I wish I could look at things like this without cynacism anymore. I just dont see any value here. The biggest issue witb earbuds to me and i suspect many others. Is that earbuds are easy to drop/lose/break. The nature of the product exposes it to water,sun,body fluid.

Ill have long replaced them before i need a new battery due to degredation. Wireless earbuds are a massivly oveesaturated market and you can get comparable earbuds for <$20.

I suspect this is fair co losing its way and engaging in blatent greenwashing.
if `twitter.com` is mapped to `x.com`, then a link `carfatwitter.com` will go to the non-malicious `carfax.com`, so registering `carfatwitter.com` seems to be just a stunt. When would `carfax.com` redirect to `carfatwitter.com`? Urls with `twitter.com` in the name are affected, not urls with `x.com` in the name.

edit: from the responses looks like I was wrong; the urls still point to `carfatwitter.com`. Leaving my comment up in case others were confused like me.
Ollama (which wraps llama.cpp) supports splitting a model across devices so you get some acceleration even on models too big to fit entirely in GPU memory.

"Full RT" means the game uses 100% raytracing for rendering (in some mode), which currently needs still far too much power to be a mainstream thing and is only added in a few games to show the prowess of the engine (IIRC a review of the Cyberpunk 2077 Full RT mode only a 4090 is really able to provide the power needed). The important entry is "yes", which shows far more entries and means there's Raytracing enhancements in addition to rasterization.

So, no, it's quite the opposite of what you stated: RT gets more important all the time, is not a gimmick and there's zero reason to assume it will be dropped in the future.
That just looks wrong to me.

I want to be able to control my risk. 61 tb in one disk sounds just wrong to me.

Why is no one building and providing case + select your controller chip + flash chips?

In worst case pre soldered with an easy resolder setup for companies big enough to do it themselves, easy enough for hobbists to fix it themselves.

Then make 'filesystem/storagesystem' system aware so it can move files to certain chips or let the controller do it for you.

Would be a great base layer.
Someone seriously did a s/twitter/x/g seemingly (or the raw string replace equivalent). Maybe there are more requirements here, but it seems like just parsing a URL and checking for `twitter.com` and some other literal domains instead of sub strings would have been completely fine.
It just transfers part of the complexity to “I have to know this will send CVS” and “which flavor of CVS?” and “what will the CVS columns be?”, and so on. In the end, you still have to know the format, and, as opposed to a programming-language library API, it’s less discoverable, tends to be less documented, and mostly untyped (a Python API could at least be gradually-typed).
I also believe that there is a culture of not actually firing people who do stupid things like this.

A mistake is one thing, but negligence is another.

Beyond that, whoever allows customer data to be freely accessed and used in cases like this should also be fired.

Start culling those who are doing the job poorly to start making space for others who may be able to do it properly.
Ansible is great even for simple single-host 'shell scripts'.

Lean into the module ecosystem. Want to ensure a config file is a certain way? Jinja/template it, or use lineinfile instead of echo/shell redirects.

That's a lot of mumbo-jumbo. The point is, there's a lot of stuff scripts want to do. Ansible provides these as modules. Using the modules spares you from writing code to do something in a robust/repeatable way.

The 'line in a file' example is a good case, IMO. A shell script with redirection either requires specific code to look first, or simply endlessly append. With Ansible you don't have to do all of that.

Your script needs to do something when something changed? Ansible has you covered: handlers!

Python is right within reach too. I find it a way to write Python via YML, basically.
Nearly a year into the rebrand x.com still redirects to twitter.com, rather than vice versa, which you'd think would be the first thing they'd want to fix.

The technique only works on CSP and flip-chip packaged devices. These are chips that are basically bare silicon die that are bonded onto PCBs or substrates.

This package type is fairly popular in mobile phones and many types of CPUs.

The technique does not see through regular black plastic IC packages.
Economics is funny because its very anti complex math. For the local economics (household even company level) that makes total sense but for anyone doing research or systems modeling for things bigger than a company the total distain for calculus and non-equilibrium systems really prevents any discussion. I think its because if you remove stability most of supply and demand arguments fall apart. Its crazy because stable systems are extremely rare in natural complex systems its weird to apply it to large parts of economics as a given.

