Yeah that’s what I said, basically. I had land. I built a cabin and an outhouse from salvaged lumber. Hauled water in 5 gallon jugs. Built up from there.

You don’t need a lot to have a huge advantage. Just a roof. And that can start with a couple thousand dollars for a chunk of land somewhere with some kind of dirt road to it that is passable at least most of the year. That opportunity still exists for many, many people.

Oh, yes, crows will dine on dog turds. I find them in the bird bath from time to time, as the crows apparently like to let the turd soak for a bit before feasting (and then either give up, or forget about it). :-(
This entire article feels like it was written by ChatGPT. For instance, it continuously makes vague claims about the value of open source without even citing the original bill.
The headline thesis seems reasonable, but they lost me as soon as they started comparing USD to gold. Gold is just such a weird special-case thing in economics that it seems very hard to draw interesting conclusions about anything else when you're opening up the discussion with using gold as a benchmark.

Plain old JavaScript (without frameworks) holds up rather well. My simplified blackjack game from 1998 (modified in 2003) and a calendar program from 2001 (probably written before then) still work in a modern browser.

The calendar program uses document.write(), which is very embarrassing nowadays, but then again, that was what people did back in 2001.

from the language of the now-signed bill/law [1]:

(4) FOREIGN ADVERSARY COUNTRY.—The term “foreign adversary country” means a country specified in section 4872(d)(2) of title 10, United States Code.

10 USC 4872(d)(2) [2]:

(2) Covered nation.—The term “covered nation” means—
(A) the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea;
(B) the People’s Republic of China;
(C) the Russian Federation; and
(D) the Islamic Republic of Iran.

in other words—the law is and will continue to be express about which "foreign adversary countries" cannot operate and/or control ByteDance.

I would generally argue that mouse is slower. If your hand is already on the mouse it is faster but the act of moving your hand to the mouse introduces quite a bit of latency. I can type a few keystrokes (which is usually all that it takes to move within the screen) in the time that it takes to move my hand to the mouse and locate the cursor...

(But if you want to use a mouse, use a mouse! Choice is amazing!)
Teeny nit, the sun produces light well into the x-rays (mostly from the corona though). You're probably talking about sunlight making it through the atmosphere.

My comment was made with the context of learning a new layout (or a new keyboard or learning to touch type).
It's fine. We will simply run weather forecast in BF16 mode and hallucinate the weather.
I love thumb clusters. But I have large hands. The great thing about the Cambrian explosion of mechanical keyboards is that people can find a layout which works for them, mentally and physiologically.

When I visited China late last year, I spoke to the people there on what they thought about the US and the current trade war.

Almost everyone I spoke to said that they think the US is a very advanced country and admire the US. They have no interest in changing or influencing the US to be more like themselves. They see this trade war as just "what politicians do". They seem to have an understanding of why China is doing what it needs to do and why the US is doing what it needs to do. It's nothing personal for them.

In contrast, most Americans I've interacted with see China as more of an enemy, a sort of hateful resentment towards China, and ideologically incompatible with any of their own beliefs. It is much more personal for Americans. Americans want China to be more like themselves. It shows on HN comments as well.

I dunno, I think the phishing scammers could just copy the banner and change the "how you know" part to include a big green check mark that says "this site was verified to be the real USPS". I don't think most people who are falling for these phishing scams wouldn't also fall for a fake banner.
If print friendly reports are a requirement, I'd go with QuickChart (https://quickchart.io.)

Static charts similar to chart.js, but without all the javascript. I've found static charts are much easier to work with once print CSS layout becomes a requirement.

That's why I want to block all CRMs and Mailchimp-type services completely.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheyenne_(supercomputer)

> The Cheyenne supercomputer at the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC) in Cheyenne, Wyoming began operation as one of the world’s most powerful and energy-efficient computers. Ranked in November 2016 as the 20th most powerful computer in the world[1] by Top500, the 5.34-petaflops system[2] is capable of more than triple the amount of scientific computing[3] performed by NCAR’s previous supercomputer, Yellowstone. It also is three times more energy efficient[4] than Yellowstone, with a peak computation rate of more than 3 billion calculations per second for every watt of energy consumed.[5]
DHL sent me a shipment tracking email from "dhlecommerce.co.uk" the other day. I almost deleted it, but then I remembered I was actually waiting for a package.

This is a huge issue and it seems like we've just given up on it. There used to be EV SSL certs, but they are essentially dead now. There's BIMI for email, but support is mixed, and only partly addresses the issue.

