> It's as serious as in to read data consume the disk, and the faster its read the faster is consumed

Numbers, please. Quantify that or GTFO. You keep quoting stuff that implies SSDs are horrifically unreliable and burning through their write endurance alarmingly fast. But the reality is that even consumer PCs with cheap SSDs are not experiencing an epidemic of premature SSD failures.

EDIT:

> You should have noticed that SSD disks no longer come with a 10-year warranty.

10-year warranties were never common for SSDs. There was a brief span of time where the flagship consumer SSDs from Samsung and SanDisk had 10-year warranties because they were trying to one-up each other and couldn't improve performance any further because they had saturated what SATA was capable of. The fact that those 10-year warranties existed for a while and then went away says nothing about trends in the true reliability of the storage. SSD warranties and write endurance ratings are dictated primarily by marketing requirements.
I'd recommend Da Vinci Resolve for making timelapses. It performs really well and let's you scrub through before rendering anything which lets you clip just the part that you need. Plus you get the benefit of high export quality which can be fiddly with ffmpeg.
What's the expected effort needed for supporting GPUs other than Nvidia — e.g. AMD GPUs or the GPU in a MacBook Pro M1/2/3?

As I understand, it's a lot of work because there's no common way to target these different GPUs. Is this correctly understood?
Americans in 1800 were enormously wealthier than Englishmen in 1100. Again, I’m not comparing nominal values. I’m comparing purchasing power and typical wages. The purchasing power of $1000 today is more than what an Englishman in 1100 had available for a year. If you offered $1000 of today’s dollars worth of purchasing power to an Englishman in 1100 to work for you for a year, he would jump at the opportunity to do so. An American in 1800 would not do so, because Americans were much wealthier in 1800 (or, for that matter, in 1650).
Show HN: A VS Code extension to check incompatible CSS
I've developed a handy tool for Visual Studio Code that makes checking CSS compatibility very easy for developers.

It provides instant feedback on syntax, keywords, types, and function compatibility. It even highlights deprecated, non-standard, and experimental features.
Why shouldn't it be baked into the neural structure that has evolved over the past half billion years? Why should it require years after birth to manifest?
> Catania airport is the 3rd by number of flights in Italy

5th, not 3rd [0], after Rome, Milan, Bergamo, Naples, and before Venice - passengers, not number of flights.

Thanks for the link. What I'm getting is we think emitting light that doesn't spread out over distance can be done with unbounded power, thus we can probably aspire to make ones that cross greater distances by spending more power on the creation and a degree of inventing new materials. Sound about right to you?
but the question is, is it copyrightable?
Thanks for this, I'll fix it asap :)
Shoot first and ask questions later, if anything shooting first is safer (civilizational risk) on the chance they are thinking the same. On the flip side, an alien civilization sees our request to cooperate, they can accept or they can destroy us, to them we could be lying or go back on our word and destroy them.

I see some criticism of dark forest theory in here, but keeping quite and shooting first are the least risky options when the inentions or capabilities of another civilization are unknown and making assumptions about the other sides friendliness could lead to eithers extinction.
But… this is a built in feature of Adobe Lightroom.[2] And it is not even some hard to find feature. I learned about it in the first tutorial of Adobe Lightroom i ever watched.

May I wonder what would you propose in his stead ?

I am not a military inclined person, but asking for missiles that are purposefully built to target air missiles as well as their delivery mechanisms seems reasonable to me.

Am I missing something ?

So what ? Are there any negative effects ?
Catania and Naples have the same number of flights if you check recent stats (last stats released: https://assaeroporti.com/statistiche/). Sometimes Catania is ahead, sometimes Naples. So indeed not 3rd but 4th, with Catania and Naples having the same traffic.
> "humorously arrogant" it set the tone of the rest of your comment to condescension

it was as condescending as the original comment was arrogant. what exactly is the confusion here? if you want to a community where people are allowed to make bold claims without doing sufficient research (hn) then you should also allow for those people to treated as such.
“published range of up to 15 nautical miles (28 km)”

They don’t have them same range.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Direct_Attack_Munition

The article does say there are longer range versions

“hitting targets up to 72 kilometers (45 miles) away.”

Maybe it comes down to Russia having a much bigger air force.