But here I'd caution against the idea that banks (not even central) cannot increase money supply because that's not really true. If a Bank is the backer of both sides of loans or engage in fractional reserve banks (i.e all banks), they can effectively increase money supply which in my opinion is equal to printing money. Especially since in the loan case, the loan is not necessarily a guaranteed asset (think cars in a crash). This effect is called the money multiplier effect via fractional reserve banking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93_Va7I7Lgg

The multiplier is more of ceiling to the amplification rather than it actually happening on loans. None of this necessarily bad loans and investment are really important to other parts of economics but none of it is simple and non of it is stable in the traditional sense
Not it’s not at all. Do you turn a computer or tv off by pulling the cord? No, you turn it off by a switch/button or in the GUI if it has one. I’m from the US.

If you had a stero system at your house you would not pull the cord to turn it off. Wow.
CF doesn’t make any guarantees about the durability of in-memory state, but state stored in the durable KV store that each object gets is persisted indefinitely.

A useful pattern is to use the in-memory state as a cache, loading the state from the KV on initialization, and then only hitting the KV again for writes.
Please, get qualtrics datapoints. It's...crazy.
> He also wants to make X into an "everything" app where you'll do shopping, calls, chat with friends, send payments, etc. And if that was pulled off successfully it doesn't seem like the craziest thing to distance from the Twitter brand which has long been associated as an app primarily for news and shitposting? But he has a long way to go to get people to think of it as anything other than what it was before. Everyone on the platform is still calling it Twitter and refers to posts as tweets.

I feel like the way to go there would have been closer to the Meta/Facebook brand hierarchy.

X is the platform / super app and Twitter is the first app within X. Twitter accounts become X accounts but you still use them to Tweet on Twitter.

The destruction of the Twitter branding seems more out of spite than business development goals. Really the whole follow through of the Twitter purchase reeks of spite and destruction rather than building something new of value.

But I'm not a successful billionaire so I'm probably wrong.
Making TypeScript's mapped types work via identity rather than structure
Reading between the lines - it sounds like our agricultural system can't be bothered to heat the chicken waste hot enough to kill off pathogens, before serving it up to the next set of animals down their feed chain.

But the article says not a word about that. Even though the it lays out that pasteurization of the milk is believed to kill the bird flu virus.

(Admittedly - I would not expect any modern American newspaper to know about, care about, or mention any plausible solutions to any serious problems which they happened to be writing about.)
I vastly, hugely, enormously prefer that pattern. It’s not as pretty as the blog post, but it’s so explicit and easy to understand at a glance. If I’d never heard of csvbase or fsspec before seeing that code, I’d still know what to look for and how to debug it.

At 2PM when I’m well rested, caffeinated, and alert, the original code is clever and lovely. At 2AM, I want this kind of easy to understand explicitness.
> some intern's 3am idea

I think you mean "Elon Musks random demand".
Presumptuously:

It's stupid and irrational because this wasn't a decision that was made based on reason - it was an emotional one. Elon is a bag-holder. He bought x.com in the dotcom boom and doesn't want to admit that the domain he paid a good chunk of money for is worthless - hence the (failed) attempt to make a brand out of it.
While it is true that Cassandra and Kafka are great software that countless developers rely on to handle massive scale...

It is also true that the JVM and the GC are a bottleneck in what they are able to offer. Scylla and Redpanda's pitch is "we are like this essential piece of software, but without the JVM and GC".

Of course, having a database written in Go still has its pros and cons, so each to their own.
The point is not to double the amount of work to reduce errors. The point is to record both where money came from and where it went to. This simplifies analysis, reporting, etc. down the line.

The fundamental unit of a double-entry system is the transaction, which records from where things came and to where they went. In software parlance, it's an event-sourced system rather than the stateful/interactive system of single-entry accounting.
While it's true that ffmpeg's license doesn't require you to release the source code of your application, ffmpeg is GPL, and so it's in good form to also make your application open source.

You can still charge for it just as you do now, but it will also give your users the essential freedoms they deserve.

You wouldn't be able to build this tool so easily without the commons of the open source projects you're building upon, and so it seems fair for you to also contribute back to the same commons.
It was my mother's idea...

Very clearly I have no idea about what goes on in his head, anyone's head for what matters... But when I compare my upbringing with his, I cannot understand how is it that this happen. I had so little, and struggle so much compared to him, and it's him the one giving up on life before even trying? This is thought that hunts me the most.

Feels like giving someone way too much of anything just cripples the process of understanding the struggle as a beautiful part of the process to be something, overcome something, feel something...

