> terminal puts a newline into your command, but doesn't press enter for you.

I'm having difficulty imagining this. I know of some who warn on multiline paste, but how exactly is it possible to "put a newline" but not "press enter"? Just emit a newline as output without sending as input?
I don’t understand the point of this post. Aside from missing the mark on who gen z’s parents are, the rest is nonsense. How would boomers have given their newborns (each!) $100,000? They didn’t have $1.2m then. Likely they didn’t have $100,000, especially liquid, at all. And now probably 1/3 to 1/2 of that average (and it’s only an average! Median could be much lower) is in home value, so they’re retiring on six figures of investments (and again, only on average!) which isn’t exactly great given that medical costs very much do not stop when you gain Medicare. Younger-side boomers about to retire with $1.2m total net worth are gonna spend all of what’s not tied up in housing (and maybe that too!), largely on medical and assisted-living care.

On that last sentence, I wouldn't say "something to hide". I like to think of it in terms of highlighting the difference between secret and private. There are lots of things that I'm not ashamed of, or protective of for the sake of my safety, but still have a totally valid desire to keep private. Going to the bathroom isn't secret, but it's still private.

Great read!

My exposure to Taiwan so far is very limited (9 hour visit to Taipei when I was a teenager ~15 years ago), but I remember it leaving a profound impression on me.

I think what struck me the most was how genuinely friendly people were (as in warm, not just polite). One example (of many) I observed: There was a homeless man sitting on the street selling chewing gum. A very attractive couple passed him and the woman stopped to buy a chewing gum from him. But instead of just giving him the money, she sat down next to him, negotiated the price for a bit, they had a laugh, and eventually she bought the chewing gum. I found it to be a truly beautiful display of respect for the guy's dignity.

No, but working nukes might have prevented a Russian invasion in the first place.

Russia having nukes is also a big reason NATO is tiptoeing around to avoid offending Putin too severely.
I don’t see this sort of review as aggressive or hostile; rather, it displays the sort of inductive reasoning that we should all be doing more of in the face of wondrous claims that follow a recognizable pattern.

Hype artists and bad faith actors thrive on amnesiac audiences, and it’s about time we were all a bit less credulous.
I have a theory that highly intelligent conservatives are much more competitive than cooperative and so choose careers with access to the most money/power/respect. So you'll see a lot of conservative bankers, financiers, doctors, executives, lawyers, etc. This group has an outsized desire to see lower taxes on high earners, so they are big supporters of low taxes (aka small government).

This theory explains why there are not a lot of conservative academics or scientists. Those careers are often low earning and more for the public good, so are more cooperative overall (even if they might be quite cutthroat in their own way).

It also begs the question that perhaps studying something deeply enough to get a PhD leaves a person with a perspective that is less compatible with certain viewpoints. Also, lower taxes for a college professor probably would be a net negative, as their college would be getting less government funding.

I would disagree; trauma is an incredibly well-used word in 2024.
Usually governments can't investigate crimes as such.

There's usually a police investigation, but ultimately it's a court that compels people to do things. The police can't issue subpoenas on their own.

A court is not the government. A court is the people (at least if it's an actual court, and not some fake pseudo-court).

We are simply applying names to distinct phenomena. It doesn't matter what mass is as the question is possibly meaningless. What is important is that particles behave distinctly from waves. And that knowing the mass of something is informative of its expected behavior given a set of circumstances. v=m*a. Possibly this was fact was intentionally underlined by the names given to quarks, including the fact that the behavior no longer maps into an analog in our everyday experience of phenomena so lets just use relational semantics or obscure names to defeat the urge to analogize:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Standard_Model_of_Element...

The only meaningful question around phenomena and meaning is the connection between the two.

Is mind a property of reality or emergent accident? Is matter a figment of mind or is mind a figment of matter?

If that is not what is being sought, beyond that metaphysical query the only reasonable search for meaning behind phenomena is to understand the limits to thought that a conceptual model presents the researchers, so as to avoid dead ends in research direction.

