It's stupidly irresponsible to encourage people to forage Japanese Knotweed in countries where it is a major threat to existing ecosystems. Even small fragments on shoes or in water can cause outbreaks. That's why dealing with contaminated soil is extremely expensive.

No it's not. Private property created a world where 8 persons control as much wealth as the poorest half of humanity. This is not common prosperity, this is exploitation.

If we want to do away with the godly rights of property owners and let people keep whatever they can take and defend, I am deeply in support of this plan, but I can't imagine it shakes out how the squatters like to think it would.

We'd just be taking the scenic route to roughly what we have, except I'm short a bunch of ammo.
To say there's a deficit in research spending pre-supposes there's a correct absolute level of resource allocation that is easily discoverable. But the reason we need markets in the first place is that governments aren't able to discover the right levels of resource allocation on their own. That's why the USSR ended up with lots of steel foundries but no software companies, nor even any competitor to the internet.

If anything research is clearly over-funded right now, especially in some fields like medical research. That's why so many scientists turn to fraud in desperation. There just aren't enough genuine discoveries to go round.

> encouraging replication, self directed research and significantly more 'pure' 'blue sky' research

Replication is the opposite of self directed blue sky research, so how do you suggest it be encouraged whilst simultaneously reducing the power of the money givers even further? BTW, many bogus papers will replicate whilst still being wrong. Replicability is not a synonym for good science.

Really, this is a very common claim that needs to go away. The solution to fraud and incompetence is not to give incompetent fraudsters even more freedom and money.
Having a right to housing is not the same as having the right to "living where you want".

If they actually had that right then a Spaniard would have the right to live in the king's and politicians' houses which is obviously not a right.
> Good subtitles are more akin to interpretation than translation. You have less space to fit, timing is important, you need to translate idioms, etc.

Timing particularly! You'll often get a mystery where the detective says "And the killer is … [long, dramatic pause to survey the room] … the butler!", but the subtitles, displayed at the beginning of the sentence, just say "And the killer is the butler!"
I'm sorry, but this is absolutely scientific research. There is no amount of gaslighting or reframing which will deny it that status. The source of funding is irrelevant. Most scientific research is funded with the hopes of seeing a return of investment.

You simply don't know what you're talking about. Your overly cynical take is against Hacker News guidelines.

Unless you are shaving pennies for mass production, I'd stay away from any of the Tensilica LX6 LX7 based ESP32 parts. Toolchain and library support will be much better with the RISC-V based parts.

> While middle class people are more likely to pay for things that need skilled repair (due to knowing fewer people who can do such work informally), they're not paying for things they can do themselves like housecleaning, landscaping, etc

It's not that they're paying for all of them, but that they have the option of paying for them and I would hazard that a good portion of middle class families with both parents fully employed opt for offloading at least some of that some of the time if they live in a portion of the country where middle class means you actually have disposable income. E.g. many people pay for larger landscaping projects, or hire a handyman to do cleanup around the outside of the house or even might have a maid come in once a month. This might be less common now that the middle class has eroded to some degree, but I think that's a problem of a shrinking middle class, not of those being things the middle class doesn't do.

> And apart from some relatively affordable table stakes, I don't think the financial cost is really one of those.

I'm not sure I agree with that. Having spare hardware to run something, a stable place to put it, and paying the power for it (a minor but increasing cost) all play a part.

> The attention cost of self-actualizing and the ambiguity of using a non-advertised solution are though.

I agree, and I think the working poor have less attention to spare because of less free time, but also that they generally have more and larger worries that make this problem seem insignificant by comparison. If your major worried are making rent, having enough money for food, repairing your car so you can effectively get to work and take kids to school, spend quality time with your family, and set up a solution so that your privacy is protected from companies that want to monetize you, which one will get the least attention? Middle class families probably have at least one less of those concerns, and every major concern that's more important than using free software to avoid a small but persistent exploitation is something that competes for attention.

Alright thanks for the feedback on the yubikey. I assumed that yubikeys would be found pretty much only in enterprise environments but perhaps I was wrong there.

Maybe I can find a solution to that. The free plan restrictions are not perfect yet and I was planning to experiment with different solutions to it.

I think the replies saying how terrible this is are missing it. The Linux community is a high-trust community and has continuously earned that trust over and over again. The times when it's been broken are so few it's newsworthy each time it happens.

Anyone who's like "well I don't copy/paste shell code into my terminal" is just virtue signaling. I'm willing to bet their editor Vim/Emacs/VSCode is overflowing with plug-ins and code written by just some guy on Github. I bet they've ran containers that are written by just some guy too.

It's a really cool feature that you can just download a random binary off Github, run it, and not really have to worry about it.

1. You do not need 2 databases if you are only looking to export the traces to your grafana stack. If you are using prometheus as the TSDB, you can directly send the traces there without needing any of the databases to be setup locally.

2. Also, you do not need the API key. You only need to install the python or typescript sdk and use the custom exporter option - https://github.com/Scale3-Labs/langtrace-python-sdk?tab=read... .
If you already have a OTEL exporter running, you don't need even that. Just initialize the sdk after installing and it will do its thing.

