kept Snowden if it wasn't state secrets he revealed.

> You can already easily just put stuff in your pocket or ring expensive items up as incorrect, cheaper things

This is actually already somewhat solved. The other day I was at a Safeway and one carton of milk had an unreadable label so I scanned a different carton and put the unreadable one in the bag instead (same product). The system showed me a video of me doing that, highlighting the fact that I didn't put the item I scanned on the bag (!) and asked me to wait for an assistant. Pretty impressive.
Yeah that one, I typed that from memory.
> From what I can tell The Crew is an online game? What am I missing here.

The main selling point of The Crew was the large, open-world map. All people I know who played that game completely disregarded any multiplayer features (of which there was not that many, at most amounting to co-op throughout the game's campaign).

> I feel like it is well understood that an online game, like Fortnite, WoW, whatever requires a server to work and may at some point stop working.

For most online games, it is absolutely possible to provide basic server functionality, even for MMOs like WoW. See another comment I wrote on here about CSGO/CS2. WoW (and Fortnite i think?) are in a different class than The Crew since they follow a subscription model, where it is more obvious that you do not own the game.
I appreciate the effort. I think manual, menial labor is pushed very hard in the US today.

One thing that really bothers me is that older stock is not brought to the front and they just push it back with the new stuff.

It's doubly frustrating because sometimes products change so you'll find what you're looking for after digging through three layers of assorted items.

I don't really blame the apathy directly, but there are doubtless solutions over the horizon.
Ask HN: Simple tool for cross-posting on social media?
My friend runs a local poetry night and currently posts scheduling updates and things on Instagram. I'm looking for a simple way to send one post and have it show up on instagram, twitter, and maybe some other platforms

Most of the tools I'm finding are aimed at professional marketers and have tons of extra features like impression tracking that we don't need. And they're not always free either

It seems simple to just hook up the various basic APIs, so I'm hoping someone out there has done this and posted it on github or something
I guess it depends on what I’m looking for

But usually yes, most of the times the search case is:

* I have an id/uuid or some text or a piece of some id/text

* there are multiple log files, each for a different process/daemon/app which handle different parts of a workflow

* I have to grep each log file individually and then piece things together to figure out how the workflow went for some usage/user

Usually there is a lot of back-and-forth between the log files and the grep commands to find the info I need, especially if what I’m looking for is not an id/uuid
Ugh, I am not claiming that LLMs are not great innovation. Just that they are not going to replace SWE jobs in our(maybe my) lifetime.

it's also sucky because we're in a rightfully very negative EV environment. Fisker Ocean sucks, Cybertruck is good? but rusting?, nobody buys the Lucid, Rivians are great but lose ~80k USD per unit for Rivian, BYD and Evergrande EV cars are filling up junkyards in china...

Canoo is one of a few EV companies that on paper should make it. They have an order book that takes them to profitability. They have alpha vehicles that work (aka the product is not science fiction). Since they're selling these primarily as fleet vehicles, it's pretty valid to believe that the typical consumer EV concerns (range anxiety, nonfunctional/overbooked chargers, I live in an apartment, etc) should apply, their customers have the capital to spend, and can even easily calculate depreciation and expected benefit over existing fleet inventory.

100% of the risk in the company is manufacturing risk + not fucking up the finances e.g. by going too far into debt where the product payout doesn't make sense. That's a pretty nice place to be for being an EV company in the market now.

Its probably an indicator of the EV market as a whole reaching a saturation point with current tech.

Anybody who wants an EV and can afford 45K+ already have one. The rest are either waiting for the next jump in battery tech from the current 250-300 mile max range, a price drop or living in an apartment.

Ultimately, EVs will win out due to their simpler architecture and general convenience but its likely 10 years out.

I’m gonna cry survivorship bias here. How do we know how many similar attempts succeeded? How many of the ones discovered have been written off as honest mistakes? How can we know for sure that e.g. Heartbleed wasn’t put there by someone on purpose (and that that someone isn’t filthy rich now)?