The other thing to consider is what’s being targeted? Ukrainian infrastructure.
Why not a tunnel?
Thanks! Yeah totally, it should be fairly easy to do. Could select the game variant after selecting a new game. I'll see what I can do :)

GPS is almost never used for military guidance systems compared to inertial dead reckoning, GPS is too unreliable and easy to jam!
> Most Sicilians are not actually hoping so much to see this bridge to be completed, especially since in Catania and Palermo there are very high traffic airports with plenty of cheap options to go to Rome or Milan (Catania airport is the 3rd by number of flights in Italy). If the fast trains available in the North would be available here, it would be different perhaps.

Would a rail connection help with shipping goods? Would a road connection help with transport trucks?
If the wasi+weval version is better than the compiled one, doesn't it mean that the compiler made a bad job at optimizing out the constant parts?

To be fair, in order for weval to do its magic, the code has to be changed and annotated. I'm wondering if a similar set of annotations could convince clang to generate a binary that runs in less than 40 ms.
I don't think there is a slippery slope in the foreseeable future, unless you buy into sci-fi views of AI being like a human. We need to update the laws around copyright in response to these machines. It's similar to why copyright laws exist in the first place: the concept was developed in response to the printing press.

At some point there will be a real I, Robot problem about an AI artist that actually understands what its drawing and doesn't depend on interpolated plagiarism of inhuman amounts of data. But we aren't even close to that yet.
An article I read mentioned them taking a 1.5 ton bomb from 1965 (!!!) and putting a glide kit on it - thus adding a microcontroller, gps, wings, and electric motors.

I am curious to see a teardown of the kit. Probably a lot of generic western components used just as with their drones.
My experience using n8n, from a developer perspective
Fast-forward in a few years, perhaps we could claim that if even a basic computer is able to do the same, the originality of the work is low, it may not meet the threshold for being copyrightable ?
> Swarms for this application seem inefficient to me because they duplicate so much of the mass-- mass that could be used not as single basket but as adequate redundancy in a single craft.

They're using swarms because we can't accelerate an object that weighs more than a couple grams to relativistic speed with realistic technology. Therefore we have to use a small craft. And since that small craft can't do everything, we send a bunch.

> How does any object as small as what they're proposing at the extreme head or tail of the string whose only energy source is a laser several light years away lower (or increase) its velocity enough to reposition itself several hundred astronomical units to form a lens 100,000 km across and then increase (or decrease) its velocity in order maintain formation?

That's not at all what they're proposing. Each craft would have its own energy source. There is also no string. The "string" and "mesh" here refer to geometry, not to actual real objects.

edit: as to how they come together, that's the previous sentence from your quote:

> Initial boost is modulated so the tail of the string catches up with the head (“time on target”). Exploiting drag imparted by the interstellar medium (“velocity on target”) over the 20-year cruise keeps the group together once assembled.

answering more:

> Is the lens pointed at the target, for imaging, or pointed at earth for communications?

The coms lens has nothing to do with the lens shape of the probe mesh or with the instruments used to collect data. You use two different things for taking images and sending them.

> If the former how does it achieve the gain needed to send a signal to earth?

From the article:

> .. periodically building up a single short but extremely bright contemporaneous laser pulse from all of them. Operational coherence means each probe sends the same data but adjusts its emission time according to its relative position, such that all pulses arrive simultaneously at the receiving arrays on Earth.

> What is the energy density of a 100GW laser beam that has diverged to 100,000km at a ±50k km radial distance because I assume that the swarm components at the edges of the lens will need power the same as those at the center?

Irrelevant since that's not the power source.
Eh. It forbids me from uninstalling a bunch of useless apps that come bundled. That's pretty shit.
World War 3 hasn't broken out despite Ukraine possesing JDAMs.

Ukraine needs a powerful bargaining position before entering negotiations, and though it's regrettable this is the case, a powerful bargaining position derives from power on the battlefield. The best route to peace is therefore to give Ukraine as deadly a sting as possible.
> Russia doesn't have any intention of doing that.

That's a strange thing to say while Russia is in the middle of of gobbling up Ukraine (a country west of it within the extent of the USSR)
That reads more like surviving extreme hypothermia than being frozen and thawed in the sense of cryogenic preservation. The greater the percentage of water in their body that was frozen, the less likely they were to survive, with some precipitous cliffs around 50% and 75%. Am I misreading it?
At least in this case you'd find out pretty quickly!
AI is to the point where it can create it's own style. We talk about these styles as if it's some kind of sacred thing. What you don't realize is that we're past this point.

