I came across 'probnot's tech' recently. It's got a pretty complex multi-channel (analog) setup.

In-house Cable TV playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3efIbuabYe-PVxg19TrS...

I'm looking to put a digital channel on my cable segment (Fios based) with a Blonder Tongue QAM encoder, but I haven't figured out if I'll be able to tune it with a Fios set top box. I considered maybe dropping in a notch filter so I can take over an existing channel, but nothing is set up at the moment.

One thing I did find is that the QAM encoder's RF output can have a lot of power. It would overpower my cheap standalone HDMI tuner. In lieu of an attenuator I could air gap the coax connector about 5-10mm, and get it to tune.
Maybe I am? You enjoy being snarky?

Threads would never scale to that anyway? Isn't it a completely different usecase than what Threads was made for?
The mythical convertible iPad Pro "docking" to a "MBP Base" to use it as a touchscreen. ;)

I like the fact that a number of iPad and iPhone apps now run on macOS without a simulator or any ceremony. While they are touch-optimized, they're easy enough to use with a pointing device. The gotcha to such mythical OS convergence is the inverse is untrue since a desktop UI is unusable 1:1 on a tablet with the coarser granularity of tapping and less keyboard access.

Perhaps OS-level AI in the future will be able to automatically follow design guidelines and UX rules and generate a usable UI (Storyboards or such View parts) on any platform given a description of data, its importance, and a description of what it should try to look like.
How about a separate, schema-wise identical "deleted_x" table that you "move" deleted entities to? Can't get much more explicit than that, and still enables whatever joins you'd like on historical deleted data.

on the contrary, if you can reduce the environmental cost per can by 30%, but the result is that 20% of the cans rupture and go to waste, you have still reduced the total environmental cost

you are likely to go bankrupy tho
Are we not prepared though? Given other posts in this thread it seems to me that the effects are all calculated, expected and accounted for.

I mean if it's strong enough to fry off-grid electronics then it's a different matter entirely, but consumer electronics has some protections against that, right?
You're most welcome. :D
No, the fact people can have different opinions is a richness. The point of political activity is to align these opinions.
What makes you say they've been failing? It looks to me like China has made a huge amount of progress in building up a domestic supply chain in just a few years.
Really appreciate it! :D

Edge Servers seem to be one of the most misused terms in the JS ecosystem

Anyone know were Deno’s “Edge Servers” are? Is it anymore than EC2 instances because it doesn’t seem to follow the Akamai, Cloudflare, Fastly type approach of actually deploying their own hardware PoPs at the edge
You absolutely can and many do. The issue is GPUs are a commodity product that get most of the way there in terms of performance without rewriting a whole software stack, and have huge economies of scale. You just buy millions of pre-existing products that do the job well enough, and dont become obselete when the new hot stuff of the year comes around because theyre generalised parallel processing units. As the industry become more mature we'll see more targetted inference/training engines come to the market, but the semiconductor industry works in decades not years.

The reason FPGAs work as an in-between product is because they are also a commodity product. All you need is a team to program the device. You can buy a million of them off the shelf right now, and there's a hundred other applications they're good for so you're not restricted when the time comes that your ASIC is no longer needed for whatever task it's explicitly designed for.
Ask HN: Laptop case that is robust but not fugly?
Hi all. Help me with a unicorn hunt: a crush-resistant laptop case that's not fugly! A Peli [0] is certainly robust but it's hardly a beauty, although it's cuter than some of the alternatives [1].

Requirements other than head-turn appeal would include a svelte profile that any 1990s runway model would envy, so it can nestle neatly in a backpack. As for other aesthetic considerations, I'm not fussed about the latest colourways, as long as it doesn't look like it should contain nuclear waste I'll give it a whirl.

Vital statistics: 14-15" x 0.8". Temperament: notebook that is creaking at the seams and needs a little TLC if it is to see out the year.

Is it a lost cause? Am I destined to embarrass the airbook-toting hipsters at my local cafe with my industrial luggage? Or are some of you travellers from laptop Nirvana?

What are you packing?

I was out flying a camera drone on the river Dee between Liverpool and North Wales filming the sunset, when I started getting magnetic interference warnings. At the same time, I started to see flashes in the sky. Then my vision was filled with sparkling lights. A few minutes later I got an aurora warning from my brother and the aurora app. KP 8-9

As the sun went down I was waking through a woodland. I thought the dark would help my eyes to see the aurora, and I could point my camera away from the light pollution of Liverpool and maybe catch some colour with a long exposure.

