Some generative stuff will be more discernible than others.

The ones that don't even try to emulate the full experience of having a real artist involved will have a lot less friction.

Former anthropologist (through to PhD, anyhow) here. I think there is benefit in having simpler theories, because they are easier to test. There are so many limitations in getting adequate data to test historical theories anyway... I am always skeptical that what we have is a "just so" story that of course fits the data, since people knew the general shape of the data before proposing the theory.
This function would use an anonymous record:

> Just have exact change in hand!

Easy enough in places that incorporate tax into the list price, but this is next to impossible in the US. You'd have to know what the city, county, and state sales taxes add up to (accounting for any products that have a different sales tax than others!) and then do the math with the weirdly specific percentage(s) that results (again, taking into account that some items are taxed differently!) to come up with your exact change.

Try doing that with a week's worth of groceries.

I've never had the opportunity to write code for a compiler but it's something that's always been pretty interesting to me so I decided to write a little toy calculator:

calc("1 + 3 / 5")

It was a pretty fun project as you get to do some parsing/lexing, work out how to execute it (function ordering etc.) and then have lots of fun little avenues you can go down (brackets for specifying execution order, adding more functions, arbitrary precision maths etc.)
I really like that I can use 1Password for this. My biggest gripe is that it doesn't quite work yet in my main use case (Kagi's Orion on iOS. Ideally it would use Apple's API, not the 1Password browser extension, to use the OS setting that is set to use passkeys from 1Password rather than the iCloud keychain. I'm not precisely sure where the process is broken; but it doesn't work that way nor with the browser extension.)

This has been my personal experience as well.

UPI payments in India have enabled seamless mobile payments through qr code scanning.

Since the bank account is debited directly, it is difficult to get an idea of monthly spending until we check the account statement and it is easy to overspend.

Ever since I've started using UPI lite which is a prepaid wallet that has limits on both max prepaid balance and max amount per transaction, I guess the extra friction and the very visible balance made me rethink some purchases.
People downvote personal experience, factually correct statements etc. all the time here. I also find it confusing.

However, when you're 5 miles away from the surface of a black hole, you would be inside the sun, so the shape will be different. We are not comparing equal distances from the center of mass, but equal distances from the surface; which are different distances! Only if you are the same distance from the sun as from a black hole, what you say is correct. But then you will be much farther away from the black hole than in this example.
> Interactive examples have been added to the documentation, allowing users to run the examples locally on embedded Jupyterlite notebooks in their browser.

This might sound strange, but to me this is pretty exciting.

I've been looking for ways to include _interactive_ Python scripts on static webpages (such as those made using Jupyter Book [1] or Quarto [1]. Up to now the only way I knew how to run Jupyter notebooks on those pages was through, e.g., Binder or Google Colab or some other separate hosted service. I was at the point of giving up on Python and simply learning Javascript.

But now it seems that Pyodide [3] and Jupyterlite [4] are filling that gap. I'm looking forward to trying this out on some static websites.

So having a health database, drivers license database, social security, banking etc are all ok but creating a proper national ID system would somehow push it over the edge to where an authoritarian government can come about and take control of our lives?

Your argument boils down to “let’s purposely make our government inefficient because it might one day turn on us”

Which, judging from other countries, is actually the opposite of what happens.

The worst offenders of human rights and government overreach are the ones that don’t have their shit together.

Split ergonomic keyboards have wrapped all the way around to the simplest possible solution - they have so few keys that each one can simply be connected directly to its own dedicated pin on the microcontroller, no diodes or matrix scanning required.

e.g. the Ferris Sweep: https://github.com/davidphilipbarr/Sweep

That has 17 keys per side, which is the most you can do with the 18 GPIOs broken out by the popular Pro Micro modules, but with something like the RP2040 you could scale it up to 29 keys per side if desired.
Is there any way in which a passkey is better than a U2F hardware key?
Maybe people don‘t because they see, for example, Valve (a billion dollar company) struggling to get GNOME to implement drm-leasing for VR headsets. IIRC they‘ve been at it for multiple years, too.

Or maybe it‘s because the compositor developers are not exactly concerned about ease of development.
To quote a GNOME dev[0] about support for the aforementioned drm-leasing protocol:

> I honestly don't have a problem with forcing clients to implement the portal if they want to work on mutter.

I wouldn‘t blame the people who choose to simply not engage with that process, especially those who work on these things in their free time.

Nope. Non-resident keys work differently. You register the public key with the service, then you encrypt the private key (via wrapping but that’s beyond the point here) with private key stored on your hardware token and send the encrypted blob to the service, too.

When you need to authenticate, service sends you the encrypted blob, you decrypt it using the key on hardware token and obtain the private key. Than you do (more or less traditional) public key authentication.

So, you don’t need to manage your private keys. Services do it for you.

Scraping 6 million HN posts (out of a total of 40 million, 6M = some ~3 years of posts) and embedding them with openAI's text embedding models.

Making these full-text and fuzzy searchable with Postgres+pgvector, using reciprocal rank fusion to merge the two rankings. Very rapid query times on a 6 year old intel NUC; a kind of hn.algolia.com search only with added semantic search, not just text search.

Reducing the dimensionality for average per-user and per-submissoon vectors to 3D with UMAP, to see where my posts are located, in "hn discussion space". (expectedly, some users such occupy very specific clusters in discussion-space. There's a "dang telling you to please keep it intellectually stimulating" corner)

I should slap a frontend on the latter, host it somewhere not inside my own house and submit it, honestly.

The linked article seems to take a different normative position than the research paper. A more neutral tone would be okay if they agreed. But the author is explicitly distancing themselves from any implication that they agree that it is good to deprogram so-called conspiracy theorist.