Ask HN: What is a good alternative to SendGrid?
I liked SendGrids free tier of 100 emails per day.

Unfortunately, they are forcing me to login via twilio which has really horrible on boarding (I can't get my account verified).

I was wondering if there is any other email sending service as reliable as SendGrid but also has an equally generous free tier?

I need it to primarily send emails via an API

Thanks in advance.
> Perhaps developers need to test on something other than MacBooks?

Another sign that the website you are on was only tested on macOS used to be scrollbars everywhere, since there is no visual difference between overflow: scroll and overflow: hidden. Unfortunately now the default in most places seems to be hidden scrollbars, which is great because if a page or component happens to layout just right, it will simply look like there's no more content and you'll have to rely on the user just knowing they can scroll or you have to add additional cues. If only there was some standard visual cue that could indicate that you can scroll and how far in you currently are!

(And of course, the wrong overflow values are still hiding everywhere, so it didn't really fix the problem...)

Traveling abroad can be cheaper than traveling in the U.S. Sure, you spend more money on flights than you might on gas, but you can afford to stay for a month in, say, Thailand for what you might spend on 3 nights of accommodation in the U.S, and you can eat out for all your meals on $30/day if you're savvy

That, and people in their 20s and 30s are much less likely to have kids than people of the same age group in the '90s, so the logistics around traveling abroad can be much easier. The increasing interconnectedness of the world has similarly provided much more exposure to the international world, while technology (including things like airbnb and google translate) have removed many of the barriers.

I don't think more "elder gen z" and millenials are traveling abroad because they're overall more well-off. Housing is much less affordable and I think this is part of the reason we're seeing a decline in birth rates.

Show HN: BiTE – Cross-platform executable viewer and reverse engineering tool
Hey everyone!

I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on throughout my university studies. It’s called BiTE (https://github.com/WINSDK/bite) and it's a tool primarily focused on being an executable viewer with reverse engineering capabilities.

BiTE supports Windows, MacOS, and Linux, along with their associated executable formats. It’s also capable of parsing and displaying debug information using DWARF/PDB formats, which I hope will be useful even for just comparing codegen.

I’ve put a lot of effort into this and it's the first time I'm releasing something like this publicly. Any feedback, bug reports, or feature suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
How do they plan on doing this exactly? NewPipe only parses the website and yt-dlp pretends to be Android/iOS. They can't break these in a way that wouldn't be fixable. yt-dlp already ignores the "not available on this app" video ID bait-and-switch trick.
Humane has raised $230 million dollars in funding. It was obvious from their rushed launch and last minute pivot to "AI" that this was a desperate attempt to cash out. A product operating in a niche category with a small but dedicated userbase is useless for a VC who is looking to 10x their initial investment. They'd much rather risk it all for explosive growth.
I stumbled across this on youtube last night and closed it halfway through when I realized the visualizations didn't make any sense. Clearly a lot of work went into this, how does something so confusing get made?
Yes they did, because the feedback was mostly negative, so it is back to the drawing board.

AI vs. humans: Influencers face competition from virtual models
I strongly favored Linux in the nineties because the elitism of the BSD world was infuriating back then. There were no device drivers for IDE CD-ROM drives because "real men" were supposed to use SCSI. There were no binary packages, yet ports were constantly broken. Sound support was non-existent by default. Not to mention the early BSDs were extremely buggy, let alone the train wreck that was 386BSD. Linux 0.9 was already more stable, performant, and usable. A true hacker paradize.

Then Linux started transitioning from a patchwork of loosely coupled replaceable components to integrated stacks in the mid-2000s, becoming ironically more and more of a corporate commodity rather than a playground for software freedom. You would need to define "the dark ages", as I understand casual users may prefer this trend, but for me, NetBSD is where the spirit remains. This is an entirely dependable, simple, hackable, grokable system and that's the way I want it to stay.