Suddenly, I realised the colour of the aurora was coming through the trees, and getting brighter. I wasn't expecting it to be visible to naked eye like this. In these latitudes the advice is to set your camera to highest iso and slowest shutter speed and hope to catch a little colour. I wasn't expecting this! So I packed up quick and ran through the woods and into open fields. There, directly above me was this intense white light, with white arms forming a sort-of cross. The longest arm formed an arch over the whole sky, and where they reached the earth, on either side they became colourful, like a twinkling rainbow stretching out to space.

I didn't have the equipment or the wits to get a good photo. I just threw myself on the ground and lay on my back watching.

Wildest thing I ever saw. Absolutely awesome.

When I regain my composure, I will upload some photos somewhere (where, though?) and edit this comment.
I guess you missed the bits on Mastodon where the package maintainer simply didn’t bother reaching out to the upstream whatsoever because he was ‘too busy’ and would only do so over a particular IRC setup. That’s not competent or good faith maintenance.

I’m not so sure I’m on-board with the plug in hybrid approach. I know you said pragmatic, which it is, but I think we should just “rip off the bandage” and suffer some pain to go full EV. Some reasons:

1. A small battery in a plug-in hybrid will be cycled more. An NMC battery in an EV that gets 250 miles will last 1000+ cycles - that’s 250,000 miles. Drop that to 30 miles and you’re only at 30k miles. People have already been convinced that EV batteries will “need replaced” but even if you explain the cycling to them they will still be stuck in that mindset and that will be reinforced when they need to replace their plug-in battery.

The naysayers about battery replacement use to quote 3 years, then 5 and now 10. Maybe in 10 years they will be saying 20 but it will take a while to dispel the myth.

Maybe LFP or sodium with higher cycles will help the plug-in battery cycling right enough.

2. I’m willing to bet that a significant proportion of people will not charge their plug in hybrid and will just be polluting more by lugging around a battery they don’t use.

3. If you have a battery and a ICE you have more points of failure. One of the benefits of EVs is the “just add washer fluid” aspect.

I have a mixed real-world experience with PostgREST's friend: Postgraphile (I/E like PostgREST but generate GraphQL instead of REST).

It's great, but some tools are a bit rough, and people hate you for forcing them to write 8 lines of SQL.

The great: authentication works (both internal and using an external service like Okta), most (if not all) standard operations work: get, post, put, patch, delete, filter, sort, select specific columns, autogenerated doc. You have better RBAC than most (if not all) web frameworks out there.

The good: proper transactions everywhere, especially if you use a database-backed queue. Use can use views to evolve your interface independent of your data. You keep data consistency at all times.

The bad: PostgreSQL permissions can be hard, especially the permissions of views that expose underlying data, and around different schemas. Triggers can get complicated. You need a good tool to evolve your data, and most likely a different tool to evolve your views/stored procs, because they change way more often and for different reasons.

The horrible: people. They see SQL and they hate it. They rush to replace 8 lines of SQL with 300 lines of ORM and call it an improvent because there is no longer SQL. "Remove SQL" becomes an objective. It doesn't matter if they replace it with plague-induced gonorreic syphillis, they think it's better. They see a trigger that inserts into a SQL-based queue, now they try to introduce a redis queue, backed by nothing (not even writing to disk), and three endpoints and functions to create and manage it. They claim it to be better, even now that the three functions are unrelated and harder to track.

So well, would I do it for my personal projects? Totally. Would I do it in an enterprise project? Nah, they don't deserve such an improvement. Let them have their millions of lines of code to replace thousands of SQL.
That’s what I want to know but everybody just talks about how pretty it is. I want to know if it was dangerous to our electronics, and if not then how close it came to being dangerous, you know, small things like that.
The Italian word for it, “Merdocene”, sounds even pithier.
Easy porting would make everything slower. People would stop targeting Apple hardware and the machines would be running everything in emulation. Making porting difficult is a strategy. It requires publishers to make the leap and when they do they take full advantage of the hardware.

What is your definition of a product based on (from their license) "Thread technology and Thread Group specifications"?

