That argument doesn't really fly. The "poor little customer" was an online casino who was using Cloudflare to avoid getting taken down in countries where online gambling isn't allowed.

This had a high risk of getting Cloudflare's limited ipv4 addresses to a blacklist - affecting ALL of their customers.

All CF did was ask them to switch to an Enterprise plan and bring their own IP-addresses. They refused to do either and rather cried on the internet claiming CF to be bullies. It's not like the price they asked was even a fraction of the profits an online casino brings in every DAY.

Just to nitpick one point, I personally think we've passed the peak of popularity for vtubers and it will settle down to a slightly lower level. Having been one myself, I've seen the other side and I think a combination of lockdown and the launch of Holo-EN made a lot of people try it, before realising it didn't work for them

Anand Giridharidas's book, "Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World" is an excellent commentary on this state of affairs. He particularly takes on the act of massive charities (Gates, Buffet etc) because the acts by which a few individuals make a lot of money are precisely the ones that have screwed up society so bad. We should not look at philanthropists so kindly.
Oh, so you just don't use peripherals at all. That is not a very common scenario.
The mushrooms are imported from China or Poland as mycelium, and the harvest is done in France. Since the law distinguishes between mycelium and mushroom, the mushroom were technically produced in France.

That's only the VC angle. Plenty of revolutionary products will find adoption without playing the SV startup playbook. I think it's time to reevaluate the startup business "wisdom" of these past 15 years in the light of the companies and founders "role models" it has produced over that time frame. Good at making money, obviously. Holding the promise of making society better? I'll let you judge. As for me since I've read from Zero to One I have a sense I have been duped.

Just don't think about it. Kagi keeps track of it and they do not charge for anything extra. They will tell you when you reached your limit. At first I also thought I would have to think about and not search for anything unnecessary to keep the usage low, but now I just blast away without thinking about it and I have so far never reached the monthly limit of 300 for the $5 plan.

Just use your big password storage called brain memory and/or choose passwords wisely. Or, some kind of password-manager can be used for that, too.

I think, Google can't do this as they just have the password hashed and not in clear text. One can't calculate the clear text password out of hash so easily.

And what would be the aim? To use any of the passwords to get into any of your accounts? - use Browsers Passwort storage for that.
Slightly OT, but sincere thanks from me to you for creating Lombok.

It's a tool that sparks strong opinions, which is a testament to its significance and the impact it has made. You've created something that people are passionate about, whether they're for or against it.

Personally, I'm firmly in Team Lombok. I believe the negative feedback it receives is disproportionate.

For those of us who use it, Lombok significantly improves our coding experience. For those who don't, it's entirely optional and doesn't interfere with their workflow.

Thanks again for creating something that made me enjoy coding in Java :)

This reminds me a lot of https://github.com/xiph/rnnoise and my use of it locally. It zeroes in on voice via RNN which seems to beat most other noise detection filters I've tried. Unfortunately, I mostly disable it these days since it's a bit harder to tune than I'm up for, but it's by far the most promising local noise reduction I've used.
It sounds a little high, but not massively so.

I couldn't find fuel weight in a BWR-3, but a RBMK reactor (Chernobyl) contains between 150 and 200 tons of Uranium.
Now, a RBMK runs natural uranium, so you're going to be using more fuel for the same power, but it suggests the number isn't totally whack.

I would not be surprised by it being a typo, but depending on what you include in "melted fuel" (fuel assembly, reactor parts, etc), 880 tons isn't outrageously high either.
I acknowledge that is your interpretation. Others have the interpretation that the support Israel has been given since Oct 7th falls far short of what would be appropriate in the circumstances.

Really nice project! Great care is taken in optimized audio feature extraction, very cool to see. I am working on a very similar project[1], using the Puya PY32. I opted for that chip over CH32 since it has DMA (simplifies efficient ADC input at audio rates), and 1 kB more RAM. For a couple of cents more.
I have written about some of the hardware constraints on low cost audio already, and am getting to the audio DSP/ML in the next months.

Sure. Hypothetically, I have checked them. I have checked what I’m actually using, but the compiler is still executing things I didn’t know about.

I only use CatUtils from org.catpache.commons. I’ve audited this single class that I use. I know it’s safe. It only contains a Map<String, String> of Latin cat names to their common English name, but what I didn’t know was the compiler magically running an annotation processor behind my back and it’s now modified all of my classes to throw MeowException whenever toString returns “dog”.
Thanks for this tool!