I'm not too familiar with EU law, but I think Article 9 of the GDPR [1] would allow for moderation of public posts, at the very least. Here's Article 9 Paragraph 1:

Moderating posts and accounts doesn't require uniquely identifying who uses the accounts. And here's Paragraph 2 Section (e):

Under the right thumb there are four buttons, one is the space key (shift, alt, space, ctrl).

When I got this keyboard I transitioned from a standard (non ergo) layout, and thought the thumb clusters would take getting used to. They felt surprisingly natural.

I found the ortholinear layout harder to get used to (the straight vertical rows the keys are laid in). For a long time when I wanted a `c` I got an `x`.
IMO the blame of such maneuvering is on the speeders, even if non-speeders are in the minority.
Ramsar, Iran has similar levels of background radiation as being on the surface of Mars. And people live completely healthy long lives there. Chronic low-level radiation isn't nearly as bad as we once thought. It's acute high-level doses or consuming radioactive substances that you really need to worry about. Mars really won't be bad at all with some easily implemented mitigation measures.

While I agree with you that living within your means is best, it definitely won’t help build your credit score. From my experience, if you don’t use a credit card, you won’t have a good score. If you use it and pay it off quickly, you’ll see barely any positive score gains. Then, I used a service to build my score, and it worked, but slowly over the months. However, what really increased my score substantially was actually being in debt. So, I kept the debt and paid the monthly amount on it. Surprisingly, even missing a payment still increased my score. The conclusion: they want you to be in perpetual debt aka debt slave to have good boy points.

the RP2040 can be overclocked like crazy, has dual cores, a considerable amount of ram and the amazing PIO devices which allow the RP2040 to bitbang DVI. The PIOs are amazing.

An ideal board would have an RP2040 as the USB terminator (where it can be a usb mass storage device for dragging and dropping firmware) and the ESP32 can handle the radio.

ESP32 is on the order of 1.05-2$ each and the RP2040 is 0.70
OK, that tells me that the Tesla seems better than the Mercedes.

It does NOT tell me that either have achieved anything near the stated standard: "for practical purposes it is self-driving."

I don't think anyone promotes (or any reasonable person understands) L2 as self driving. SAE defines L2 assist [0] as "You ARE driving... you must constantly supervise and support these features ... lane centering and adaptive cruise control at the same time".

"Self driving" implies to me and everyone I know as "the car drives itself". As in I can safely sleep in the back seat as if another human were driving, or I could ask the car to come or go to a destination, as I could ask another human to drive my car to/from a destination.

Can you provide an example of ANY car doing this yet?

I had almost half an acre of this crap on my property, and still have about a quarter of an acre after thoroughly removing one big patch. There is nothing good about Japanese knotweed in the US, and everyone who forages it is part of the problem. It evolved on the sides of volcanoes, so if you cut anything off of it (or burn it), it triggers a chemical signal that encourages virulent growth from the attached rhizome. By cutting down small amounts of it, you are actually propagating it. That is the furthest thing from "environmental stewardship."
Classic example of Worse is Better.

The really challenge I've had with "progress" as a goal is that it so frequently is missing the context of what we're trying to progress towards.

The idea seems to be that starting with what we have today and taking another step forward is always the right move. Never go backwards, and its okay if we don't define our goals beforehand as long as we keep moving our feet.

There is no scenario where climate change causes an apocalypse quickly enough to get you out of your job.

There are also unrelated websites that tell you the "meaning" of songs based on surface-level readings from a LLM https://oldtimemusic.com/w3/the-meaning-behind-the-song-its-...

It even pretends to be a person, with statements like "Personally, this song resonates with me on multiple levels. The story within the lyrics reminds me of the value of genuine connections and the joy of reuniting with loved ones!"
all forms of happiness or disappointment ultimately boil down to a decision that's made somewhere in your brain: this is bad. this is good. it is entirely within your means to decide for yourself, no matter your circumstances or the vagueries of happenstance.

If you want to do slow star-trek style landings, you need star-trek level tech. Namely, propulsion tech that doesn't exist.

That doesn't mean that it's impossible, just means that it'd require things that don't exist yet.

Worth mentioning that, additionally, reentry heating isn't a huge problem, and you're not going to create new propulsion tech to counter it, you're just going to make better heat tiles. What you need new propulsion tech for is doing expanse type stuff, where you can accelerate for months at 1G so you essentially have artificial gravity and can get places extremely fast. If you're into sci-fi, the show/books "The Expanse" goes into what that looks like in practice fairly well.

To me that is a very different experience from actual 'fun' MCU programming. I do not know if the ATMega community is so keen to program python.

Nothing against esp32 and python...

I find it interesting that many permaculturists would include "invasive" species in their designs. (What makes something invasive has more to do with few, if any, ecological links to other species within the area). Anything from horseradish, asparagus, to autumn olives, sea buckthorne, jujube.

There's a particular case of the Tree of Heaven, an aggressive tree species that can live on land polluted by copper tailings. They get everywhere, grow back more prolific if you tried pulling them, and do not have a pleasant odor. The mayor of Jerome, AZ seeded them to help stop erosion in Jerome. And it worked.

Even running bamboo can be managed -- the key is to consistently harvest the edible sprouts.

This demonstrates the power of regeneration in living systems, be they ecologies or individual plants. It's aligning this regenerative power with the interests of human civilization that can restore wastelands, reverse desertification, while yielding something useful for humans.