Why would a book, or tutorial, or blog post be excluded from the clause "Thread technology and Thread Group specifications"?
It is, although practically I don't really mind as my mutt is configured to filter text/html through elinks, so I see the content just fine. It's those other annoyances like tracking links that span a dozen lines that annoy me more. :-(
That was my thought as well, I believe it's close to the "let the data warehouse sort it out" solution: make the current state separate from the "history" - in their example this supposes a data warehouse, but it could just be separate tables or databases.

It is.

The software has been broken - the UI wasn’t designed with those toggles in mind so now users suddenly have non functioning features presented to the in the UI.

The argument the all users should be keeping up to speed on NEWS - especially in the stable channels this will end up in - to explain why their UX is suddenly broken is not exactly ‘user friendly’.
M1 Max here too. I don't see the point of if/when M4 Max comes out as an upgrade because these updates are too frequent and too small in performance bumps to be justified. Not speed, RAM, storage, or features are a limiting factor. They're going to have to create more "only works on X" iDevice upgrade lock-in killer features to get people to upgrade artificially and unnecessarily.
I guess users could be hobbyists and maybe want to play with some of the few unique things OBSD offers like pledge and unveil and whatnot, but it has significantly worse graphical performance and isn't built with desktop use in mind at all.

You can make it work, and maybe it wouldn't be that much work for hobbyist users with specific and limited needs, but generally it's no where close to being the right tool for the job.

China's population is more than that of the US and Europe combined.

China doesn't need to reach the same GDP/capita as the West in order to attain the same level of economic power. Even with only 50% of Western GDP/capita, the Chinese economy would as large as the US and EU combined.

> The middle income trap is looking more and more a possibility.

The "middle income trap" is related to an inability to move up the value chain. Given that China already leads in many growing high-tech sectors, it already looks like China has blown past the middle income trap.

This seems like a big win when creating (un-)packers for custom formats. For this game after isolating the routine that decompresses the textures it was so annoying to not mess up the logic - https://github.com/krystalgamer/spidey-tools/blob/master/psx...

If you can use Firefox, it allows you to create multiple "containers", each with its own set of cookies and other state. You can create a separate container for each Okta login, then you can be logged into all three accounts simultaneously.

Also you can create a separate browser profile for each account. This works with all browsers but is less convenient, because it forces you to have a separate browser window for each profile, and also you need to enter all preferences for each profile separately.

So I actually agree with you on the social issues, but I really don't think targeting automation is the way forward.

If we want to work less, we need to automate more to make that even theoretically possible. The social situation of just a few people benefiting is orthogonal to the technology being used.

Which is why targeting specific tech in a fight for social justice is misguided, ineffective and probably even contraproductive.
There are plenty of use cases where an established CSS framework is a good choice. For PoCs, internal tools or dashboards, or just short lived projects, you can get very far by utilising a framework.

But if you're building a product, or UX / design is important to your project's success, then I completely agree with the author. You will quickly run up against the boundaries of what the framework provides and start fighting it. The methods the framework uses for extensibility won't be adequate and will hinder your attempts to customise it in the way you want to. Starting with custom CSS means you build things the way that makes sense to you and your team, and avoids a costly refactor later when you decide to ditch the framework.

That does mean that your team will end up designing their own framework! Developers with enough skill and experience to do that well are not always easy to find.

I disagree with the criticism of SASS, but with all the new features landing in modern CSS, it's not nearly as useful as it was even 2 years ago.
I live in a relatively big city where light pollution is obviously a huge thing. But the aurora was so strong that even we were able to make it out, although not as intensively beautiful as on all those webcam feeds
I don't agree with you, but it's really sad that you're getting downvoted for having an opinion and explaining it. I'd understand it on Reddit, but this is HN, and it's supposed to be better here.

> if we could send all artists to work in the healthcare mines we might discover new treatment for various ailments. is that not novel? is that too indirect?

You do realize that artists are artists because they want to be, and even if AI can create art, artists will still be artists, right? They won't just be like, "Oh, AI is good at generating art now? Whelp time to go become a doctor."
Judging from your derogatory replies, you hold a strong opinion on the matter.

Is that opinion based on facts and actual cases? Because as far as I know, the entire reason we have these law suits as presented in TLA, is to find out how the law stands on the exact questions that I pose.

So far, it seems copyright (in its current form) isn't suitable for (content) creators to prohibit LLM-researchers and -providers from training models on their creations.