I also get the vibe from her that she believes those employees are dumb sheep who can't decide for themselves who their lead should be.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter how you define "MITM". HTTPS means that even if I control a network hop in between the two endpoints, I can't get the key. Provider B says "we are OK with any hop on your route gaining access to your keys" (e.g. via owning a wifi router and giving customers access, or via being a customer and sniffing other customer's traffic, or the industrial-level equivalents of this).
I believe everything she said about Sam. I don't doubt that he exaggerated how robust their safety processes were, or announced products without telling them first, or used company resources to benefit himself personally while denying he had a financial stake in the company.

I honestly believe that employees did talk about his toxic behavior, the role of a successful startup CEO can be achieved with surprisingly little people management skills.

But the board handled this horribly; it's unsurprising they lost the fight, and frankly, listening to her podcast, the main question I have is why she was on the board in the first place. The level of articulation, the weak framing of events, etc, are what I'd expect to hear out of a middle-level HR rep, not someone on the board of a billion+ dollar company.
> Also the error rate is about 5-10% according to this article. That's pretty bad!

Having 90-95% success rate on something that was previously impossible is acceptable. Without LLMs the success rate would be 0% for the things I'm doing.
I'll bet they achieve commercial success with the reverse application. Imagine being able to mute that one obnoxiously loud person with an annoying voice at a party!
No. No, you don't. No one investigating log files wants animations playing in them.
Humans probably have about the same error rate. It's easy to miss a comma or quote.

These systems compete with humans, not with formatters.
Past a certain point, money doesn't matter to people of principle.
In my opinion, using templates can help keep responses reliable. But it can also make interactions feel robotic, diminishing the "wow" factor of LLMs. There might be better options out there that we haven't found yet.

Well, it's just a declaration of what theft is, phrased as though I don't know what theft is. Which is wrong, and also doesn't seem relevant.
But dictators don't want electronic things – especially the one whose very design imply them being fully traceable such as ETH/BTC.

If you are in the circles where having to move $10M illegally is a common occurrence, paying a guy $10k to take a train between Russia and China with a bag of cash and bribe the border guards another $10k is much better than trying to weasel your way through the KYC process of Coinbase.

You somehow missed the whole point, which is that once retaliation was extremely likely these employees decided to not put themselves at risk.

This is how dictators get their 99% approval rating, and why democracies enshrine the right to vote in secrecy.

"This policy of implicitly running annotation processors by default may have been reasonable when the feature was introduced in JDK 6 circa 2006, but from
a current perspective, in the interest of making build output more
robust against annotation processors unintentionally being placed on the
class path, the policy should not be the default anymore."

This makes sense, especially in light of the growing number of supply chain attacks. However, given how many libraries a typical Java application has in the classpath, most of which are transitive dependencies of popular frameworks, I foresee many build jobs not producing working binaries anymore when JDK23 is adopted. Plus, I'd love to be proven wrong, but I could bet that most people will fix the issue by simply adding the "all-on" switch to the command line instead of carefully evaluating which annotation processors are really needed by their codebase. So I am afraid that in the long term this change will not improve security or reduce build times. Unless maybe JDK 23 comes with some tool to print a catalogue of the annotation processors found in the classpath, with their respective purpose and documentation, so that developers can make an educated guess about what they need or don't need.
Stop using it then.

Social media is not real human interaction nor how our brains have developed to engage in intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships.

Imagine a new born baby. how does it interact with the world?

The new born does not need or require social media to engage with the world, she has everything she needs even without a fully developed brain.

We are all babies and have everything we need to engage with our fellow human beings.

Social media is not a great tool.

It is a tool only in the phallic sense.

The US was rightly condemned for its invasion of Iraq, and more should have been done by the world’s nations to prevent it. We have that opportunity with China and Taiwan now, and letting it happen just because other major powers have done stuff too would be a mistake.

The USSR (and now Russia) and China have ‘disturbed’ just as many foreign nations as the US. Both have long pursued interventionist foreign policies, covertly and overtly supporting sub-national groups that worked in their interests. Even in the most recent years we have Russian intelligence causing a string of coups throughout Africa and funding and supporting disruptive extremist groups, and China has been caught spying on the African Union’s governance structures in order to influence continental policy and coerce leaders.

It’s less publicised and less visible because, unlike the US, neither Russia nor China have a free and unfettered press and civil society who can obtain and report on leaks and other embarrassing information.

It’s not enough that Myanmar was a democracy, because soon after winning elections that administration launched a genocidal campaign against the Rohingya. There’s also no strategic interest for the US there. As I said earlier, alliances happen when the two align.