To me, the most surprising thing—and that it isn’t garnering more attention—is that the initial determination is that the relevant medical records and billing are reviewed by nurses in the Phillipines.

I’m sure they’re competent, but that sending these records to a foreign location where HIPAA does not exist is a matter of course should have people up in arms.

Previous cosmic ray episodes are recorded as Miyake Events:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miyake_event

Most of these are solar activity. But perhaps, maybe and perhaps, it is just about possible, that the 1052 Miyake Event was caused by the 1054 Crab Nebula supernova:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_Nebula

The speculation would be that cosmic rays arrived a couple years before Chinese astronomers noticed a change in visual appearance (naked eye, of course, no telescopes).

Has been really common in HPC for quite a while. I presume the higher interconnect/network of hpc favour the higher density of liquid cooling. Hardware utilization is also higher compared to normal datacenters, so the additional efficiency vs air cooling is more useful.
What do you all think about this? I spent a lot of time on it last year and then put it on the backburner but I was thinking of updating some of the levels to reflect this Practical Vim Command Workflow.

That makes sense. It's not a sign that the search is poor, it's a sign that the search has been intentionally crippled.

It's clear evidence that google prioritises sites with adverts over sites with content. This could not have happened by accident.
Thanks, glad you guys caught that - could be generous and allow the tensor core tflops, since you'd more than likely be using a100 pods for something cuda optimized, in which case 19.5 tflops fp64 at peak per GPU, roughly 267 would be needed, or 34 pods, at $6.8 million, with 21.76 TB vram and 81 kw power consumption.

Double those for raw fp64.

I have terminated employees with over a decade tenure. Skill decline, complacency, quiet quitting, etc. are all real. This is entirely hypothetical, but "I've worked here for 15 years" is irrelevant in a discussion of how effective you are at your job today.
I had tried using Kagi just for home use since the bulk of my searches are work related (Kagi is not something I can claim as an expense, before you ask) but still found little added value beyond "I think I like this more".

I did also try a bunch of side by side searches "for work" (so mostly leading to stack overflow) and they were the same results, more or less, for my searches between Kagi and Startpage.

One thing I found myself doing as I became conscious of my search quota limitations is going directly to sites and searching there using the local search. This doesn't seem like a bad thing but it's one more step in an already friction filled process. :)
That's just the thing. You don't know if it was fixed or not, so you really can't trust the information given.

Their old PHP database material used to be utterly rife with SQL injection. Perhaps they've fixed some of that, but a single injection bug can ruin your day, so it's not something you can take as casually as they seem to.

You seem a little aggressive here. Trying to go to a more primitive lifestyle now, in 2024, is largely futile. If it were, say, 500 years ago or 2000 years ago, "modern" life back then would have been simpler - and participating in society would involve many of the agrarian practices I've mentioned. With it comes horrible things like serfdom and slavery, too. Modern life has its benefits as well.

And I have met a lot of Amish people, they seem pretty content. They build furniture and barns. Drive horse carriages.

This is just my vision of an "ideal" life and more importantly an ideal _society_ - it's not as though I'm actively trying to move out to the woods or become Amish.

I just wish for less endless technological advancement and more self-sufficiency.
The politicians are gunning extremely hard for open source AI. It's crazy.

"Soros argued that synergy like that between corporate and government AI projects creates a more potent threat than was posed by Cold War–era autocrats, many of whom spurned corporate innovation. “The combination of repressive regimes with IT monopolies endows those regimes with a built-in advantage over open societies,” Soros said. “They pose a mortal threat to open societies.”

Literally everyone out there who pursues global influence is just frothing at the mouth over AI. This is seriously tempting me to buy the 512gb Mac Studio when it comes out so I can run the big llama3 model, which will probably be banned any day now.
GP did not say that "everyone can form "simple habits." That's a strawman version of their position.

Emphasis mine:

> Some internal monkeys can be tamed with simple habits.

If you dismiss the advice because it's not universally applicable, I think you do yourself and others a disservice.

I have some very bad ADHD that I have worked for years to control (using tools ranging from medication to meditation/mindfulness, etc). I fully agree that the monkeys in your brain can't be fully tamed, but surely you would agree that there is at least something that most people can do to improve things even a little bit? It's definitely hard, but not impossible.
Been looking recently at some of the sad, under used pocket parks in my city that are mostly scrubby grass fields of no interest to anyone but dogs, with a few scattered trees at the edge and been wondering: could this be better as a pond?

Seems like it would be better for insects and birds.

This seems like a pretty small thing that municipalities could do that would create a lot of visual interest and help birds.