All his life has been in front of screens, talking to strangers, bites of information he digests after the digital rendition of a human voice has been transferred from across the internet. There is no beauty in this way of life. No wonder kinds have no feeling for what the world has to offer, unless it's coming from an Instagram influencer.
So far I really haven't seen anyone seriously call it just X. Most news orgs seem to resort to "X (formerly Twitter)" or similar. Some still call it Twitter, not even an acknowledgement that it's been renamed. At least Meta had the sense to just change their app splashscreens and such (e.g. Facebook by Meta). And it seems that Alphabet doesn't make any effort to make their presence known.
Theoretical CS is basically a branch of applied math
After reading the article and the comments, I’m still not sure if TFA means “API” in the HTTP/REST sense or in the programming-language library sense.
I consider this to be an embarrassing property of modern networking. A network switch that tracks and enforces the mapping between addresses and ports, blocks spoofed packets, ensures fair allocation of DHCP leases, and enforces fair allocation of bandwidth out to be available out of the box from any credible vendor. None of this is conceptually difficult, and all the building blocks are available in somewhat standardized form. But for some reason, port security is an exotic enterprise-y set of features rather than something one can deploy out of the box.

Or an NVR deployment could use 802.1BR to isolate all the cameras.

I’m a firm believer in endpoint security — endpoints should not need to trust the network for authentication or authorization when communicating with each other. But the network really ought to be able to do its job despite attacks by rogue endpoints or someone compromising a single piece of network infrastructure, and the network’s job is to maintain reliable connectivity.
This is the only real answer. You wouldn't buy a 29.8GB stick of RAM, and because of the addressing it wouldn't work very well. But marketers can get away with a 29.8GB stick of flash, so they do and sell that as 32GB.
I’m confused how this can be used for phishing?

I mean, it sounds like your kids are just following the example you set. They're watching you sit in front of a screen as a form of recreation and they're simply doing the same. I think it's also worth noting that your hobbies are solo activities, so even if your kids did want to connect with you in a non-screen hobby, you'd be unavailable anyways. Maybe you could make the first move and invite them to do something outside with you?
There are hundreds of similar QR code builders, mostly for web (like this one, despite being labeled "cross-platform"). All equally crappy, as they try to monetize such a simple and widespread encoding to the unaware audience. Some of them put their own redirect links into encoded QR codes (which may stop working), and some charge for "advanced" features.

"Pay 200$/year and generate QR codes on up to 5 devices", really?

I don't mind competition, but this sort of "startups" always feels like cheating.
I think it's because when we get to know other people IRL what they say is of secondary importance to how we perceive their intentions and motives. These determine how we feel about a person. They're subjective and hard to ascertain on the basis of written text alone.

So as a matter of caution we tend to impute bad motives to people we can't 'feel' clearly which means any textual claims made are subject to unnaturally high levels of scrutiny and demands for evidence/documentation.

Also the internet is forever whilst IRL conversation is throwaway.
Reasonably priced Epyc systems with up to 12 memory channels and support for several TB of system memory are now available. Used datacenter hardware is even less expensive. They are on par with the memory bandwidth available to any one of the CPU, GPU, or NPU in the highest end Macs, but capable of driving MUCH more memory. And much simpler to run Linux or Windows on.

> security needs to be the easiest path. If it is not, then that is the fault of the Security folks; not the end user.

There's truth to what you say, but you're blaming the wrong crowd. Security people are rarely (if ever) the same people that are creating the tools and the security features of the tools you're using. In most cases, I'm powerless as a security engineer to "make security easy to use", the only thing I could do in that regard would be to loosen our security requirements and make our systems less secure, which isn't what you want either.

IMO the problem is more that when developing products, security (and ease of security) is still not seen as that important of a feature (if its even seen as a feature at all and not an annoying cost that the product managers have to deal with). In our application security group, we actually do have requirements that any new product being built must have certain security features that make it easier to secure things, but those requirements are often some of the very first things that the product development teams try to justify delaying or ignoring.
> if you don't like these products and feel they are negative, then don't use them. Restrict your children's access to these platforms.

That's not going to fix the echo chambers, divisive conspiracy groups, anti semitic posts and generally all the other terrible uses for online platforms that contribute to the destabilization of our society.

You can't make a social problem go away by telling individuals "if you don't like this problem please avoid it". Similarly, you can't expect to tell people "the effects of methamphetamine are negative for our entire society so please don't partake". For problems that become a state, country or even world problem, something else is needed.
> But I grew up in a world where computers do all of the math, and it always looks to me like it's violating the Don't Repeat Yourself principle. If you say the same thing in two different places, one of them is always going to be wrong.