The US’s strategic interest in that area is not to ‘fuck’ with China, but to preserve a rules-based order that’s open for international trade. If China is allowed to take over the entire South China Sea and other surrounding areas they can close it to any traffic whenever they want, they’ll be more easily able to take over Taiwan and maybe even countries like the Philippines, and there’ll be nothing stopping them from annexing more and more territory. We saw in the 1930s what allowing this sort of thing can lead to. I’d say it’s in all our interests, not just the US’s, that China not be allowed to simply annex more territory. I’d similarly be opposed to the US or any other country trying to annex territory by force.
Minor nitpick/clarification. As it stands this is doing detection of a fixed, small vocabulary of words - not open ended text to speech covering entire language. Also called speech command recognition / keyword spotting. Which is already impressive and useful. General STT on this grade hardware would be an amazing feat!

Ask HN: Hardware Platform for a Learning Device
Hi HN,

I have a project in my head for a device that's supposed to help young children learn (~2 years).

It needs a medium sized touch screen (large enough for children), speakers and must be rugged enough to survive rougher interactions with children. In addition to displaying simple graphics, I'd like to run Text-To-Speech directly on the device. WIFI is not required.

Do you have suggestions for feasible devices with reasonable prices? I'm open for everything, Android tablets, iPads, Industrial panel PCs, Raspberry PI stuff, chinese aliexpress devices etc.

What would you do?
1. Using memory is a relative deal, there are many websites from HN to IG you cant keep them all same or based on a similar pattern, and remembering password even after months is a mess.
2. Password manager is good but it won't do for old saved password, and what if many folks are facing the same problem?
3. Password is hashed but if owner is same can be shared right?
4. Browsers password storage again could be a good deal, can take a dump of all password and use it. But suggesting it even to 400 folks is a mess.
There's a few reasons I can think of.

First, R definitely needs at least two, one for functional OOP (Common Lisp style) and one for class-based OOP (Java style). The latter is _much_ less important for everyday R users but as a package author it's extremely helpful for modeling certain types of resources. (Interestingly, Python also ships with two: @singledispatch and classes; and multimethod/multidispatch also exist.)

Second, because R's basic language building blocks are so flexible, it's relatively easy to build new OOP systems, resulting in more diversity.

Third, I believe it's actually been close to thirty years since S4 was introduced, which was the last functional OOP system until S7. I don't think that's a terrible track record, compared to how much variety you see in equally fundamental systems in other language communities (just off the top of my head, Python: packaging standards, environment management, data frames; JavaScript: module systems, runtimes, package managers).
Fair enough, perhaps I'm bringing some biases into this since I think online discussion has a tendency to be very dismissive of less sensational or impactful topics. I really don't think you're defending the pricing strategy, trivialization of criticism isn't necessarily a defense of the object of criticism, although for how often the two are conflated I could see why you would think that is how your opinions are being seen.

I don't think households need to be spending 8% more of money they don't have (if we're considering rising household debt) when they go out shopping. The issue is probably more evocative than it logically should be for some people because of the aroma of deception around it. Making superficial changes to price to take advantage of human distortions in quantity to get them to spend more has at least a shade of deception to it (I don't say that as a valid argument, just hoping to lend some context for why people would get worked up over it).

If you don't think that's adequate to make it a 'problem'... well, fair enough, I'm not entirely convinced either. But I'm not seeing a very strong case being made for the contrary, besides 'other things are more important' and the interesting claim that consumers must not be impacted because they're still buying these products ("Of course they love their job, wouldn't they quit otherwise?")

Thank you for the thoughtful response.
> those employees are dumb sheep who can't decide for themselves

The point is that they are smart because they know not to put themselves at risk with actions that would not lead to get rid of a threat.

> (...) decide for themselves who their lead should be.

They didn't had a vote or a choice. People living under a dictatorship also don't decide who their leader is when the dictator prompts them to show their support.
These engineers on TikTok made a vest for the Eras tour with LED strips that flash in sync with the wrist bands.

Video below. Summary: they had a wrist band from a previous show, connected the terminals on its microchip to their own microcontroller, extracted signals from the wrist band man in the middle style, programmed the microcontroller to interpret the signal, lit up the vest.

I thought it was rather in the spirit of hacker news.

> [...] the standard way to get structured output seems to be to retry the query until the stochastic language model produces expected output.

No, that would be very inefficient. At each token generation step, the LLM provides a likelihood for all the defined token based on the past context. The structured output is defined by a grammar, which defines the legal tokens for the next step. You can then take the intersection of both (ignore any token not allowed by the grammar), and then select among the authorized token based on the LLM likelihood for them in the usual way. So it's a direct constraint, and it's efficient.
I didn't think of it like that. Of course the land would be irradiated. That's wasn't the point.

For websites with most traffic coming from tier 1 countries, there is a number of good ads network to monetize the traffic.

What is the best way to monetize traffic from LATAM? What is the best add network for that traffic?
Good point. Presented that way I am seeing more positives to their policies, in particular if a vulnerability was unearthed by the invalidation quirk it's a way better way to find out than any other way.