Like another commenter said on another submission… do you mean F41?
Yeah precisely. Knowledge graphs are simple to think about but as soon as you look into them you realize all the complexity is in the creation of a meaningful ontology and loading data into that ontology. I actually think LLMs can be massively useful for building up the ontology but probably not in the creation of the ontology itself (far too ambiguous and large/conceptual task for them right now).

A Quick Guide to the AIpocalypse
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now ubiquitous in our daily life, and we have become - willingly or unwillingly - guinea pigs . In the future, the AIpocalypse may yet be an action-packed fight against the Terminator, but for now, it is something closer to a boring dystopia à la 1984.

In this article, I introduce the notions of AI risk, AI harm, and AI threat, and present recent examples of harmful AI. I also point at a few resources to keep you informed and safe .

JWH-018 was a very popular synthetic but of course it got banned so the supply dried up. It's more of a problem in younger lower class urban areas where the newly created not-yet-banned synthetics are sold as research chemicals or legal highs in head shops and gas stations. It's quite widespread, just not talked about often, because when media runs stories, things get banned.

Here's a video from one research chemist (Dr Zee) talking about his work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0NRsaPmVX8

While a very small list compared to the number of available chemicals, there are commercially available EMIT kits for the screening of the synthetic cannabinoids JWH-018, JWH-073, JWH-398, JWH-200, JWH-019, JWH-122, JWH-081, JWH-250, JWH-203, CP-47,497, CP-47,497-C8, HU-210, HU-211, AM-2201, AM-694, RCS-4, and RCS-8 through companies like NMS Labs, Cayman Chemical, and Immunoanalysis Corporation. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00032...

I think there are two unrelated causes to this:

1. Marginally cleaning up low-volume technical search results is not going to get anyone promoted or a stock refresher.

2. Most of the programmers at Google are probably good enough not to have to Google programming questions.

And agreed about w3schools, expert sexchange, etc.
Anyone who has worked with animals as well as human children will know all about this. Humans are animals and many animals are just as much "people" as as a two year old. What you make of that is up to you. Some people could care less if most of humanity were to be butchered. Some people will cry if they step on a grasshopper.

I've always loved crows. They seem to be the most human creatures I've ever met. Always fighting and yelling but also ready to gang up on another bird that messes with any of them.
It's a reasonable statement, though. There's a LOT of people that think a single payer healthcare system is the right goal. And a LOT of those people also realize that getting from where we are right not to a single payer system is HARD. One reason it's hard is that there are millions of jobs that will go poof when that happens. Those people could be put to work doing something that's actually beneficial to society. But the transition from <working in bullshit job> to <working in useful job> for millions of people is not trivial.

The change isn't something where you just pass a law / flip a switch, and everything is better. It's HARD.
What you said in the previous comment might be why those in power wish to keep the status quo in terms of healthcare but I don’t think it’s why middle and lower class voters vote against universal healthcare. I believe regulatory capture is why we haven’t done away with health insurance companies in their current incarnation. I believe but don’t know that upper class Europeans can pay for private care. I think Canada was the only country to banned privately paying for healthcare but they have relaxed this in recent years.
WebAssembly performance patterns for web apps
This service may have been better with a higher context window but with the required accuracy of legal document writing the inaccuracy of the RAG systems are too high.

Also, people have actually used it in practice and it didn’t go that well. So human in the loop systems in practice should have users finding corrections but won’t occur when you release the product.

SB-1047 has real "stay in your lane" energy. Senator Weiner knows a lot about housing policy and if he spends 100% of his legislative efforts on housing policy people will celebrate that. He knows nothing whatsoever about computer science, and should just step away from the keyboard to avoid the temptation to legislate the impossible.
Show HN: Finance Monitor – open-source finance aggregator
This open source web app aggregates accounts, and displays their balances, transactions, and trends in one place. I started building it ~2 months ago after learning Mint.com was shutting down. I used Mint mainly as an aggregator, to view all account values together, and inspect transaction history without logging into each account separately. I realized I could replicate this functionality by using Plaid’s API.

Tech stack:
- Django backend
- Postgres database
- HTML + CSS + JS frontend.

I may integrate typescript, but am skipping it for now to eschew the build step and associated config.

There are other uses people have for Mint, like budgeting, which I don’t use personally. I didn’t put much work into them, but may if I get enough feedback.

I’m open to any and all feedback, contributions, and critique. (Here, Github etc) There's also a hosted / fully-working one deployed: https://www.finance-monitor.com/
