Got it, my mistake. Thank you for the clarification. Is this to say, Protonmail does not cache previous verification and/or recovery passwords?
That's the most reasonable explanation I've heard for why the N model makes "unnecessary" noise. Because as an owner of a regular Ioniq 5, I feel it's an otherwise dumb idea. The reviews I've read all just say, "makes vroom-vroom noises, yeah!" But track-time feedback, okay, I can get along with that.

(And it makes those steering wheel flappy paddles at least somewhat useful. The paddles on mine just change the regenerative braking level...which could have been done with a steering wheel button.)
that is probably the absolute farthest thing from what I'm saying.

In the end, you have 2 choices:

1. try to control other people

2. control yourself

There is literally no other options. Theres no "middle ground." Any advice/comments/etc boil down to ONE of these two choices.

The entire first choice is moot, because given 10 million years, you will never be able to control other people's behavior. No amount of good advice, helpful HN comments, 1000 word blog posts, will never, ever, 100% remove all threads of possibility of getting teased/whatever. I would not categorize this choice as "wrong" (which implies bad), but merely "moot" (neutral).

Therefore, that only leaves option 2. Discussing anything to do with what people "should" do is, quite literally, a waste of time. This idea CAN coexist simultaneously with the idea that I treat people well. Why? Because being nice is option #2... its something I control about myself. I CAN control how I treat other people, just as I can control my reaction to other people.

I don't condone/not condone the person email, because I don't even look at things like that. I look at things in terms of what I'm capable of controlling (or, that is the goal, anyway. sometimes life can be tricky!).

If i were to look at things in terms of what other people "should" be doing, then I am destined for a lifetime of disappointment and emotional turmoil.

There is no other way.
Saunas are the next frontier in fighting depression
Personal anecdote: I used to do a decent amount of LSD (~150ug every 4-5 months for ~3 years), until one time I had an extremely bad trip. Ever since that bad trip, I've found that every time I get high (from LSD, mushrooms, or even marijuana) I start having extreme anxiety to the point where I can't enjoy it anymore and am just waiting for it to end. The bad trip was now 8 years ago and to this day I've not had a great experience on any of the above drugs since then.

I consider myself lucky that the anxiety only shows up when on drugs, which is pretty easy to avoid by, y'know, not doing drugs. But clearly something permanently shifted inside my brain.

The inability to experience something I used to enjoy without a near-panic-attack is a bit more of an effect than a conversation might have.
We've cut down on our restaurant expenses quite a bit, and we're back to cooking a lot more. When we do eat out, we try to keep it fairly cheap now, just an entree and water, and try to go to places when they have nice deals (like one gastropub near us has 50% off pizzas on Monday-Wednesday, we both get a pizza, eat half there, and have lunch the next day for $18 + tip).
Well, they aren't really limited to accessibility, but they are hidden there. It's sort of like a convenient excuse to get UI designers off your back if you want to ship customization.
There's nothing sarcastic about my comment. It highlights key limitations of the system with clear examples. Considering the number of world-class engineers and effectively infinite resources available to Google it's just a disappointing release. Both examples are things that I care about and which other people aren't discussing, so I think adding my voice to the conversation is a net positive.
Of course it is valid to leave, especially if it's prolonged abuse, but it's a two-edged sword.

If you have some bored idiot on the other side, you leaving might encourage them to abuse you even more. If you yield further, then you've allowed yourself to be shut out from the public Internet, depriving yourself of the satisfaction of contributing to projects.

My point is that you need to try to be rational in these (emotional) situations, and think about the consequences of your decisions. Sometimes the best solution will affect you more than the abuser, which feels really unfair, but the alternatives are simply worse.

Where to Move?
Hi,

Just got my bachelors in computer science and masters in software engineering.

I have Dutch EU passport.

At some point in my career I want to have my own business, but taxes here (Netherlands) are really high.

I prefer cold weather and want highest standard of living possible. I want to settle down and raise a family of two kids.

Where should I move to?
I, as the Krita maintainer, hereby give everyone the right to verb the trademarked name "krita". Whether it's I "krittered that concept" or "I kritaed that sketch" -- it's fine!

The only thing you cannot do with the trademarked name krita is publish rip-off, spyware-laden versions in places like eBay.