There's a latent space of different art within a certain style category, but there's the latent space of different categories itself. AI can already traverse the space between art in a single style category AND it can traverse the gradient space BETWEEN categories. It can even go beyond that.

AI has turned everything into a freaking best fit curve.

Copywrite is such a mundane question. It's just a fight against the inevitable truth. That human creativity are just points on that curve. Nothing more, nothing less.

I view this as a BAD thing. Copywrite is good, it's great. It's a law that implies what humans create has meaning. But we have to face the truth. That the output we produce is in actuality just one part of a high level pattern. That's all we are.
Even keeping the drive always 75% empty would be enough, but partitioning off is the easiest way to make sure it's never exceed 25-33% full (assuming the drive behaves like that in the first place).

To verify the drive uses the all of the drive as a cache, you can run full drive sequential write test (like the one in HD Tune Pro) and analyze the speed graph. If, say, a 480GB drive writes at full speed for the first 120GB, and then the write speed drops for the remaining 360GB, this means the drive is suitable for this kind of use.

I think controllers might've been doing some GC jobs to always keep some amount of cells ready for pSLC use, but it should be a few GBs at most and shouldn't affect the use case depicted here.
It is very risky to move high valued assets like Patriot batteries close to the front line as in that case these assets are within the reach of low distance surveillance tools Russia has in abundance. Doing this resulted in loss of actual Patriot systems in Ukraine - these were spotted by Russian surveillance drones and then attacked using ballistic missiles.

Ukraine could instead attack launch sites on Russian territory - it has been proven to be highly effective in Crimea - but Ukraine is not allowed to use Western ballistic missiles for that.
That isn't true. Inertial guidance systems that work for appreciable flight times are too expensive. Many military systems do use GPS, such as HIMARS, Excalibur, JDAMs, etc...

If I had to guess, the reason why the above are jammed and the UMPK isn't is because of better integration with the launch platform and a shorter flight time leading to less inertial drift over time, plus a very large warhead to make up for inaccuracy.
Trying to milk the AI for profit sounds like a huge suspect in regards to ever trusting it.

Corporate Memphis seems to have that very "flat almost clip-art" style to it.

Generative art is ideal for this type of stock art use case where 90% is simply good enough for the vast majority of situations.

I feel like the gig economy (things like Fiverr) are unfortunately going to get absolutely crushed by generative art systems since most of their customers aren't that particular and are likely fine with anything that DALL-E / SD can pump out.
These are interesting distinctions.

You’re getting voted down which is unfortunate, because there’s a larger strategy here worth discussing.

My opinion is thus:

The US has learned from China’s low intensity conflict strategy. If the US had given Ukraine patriot batteries, F-16s, and tanks on day 1, The reaction from Russia could’ve been nuclear. As much as I want to see a bully get punched back in the face, It is not a good strategy to avoid disastrous escalation. Slowly ramping up the technology sent and uncuffing Ukraine gradually is the actual optimal path.

Well, this is a very fucked-up situation. When I was a child, during 80s, most of the Sicily / North Italy goods shipping was by train / boat, and we had good railways. Then a decision was made to favor trucks: I don't know why. So in general, yes, shipping goods via train was a lot better and less costly AFAIK. But politics play a role, as the trains where suppressed in Sicily with some agenda. In general companies shipping stuff from/to North with trucks are not in the cleanest hands. Note that trains can pass from Messina without huge issues as it was already made for decades. The train gets disassembled and put on the boat and assembled back on the other side, this happens many times every day. It is how it works right now. But in general, I believe that trains is what could give more sense to this project.

Is a single probe subject to 100 GW? Isn't that just the output power of the laser array.

If that 100GW is over 1km2, the incident light is 10W/cm2 and mW levels of heating.

1km2 is typical for these ideal to minimise the laser dispersion

Oh my god. This brings back a ton of memories. I was writing a port knocking implementation back in 2016 or so as a side project and I was using this exact flowchart to use iptables for opening/closing ports and routing packets.
That seems more like a good natured refusal to engage with the question seriously.

Sort of like, if you come to a smart engineer with a design for a perpetual motion machine, they might likely tease you a little bit and then refer you to a physicist. Smart people from applied fields know when the topics are outside their actual wheelhouse, but getting close enough that they risk being taken seriously, to a misleading extent.
Thanks for this link. very helpful!
This is war, not detecting too much salt (which arguable 'everyone' is an expert in).

I think it's weird that folks in this thread don't like the idea of having local AI features on laptops.