The alternative would be to sarcastically agree/celebrate the research. Which wouldn’t necessarily be obvious to everyone. But perhaps not intellectually insulting?
As an American, this concept still makes no sense to me. It's public infrastructure of a sort, don't real estate taxes in the surrounding area pay for upkeep and repairs?

Brilliant game dynamic, and it’s so elegant that the human must solve the maze. The computer never does anything “heavy”!
I think this is all 100% true. But I would add that what looks good is, for many sports, also what does get you the best results. Most of all combat athletes in sports with weight limits do look like fitness influencers, because they're incentivized to pack as much muscle and cardio into as small a mass as possible. Of course there are plenty of exceptions, but they are exceptions.

The same also seems true in football/soccer for reasons that I don't quite understand. It wasn't ever really my sport, and I don't get why those guys are so shredded everywhere. I'd expect to see more 'runner builds' than there seem to be. I guess the necessity for short bursts of intense strength/speed, and rolling 40 feet on the ground after somebody grazes you, changes the optimal body comp.
I always chime in to say that mixing capitalism with human morbidity and mortality always results in a sort of macabre humor.

If you can't get a price for a service upfront, then you can't know whether or not you can afford that service. And if your life literally depends on that service, then what is the elasticity of demand? The stakes aren't always so high, but sometimes they are, and even in low-stakes situations, like trying to get an x-ray, no one can ever tell me what it's going to cost; they look at me like I'm stupid for asking.
Is everything priced in round numbers after tax too?

The WoT has been defunct in PGP for over 4 years at this point[1]. It was also never a particularly good solution to this problem, because it (1) was itself largely unauthenticated and blindly trusted by relying parties, much like a normal key directory, and (2) failed to encode what key holding parties were trusted for (the classic example being that I absolutely trust party A to do C for me, but this does not imply that I want to encourage networked party B to trust A for D). And of course the keyserver birthday attacks and DoS, as cherries on top :-)

(I think WoTs can solve these problems. But PGP's implementation has been so far the most ambitious tried by a semi-large audience, and it didn't hold up. We need a better starting point.)

I've built this Chrome Extension because I have previously worked for globally distributed companies, and I know how tedious it is to deal with different time zones.

With this extension, you'll be able to set all the time zones you need to deal with and check them whenever you need it.

It's completely free to use and I hope it helps.

Did the rule change that it can no longer show up regardless of timeframe on a credit score? I believe in the US it used to be 1 year after being overdue.

Anyhow, given that it now no longer shows up, what's the point of paying it?
As a JS dev I'm always shocked by the amount of variance and the lack of best practices in JS codebases...

Others will disagree, but I'd argue there are no real agreed on best practices like you might find in languages like Java in the JS/React world. Counter intuitively the JS community will often back away from tried and tested approaches since these get labeled as stale and boring so devs will often prefer to use whatever the hot new thing is when they spin up a new project.

There will be some no-nos though. If you're following a tutorial from more than a few years ago they might not be using React hooks, for example. Next.js is also starting to become fairly industry standard these days so that would also be a good shout in most cases.
While not a top athlete I have personal experience with this as "desk worker" at SpaceX, Google etc who went from being chubby to being lean

You can read (most) of the story here
https://ravinkumar.com/WhyFitness.html#WhyFitness

But in summary I'd say, exercise is great, getting lean isn't necessarily great. In this picture three years ago I was the leanest I ever was, which like the article says, looks great, but doesn't always feel great. I wasn't even body builder lean which would have been a new level of suffering.

Since then I've put on fat again, not as much as before, but enough to be a point where I'm happy with where I look, I don't need to track macros etc.

My suggestion is use the influencers as motivation, but unless you really want to sacrifice a lot don't try to be them. But no matter how you look, exercising has a number of positive effects and I'm very happy to have reversed the trend in my late 20's. Even though I don't get paid to look good at my job, feeling great both inside and outside of my job has changed my life
What do you mean by "right click menu, top bar on explorer, outlook, etc"?

Do you mean, "Why can I right-click, click a button, select form a menu, or use a keyboard shortcut?"

If that is what you mean, then it's existed a LOT longer than just Windows 11 - multiple paths to the same outcome have existed in UI for many decades: the [semi] common initialism is TMTOWTDI (There's More Than One Way To Do It)

And you offer multiple paths so you can be accessed by as many people as possible

Is it redundant to have a Copy button, be able to press Ctrl-C, go to Edit -> Copy, and right-click -> Copy?

Of course!

But it's also free to do.

Why not offer multiple ways to accomplish the same thing?

Doesn't surprise me. The USPS is doing some idiotic things with their Informed Delivery emails that I get every morning.

Sometimes they contain inbound and outbound tracking links. If I click on a tracking link, I land on a webpage that requires me to log in. That's annoying. So I copy-and-paste that tracking code into Google, and Google gives me a link that does not require me to log in.

The USPS has trained people to happily provide authentication information whenever someone pretends to be the USPS. No wonder scammers are abusing it.
> Because it's really hard to take away something that is legal.

I agree, it is really hard to take something away that is established. About 10% of germans consume Cannabis at least once a year even though it is illegal. [1]

Keeping cannabis illegal has the same effect as prohibition of alcohol: higher substance concentration, more black market and greater health risks by acquisition through dubios sources.

I find it more preferable to setup bash (or whatever shell you are using) to append into .BASH_HISTORY file at every command. You don't always remember on which tab/pane/window you type which command and most people would do Ctrl + R or use a fuzzy search tool anyway.

Also many times you open a new tab/pane/window and would like to access the history of another one who is already busy running a job so a common history is usually preferrable.

YMMV of course.

Both great points! Extism docs assume some level of familiarity with the security model of WebAssembly. Which unless you grant it granular permission, does mitigate the risks you’ve mentioned.