When you get hired to a private company, they know who you are. That’s an immediate deterrent against trying anything funny. On Github, no one knows who you are. It might be harder to backdoor a project without getting noticed, but there is no risk to getting noticed. You can try as many times as you like. Jia Tan is still at large, and didn’t even have to plan their whole life around living in a non-extraditing country (if they aren’t in one already).

Imho those permission systems are still too rudimentary and too non-automated. Instead of CLI flags I would like to see permission enforced at dependency boundaries, e.g.

There's no way OWASP don't know the difference between "the [entire] Internet" and "our website". I believe their intentions are to tone down the fear that people may have. It's gaslighting.
MBA is mainly for connections. It gets you into companies that require an MBA (solely as a signal that you are willing to play the game), which then gives you exposure to how things are done in the real world, which then lets you leverage people and networks to either rise through the company or start your own in the sense of you just being the person who directs who should do what, while getting paid to do that.

However, I've seen some definitely dodgy packages in NuGet. Since "bulk insert" isn't (wasn't?) widely supported in EntityFramework packages, there were some extremely dodgy copies of commercial bulk insert frameworks being made available, along which who knows what else.

I find npm/node.js the scariest package manager combo though. Including something simple that then drags in 20 or 30 other packages is inexplicable.
What do you mean by "we´ve already paid for the API"? Did Suno announce an API coming soon?
Fair enough. Start by reading about the history of Yemen and the last Zaydi Imamate, the Mutawakkilite Kingdom, which was overthrown in the 1960s. The Mutawakkilites operated a caste system, in which Zaydi Hashemites (people who can trace their family tree back to the 3rd Imam of Shi'ism) were considered racially superior, and black-skinned Yemenis (the search you want here is "Akhdam") were untouchables.

This whole system was abolished, and the country that hosted it (North Yemen, later the Yemen Arab Republic) was annexed into greater Yemen. Notably --- given your previous comment about the legitimacy of Houthi violence against Sunnis --- Yemen is a Sunni country (Zaydi Islam sits somewhere between Sunni and Shia Islam, and historically the Zaydis and Sunnis have gotten on reasonably well in Yemen).

The Houthi movement is named for Hussein al-Houthi. He was the son of Badreddin al-Houthi, a famous Zaydi scholar, but was not himself a cleric. The movement has two basic principles: the restoration of a Mutawakkilite-style Imamate (first in Yemen and then globally), and the marrying of Zaydi theological ideas with Khomeinism: specifically, the violent overthrow of the existing order. The Houthis are modeled on Hizbollah and trained in and supported by Iran.

If you want sourcing for Houthi treatment of Yemen's Sunni majority, you'll easily find that at the UNHCR web site.

Regarding my claim that they're a fascist movement:

* They're a mass movement led by a charismatic strong-man leader

* They have an explicit racial hierarchy

* They're xenophobic to the point of having restored chattel slavery of Africans

* They're right-wing authoritarian theocrats

* They glorify violence

* They are a reactionary response to the liberalization of Yemen that occurred in the late 1990s and early 2000s, after Yemen got punished by the rest of the Arab world for supporting Saddam Hussein in the first Gulf War

* They operate a cult of tradition harkening back to a centuries old Imamate that ruled the area, including notions of permanent warfare, marytrdom, and machismo.

Whether you work from Stanley Payne's definition or Umberto Eco's, the Houthi movement is an according-to-Hoyle fascist organization.

I've given specific enough details that you should be able to Google these points and find sourcing on the first search page. I recommend reading things from before 2023. Everything you'll read after 2023 is, of course, hostile to the Houthis because they're trying to spark an international crisis. But that wasn't the case before October 7th, and people were raising alarms about these people long before they decided to pretend they were helping Gaza.

Again: it is wild that people find themselves sticking up for these people. They're not anti-imperialists. They're not on your side. You do not, in fact, have to hand it to them.