It's amazing to me that there's no simple, built-in way to wirelessly display my Windows laptop to my TV so it just looks like I've connected an HDMI cable (minus some slight lag and compression artifacts). Instead every built-in casting method I've tried (chromecast, miracast, etc) looks like hell, the whites are blown out, the colors are inaccurate and the aspect ratio is off. And this is on a 4K HDR10 TV with 100% of a >1GBps, low latency 5 GHz connection. It's bad enough that I don't use wireless and instead keep a long HDMI cable coiled up behind the TV for when I need to connect the laptop.

I assume there must be some Windows program + side-loadable app that's high-quality, low-latency and actually looks like the laptop screen connected via HDMI. Would appreciate any recommendations...

Yeah, I was thinking of their non-local model like Gemini advanced though.

In any case iPhone probably don't have enough memory to run a 3.25B model? e.g. 15 pro only have 8 GB (and Gemini Nano seems to only work on the 12GB Pixel 8 Pro) and 14 has only 6GB, that hardly seems sufficient for even a small LLM if you still you want to run the full OS and other apps at the same time.

It's (slowly) changing.

Chinese companies are now considering LSE as an alternative to NYSE/NASDAQ for their dual-listing IPOs due to laxer oversight and auditing requirements, especially now that FCPA enforcement is in full swing and third party audits by Western organizations are required, which Chinese regulators are preventing.

That said, it's hard to beat the primacy of the American, Chinese, Singaporean, and increasingly Indian market (at least 2 late stage startups ik in the Bay Area are looking at listing on the NSE because they want to IPO but $100-200M in ARR and consistent growth is not enough to successfully list in the US anymore).
This echoes a thought I had recently -- stars traveling at relativistic speeds should look deceptively young due to time dilation. But while this is certainly speedy, mere hundreds of km/s isn't enough to significantly prolong the observed lifetime of a star.

Enjoy. Booking have been caught lying to pressure consumers.

> Then you don't understand the industry. It is impossible for booking or any third party sellers to exist if they can not offer the same rates to customers for the same rooms. People would just use booking.com to find availability and reviews, and then book with the hotel more cheaply

Some people might, and many already do (a lot of hotels work around it by offering discounts if you sign up on their website, which is effectively a discount for booking directly). But a big part of the allure of Booking and similar middlemen is the independent reviews, their guarantees, support, loyalty program and payment options. You even say it yourself , people use Booking because they trust them, so even if the price is a little higher people will still use them instead of booking with unknown hotels directly. Enforcing pricing is anti-competitive and anti-consumer. And the EU isn't trying to kill corporations, merely restrict their abuses and ensure a level playing field.

> find it very Soviet to state that a crime has been committed without mentioning what it is, and it's impressive that people here swallow it wholesale

I find it very American to not know what Soviet means or implies. For your information, regardless if you're American or not, in Soviet times, you'd get charged with an explicit crime. It'd just be a fake one with made up proof, but you know what's the supposed thing you did.

And Booking aren't charged with a crime. They're being designated as a gatekeeper, and will have extra responsibilities to ensure consumer protections. If they fail to comply, they'll be fined for explicit infractions.

It's also very American to try to preserve the rights of big corporations to fuck consumers. There are freedoms from and freedoms to. The latter need to be restricted on big corporations to prevent abuse, which would reinforce the former for regular people.

Chess is a very specific field that requires training. Chatgpt may not be optimized for chess.

And I think chatgpt has some issues visualizing stuff like a chess board.

Therefore to get a decent answer you'll have to explain that you are a professional chess player. You'll have to describe what tempo and position means in chess. You'll have to describe what a gambit is etc. After these steps it will understand and guide you in whatever you need.

If you succeed you can release it as a customGPT.

Honestly SM64 with new graphics in those demo videos looks worse than the original game. But Gamecube games running in an emulator look amazing because they use a lot more vector graphics, which the emu can scale up and apply antialiasing to.

What interests me more about recompilation is it can produce very efficient binaries instead of having to emulate everything. And also makes it easier to add new features.

I got a tube of this probiotic. They asked me not to sequence it, but I'm a little suspicious of putting it in myself, so trust-but-verify (probably Nanoporing). I literally cannot see why sequencing it is a "dick move", so I think I'll be doing it anyway.

I do not buy that it is dangerous. However, I haven't seen any statistics showing the frequency of mutacin-1140 or its efficiency. Back in 2015 when I was a teen I did an experiment using colicin V (an E.coli one - I was planning on engineering E.coli Nissile to replace my current gut E.coli with something more fun. Got kicked out of the science fair for that one - https://keonigandall.com/posts/colicins.html ). Turns out, you need a sizable portion of the population to get takeover. I haven't seen ANY data on the population percentage necessary for takeover with this strain. Nor have I seen statistics of its natural occurrence percentage.