Is it possible that the issue is both and that the two are interrelated?

It seems to me that there can be both a problem with lack of role models and problems with racial issues and that both should be improved.

It seems to me that lack of role models could be exasperated by structural issues (mass incarceration, parents having to work too many hours) and in turn the lack of role models could exasperate the structural issues (unattended kids getting into crimes, kids struggling to get into college since their parents don't have time to tutor them).

> If you want a robot that can fold your laundry, clean your room and cook, you need a lot more than cheap hardware. You need an autonomous agent (i.e. "an AI") that can guide the hardware to accomplish the task.

Yes, that's my point. Cheap hardware is far harder to control than expensive hardware, so if Google actually developed some AI that can do high-precision tasks on "wobbly", off-the-shelf hardware, that would be the breakthrough.

I agree that extensive training for each single device would be prohibitive, but that feels like a problem that could be solved with more development: With many machine learning tasks, we started with individual training a model for each specific use case and environment. Today we're able to make generalized model which are trained once and can be deployed in a wide variety of environments. I don't see why this shouldn't be possible for a vision-based robot controller either.

Managing the actual high-level task is easy as soon as you're able to do all the low-level tasks: I.e., converting a recipe into a machine-readable format, dividing it into a tree of tasks and subtasks etc is easy. The hard parts are actually cutting the vegetables, de-boning the meat, etc. The amount of complex movement planning necessary for that doesn't exist yet. But this project looks as if it's a step in exactly that direction.

Awesome, you managed to reply to my comment and yet not post a single link to the 5-6 comments calling you out for not providing a source.

Edit:

I've found your link. It taxes gasoline cars older than 2006 (so 18+ years old) and diesel cars older than 2018 (so 6 years old). Which is super fair since those emit a ton of particulates, why should drivers be able to poison local residents for free?

There's no mention of an outright ban for ICE cars.
I think the Jetbrains team are dropping the ball when it comes to Kotlin on the JVM. They seem to be focusing their energy on KMP, and I’m not sure they have the capacity to deal with all the platforms they want to target (Kotlin/JS, Kotlin/Native, Kotlin/JVM, KMP, Jetpack Compose (?) etc). That being said, I’d strongly encourage others to try Kotlin as a Java alternative for server-side applications (Spring Boot integration is really nice, for instance). It’s such a delight to use! And it’s still my favorite language. Some features I especially like:

- context receivers (think of them as implicit parameters that are checked at compile-time)

- null safety. This is a BIG one, especially if you’re coming from Java.

- structured concurrency. Java still doesn’t have this. Note that SC is different from what was introduced in Project Loom.

- immutable variables, data classes, value classes etc.

> The US is surely more removed but everyone seems to know every detail of what's going on over there.

Except for Britain, European nations simply do not have a strong tradition of news publishing and free debate like the United States. In Europe, news mostly came and still comes in the form of dictates from the rulers. That's why it was so important that people had to go to church each Sunday: not to listen to the word of God, but to be told the latest decisions of the king directly from the preacher's pulpit. Later on, non-government affiliated media has mainly been partisan affairs, directly or indirectly controlled by political parties.

With a weak tradition of free speech and press, it is no wonder that European journalists prefer to sit around all day and read reporting on American politics and summarise for their readers, instead of doing some actual investigating, reporting and interviewing.
The article wasn't saying "do what makes you happy". It was saying "if you do this you will not be happy". If I end up happy you don't get to loop back and go "Well that was the goal! You agree with me!". The author also forgets that the author is their own audience. That audience is what one imagines others might be. The pursuit of that audience's approval is valuable.

>A coherent README.MD, nice documentation and good written code is what I aspire to do, and I do it for myself first.

Did you conjure the definition of "nice" and "good" in this context from thin air? No. You defined good by what others told you was good. You're working for an audience. You're disagreeing with the article without knowing it.