Site is static built using Jekyll. Voicemail inbox is hosted using VoIP.ms. I pull the voicemails manually by running a Python script, edit the Markdown file that the script spits out to add a memo, then run another script to build and upload the site to Neocities.

I thought about making a dedicated "app" for all of it, but why make it more complicated than it has to be. I manually moderate all the calls anyway, so I just stuck with a simple smattering of scripts and static hosting.

While it's interesting to philosophize about alternatives like this and it's seemingly obviously true that there's no trivial solution to maintainership that solves all problems perfectly, I'm a little wary about presenting these flawed approaches as somehow equivalent; I highly doubt they're even remotely equally bad - nor that they have equally big upsides.

I noticed that paper they link to was the first one to find new periodic orbits in the three body problem in a long time which confirms what I’ve believed for a long time which is that nonlinear mechanics is badly underresearched.
>simulate all sorts of things... even entire universes

You also assumed that chaos is a measurement problem. You could simulate entire universe if you knew the initial conditions sufficiently enough. There were two nice recent papers[1][2] that showed in order to predict some orbits you'll need an accuracy less of Planck length or else some systems are fundamentally unpredictable.

You can read the DMA yourself. In fact, you should read the DMA yourself and not rely on what EC commissioners say on their social media accounts. The EU court of justice can and will throw their rulings and fines out the window when (not if) they overstep their authority to score popularity points.

If Apple were to create an OS from scratch tomorrow, and that OS was subject to the DMA on day 1, they probably would not be allowed to do many of the things that Apple does in iOS. But the DMA can never apply to an OS on day 1 and the DMA cannot force Apple to roll back many of their security features once an OS becomes subject to the DMA. It’s all in the text of the DMA. Read it.

Great to see more projects in the 3D graphics/WASM space! Any tips for getting into YC?

For context, my team has spent the past few years porting Unreal Engine 5 to WebGPU and WebAssembly - we have a multi-threaded renderer as well as an asset streaming system that fetches in at runtime asynchronously (as needed) so users don't need to download an entire game/app upfront. This also frees up needing to have the whole application in memory at once. We've also built out a whole hosting platform and backend for developers to deploy their projects to online.

ok so now i am really confused. on one hand you are talking about live updating websites without rebuild and providing the assets as an api, but then you commit the root hash of the floro repo into the git repo. so your production website loads whatever latest asset version from a floro api endpoint and my repo state is not a snapshot anymore of what what the page will look like on production? in that case why do the repo connection at all? isnt floro then much more a cms / custom database with versioning for translations/ assets/ colors than an extension of the repo side?

Our adversaries aren't going to extradite their citizens to the west. And obviously if it's a state-level actor they aren't going to extradite their own actors.

As someone old enough to remember the tail end of the early hacker eras (e.g. Mitnick), I don't think anyone SHOULD be extradited over this, in particular if they're not being charged with actually using the exploit. Prosecute them where they live. Should they be prosecuted 193 times over in every state on Earth? What's the nexus? Github? Every server that installed the compromised xz utils?

But you are right they will deport (not extradite) foreigners who are inconvenient to them or when it is politically expedient to do so, if the foreigners are a nuisance, or as part of a political negotiation or prisoner exchange.

The whole "extradition treaties" meme is a misconception. You will only get extradited if you flee to a country where you are a citizen (even dual citizen), or the ability to assert citizenship/nationality there. A fugitive fleeing to a country without an extradition treaty is subject to deportation. Every country on earth reserves the right to deny entry to or deport foreign fugitives. They might choose not to if someone is found to be a refugee, subject to the death penalty in a non-death-penalty state, etc.

To take Cage's investigations into "silence" further, he sat in an anechoic chamber - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anechoic_chamber - and afterwards remarked to the technician that he heard a high whine and a low rumble so there must have been an issue with the soundproofing. The technician told him that the high whine was his nervous system and the low rumble was his bloodflow.