This seems like a great opportunity to control one's own data and continue leveraging open source AI models.

I've used Linux laptops for the past ~20 years almost and this seems like something that'll compete well with MacBooks.

Only drawback is that all the ARM-based ecosystems seem less open but I can see Qualcomm is engaging with folks like Canonical and I'm optimistic I can get a Linux version of one of these.
Aiming our goals and dreams towards the lowest common denominator, will not result in successfully reaching them.

What are examples of synthesis of powerful ideas formerly in tension?
This is extremely true. I know a family who recently got out of a terrible situation where their landlord

- Regularly stole food from their kitchen

- Turned off their hot water for several weeks

- Verbally harassed their elementary school aged daughter

All of these things are illegal but in the city where they lived there isn't much practical recourse for a poor family. The only option the city lists on their website is to hire a lawyer and take the landlord to court. There's supposed to be a fine for every day the hot water is off, but guess who you can call to enforce that? Nobody. This is true of many laws that supposedly protect ordinary people (e.g. labor laws). Once you go to avail yourself of the protection you find there's actually no functioning mechanism and often that's by design.
AI regulations are crony capitalism
Here is some background to better understand what this is about.

There are two main types of strokes, ischemic and hemorrhagic. In ischemic stroke, the blood supply to the brain is blocked. In hemorrhagic stroke, you have a brain bleed.

One of the subtypes of ischemic stroke, is large vessel occlusion (LVO) where one of the large arteries supplying a large area of the brain is blocked.

This is what this blood test detects, and claims to be able to exclude hemorrhagic stroke.

The way this is usually done is with a CT scan of the brain, preferably CT Angiogram where they inject a special solution into the blood stream which shows up on the CT scan and enables you to visualize the blood vessels directly. This will tell you exactly what type of stroke you have, as well as where the stroke is, and if you have any bleeding, and how big the area that is at risk for damage from the stroke is.

This then gets into treatments.

Focusing again on Large Vessel Occlusions, the two main treatments are clot-busting drugs and thrombectomy. The best-treatment is Thrombectomy, where a neurologist-interventional doctor, threads a thin tube either from the wrist or groin up to the site where the blockage is and mechanically removes the clot (this is similar to what they do for heart attacks).

The other treatment is clot-busting drugs - which work to dissolve clots. They don't work as well as thrombectomy, and can have more side-effects related to bleeding (because they bust all clots everywhere), and can cause brain bleeds. If you give them to someone having a hemorrhagic stroke, that is bad.

Now this test, says it can exclude a hemorrhagic stroke and diagnose a large vessel occlusion. The presumed benefit of this would be for the blood test to be done in the ambulance on the way to the hospital and based on it to administer the clot-busting drugs so they get to work earlier.

That may be helpful in some situations if the person is a long way away from a stroke center, say in a very rural setting. It would, however, be pretty gutsy to administer clot busting drugs without at least a CT Scan, and would need more validation before people would feel comfortable doing it.

The ideal case is not to spend time doing this test, but to get the person quickly to a stroke center where they can get a thrombectomy if needed.
Microsoft PDS (aka Quickbasic). QB64 is an okay substitute but since it's compiled rather than interpreted it loses a lot of the magic that made BASIC special back in the day.

I think for the any initial project, we'll have to resort to 1km scale laser arrays. These would allow for a beam with a low dispersion so there can be a good initial acceleration.

After a few hundred AU, the probes should be close to the target velocity
Russia's not going to use nukes, for the same reasons the US didn't use them in Korea or Vietnam or the USSR didn't in Afganistan.
Hah, this is a perfect example of why it's important to build products for an audience you know and understand. (I've barely used Lightroom and clearly I'm not part of this audience)

On the other point though, there's a case to be made for building products to make things easier/better/more discoverable/etc even if when they already exist. One example: there are is ton of screen recorder software out there despite the fact that QuickTime on Mac can record the screen.
We can easily afford both, but the war hawks and monopolies don't want to

> What I really think Thunderbird could use is account sync.

NOPE.

For account sync to be reliable and largely pain-free, credentials would also need to be synced. Which is a massive security no-no, as you don’t control the cloud they’re synced across. It’s why I still rock a pre-cloud version of Mailwasher.

Besides, aside from initial set-up, how frequently do your account settings need to be updated? I have run the same Thunderbird setup without any major changes for about 15 years now. A good ⅘ of my accounts in TB are unchanged since initial set-up in 2004.