This is wrong on a couple of levels.

In your understanding do RAID disk arrays and backups violate “the Don’t Repeat Yourself principle”? Is one of the copies of the data guaranteed to be wrong? Do data backups duplicate data because of pre-modern thinking?

But on another level it’s irrelevant, because in double-entry bookkeeping, there is no duplication of information. If you buy an apple for a dollar, your journal entry will mark a dollar out of cash — which is true because you now have 1 less dollar — and a dollar against your “Food” expense account — which is true because the thing you just spent a dollar on was food. If you took away either entry, you would be losing information. The fact that both entries have to balance isn’t because of duplication, it’s because the same dollar can't exist in more than one place at a time, which is axiomatically true regardless of whether you use a computer.
I only highlighted the tip of the iceberg where the behaviour is not limited to Twitter and wasn't even political. And whether the world is better or not than 3 decades ago is not really the topic here, it is about mental health and how it has become worse over the past decade and whether that can be attributed to social media.
Reusing passwords: The hidden cost of convenience
Is there any other option to post the job besides Google Docs, which requires a Google Account?

Does the company have a website?
It's not redirecting but rather rewriting of the URL.

e.g "https://twitter.com/{acc}/status/{id}" -> "https://x.com/{acc}/status/{id}".

So if you post "https://carfatwitter.com/scam" it will be rewritten to "https://carfax.com/scam". Essentially search and replace of twitter.com -> x.com, 's/x.com/twitter.com/g'.
Show HN: I Built an AI Drone Controller
Hey HN! I'm someone who both flies and programs drones. I've often struggled to make my drones perform perfectly, especially when the environment changes like a gust of wind.

To solve this, I’ve trained ML Models to replace the Control Loops currently in charge of controlling most drones. These models perform better than Control Loops, require no tuning, and retain this performance in many more situations than Control Loops.

Requiring no tuning also means that the same model can be used for multiple different drones/configurations, so it works out of the box.

A high level model is also trained to perform obstacle avoidance and navigational pathfinding.

Check out the demo: https://youtu.be/fWgD7tjZugY

I'd love to hear any feedback or questions you might have! Thanks :)
> The Service Formerly Known As Twitter

Was thinking almost exactly this while reading a recent BBC article — their style guide appears to be that the company's name is "X, formerly Twitter,"
I infer that the display was getting rewritten, but the underlying target of the link would not. So if you posted "carfatwitter.com", the UI would display "carfax.com" but the underlying link would still go to "carfatwitter.com".

Note I have no direct experience with this, it's just the only way this makes sense as a phishing vector. The alternative is that it is being presented as a phishing vector, but was never actually useful as such, and people are just jumping up to yell about a security issue without it actually being one. That happens too.
Thanks, Jia!
> Revenge for being forced to honor his word at buying Twitter, he made them regret it by killing it.

This makes no sense. The court forced him to pay the shareholders the agreed upon price. Consequently, the shareholders were paid, and now they're no longer shareholders. Why would they regret that?
Given just the two accounts you have, your goals are impossible to achieve, because Assets = Liabilities, so you cannot have one more than zero and the other zero.

I think in this problem hides two mistakes:

- Zero liabilities is not a reasonable goal for most people.

- There's an equity account type also. (Also income and expense accounts.)
The links themselves are unchanged, just how they display. So if you type carfatwitter.com in a tweet, then it will display as carfax.com, but if you click on the link, it will still redirect you to carfatwitter.com.
> she has slowly isolated herself from life and her family, she spends most of her time in her room on the phone and does weird things like get cosmetic surgeries, ordering cosmetics, etc. It's bizarre.

this is not the average social media user. the problem is addiction, not doing surgery to yourself. if social media was banned or age gated you would have to ban wikipedia next as its also very easy to get addicted to doing a tree traversal of interesting articles starting at the single one article you intended to read. also stack exchange. pardon my tone deafness to your tragedy, but this is a political issue, and your post is being used for political purposes. this is also a waste of my tax money and proof that taxation is theft. if i was a parent i would just be a good parent like my parents and slap my kids if they get addicted to upvoting shit on social media just as i would slap them if they get addicted to watching tv, playing arcade games (since i would provide them with real games and not gacha shit, the former which still had the addiction problem and the exact same dumb discussions in the 90s)