I wanted to modify the strain to have GFP expression, so I can have my own little engineered biome for myself that is showable at parties and such, but it looks like they removed comE :( will have to start from an original strain instead, I guess.

Ask HN: What should I do with my VR educational programming app?
Hi HN,

I've developed a VR app (https://www.meta.com/experiences/7189958484358658/) that’s inspired by Turtle Graphics/Logo. It allows users to visualize code execution in 3D and step forward and backward in execution. I mainly made it because I thought it was an interesting idea and I wanted to try my hand at selling my own software.
I initially launched it on Sidequest and the App Lab (a 3rd party marketplace and Meta's store for experimental apps) for $4.99, but haven’t really gotten sales (except 2 from people I probably know). I made a Reddit and HN post, but other than that haven't really tried any marketing. I've lowered the price to $.99 and offered a free trial, but still no luck. I suspect a big part of the problem is my imagined target audience would be kids (like for the original Logo/Turtle Graphics), but I'm not really sure how I would connect with that audience (edit: and the Meta Quest isn't really for anyone under 13 as someone pointed out). My interest/motivation in the project has waned and I’ve already kind of moved on, but am hesitant to completely abandon the project.

I'm now considering a few different paths forward and would love to hear your thoughts:

1. Keep it paid and put more effort into marketing

2. Make it free and explore monetization later (and put more effort into marketing)

3. Make it free and open source and don't plan to monetize

4. Do nothing: Avoid putting any more time and effort into the project and focus on new interests

5. Keep it paid and try to make it more polished and professional looking (not really leaning towards this option, but throwing it out there in case people think that's what's holding it back)

I know they aren't entirely all mutually exclusive, but figured it'd help to show roughly how I'm thinking about it.
Thanks in advance for your insights!
I recently made my first Firefox extension and was surprised how simple it actually was (just for personal use: I had to repeatedly copy lots of data which I already had in a spread sheet into a web form - the extension lets you copy a whole row of data from the sheet and paste in into consecutive form fields on the website). As usual, it's not clear whether it was actually less work to develop the extension than it would have been to just manually put in all the data, but it was definitely better for my mental health.

Perhaps I will look into developing more serious extensions in the future, it was actually a quite pleasant experience.

Is it fair to say that developing extensions for Chrome is comparable?
> So obviously the US has to make a larger change in the structure of society.

That's not obvious at all. Suppose the difference in per capita emissions between country A and country C is that in country A they drive big cars and in country C they drive small ones. Well, both countries ought to stop using internal combustion engines. How is that a "larger change" for country A, just because they have larger cars?

And as for "reigning in" the super rich, what does that mean? You want to tax them more and ban yachts, perhaps? Do you think this sector is at all significant in real terms, in terms if the slice of actual effect these very few high individual emitters have on total emissions compared to general transport, power generation, industry and construction?

Focussing on any individual's carbon footprint is not the way. It's been tried since the 90s and it doesn't work, in much the same way that John Lennon didn't bring about world peace despite getting a large number of fans to agree that it sounded like a good idea. The problem there was that they didn't have the power to decide the matter. In the case of climate change, specific policies about fuel for power generation and transport can decide it. Taxing the rich is just a complete sideshow that probably happens to please you for unrelated reasons.
Definitely important, but it's more a consequence rather than an economic indicator.
In another post, you mention that there’s a header that can include an https link to POST a request to unsubscribe. So this extension and anything like it must be able to read email and send POSTs to arbitrary endpoints[0].

> ensuring your privacy

But only if we trust the extension author (and the authors of all of the transitive dependencies) to be neither malicious nor incompetent… right? I don’t know of resources that explain exactly what actions each permission in the manifest grants the extension to perform, nor a characterization of the execution environment of extensions. Do all browsers handle these matters similarly? Does some browser provide any more isolation or sandboxing than any other?

Edit: by no means did I mean to throw shade or cast doubt on your extension, I’m just grumpy in general and in particular about browser extensions, since nowadays “the browser is the OS”.

- managing and controlling it might be very challenging
- need to get the data down from it - might create difficulties and costs that kill the value
- heating and cooling in space might kill it
- radiation in space might kill the hardware
- acceleration during launch might kill the hardware
- the payload needs to be stable during launch or there will be an accident
- scientific value might be lower than other missions for similar spend
