Just clean wiped one of my Win11 PC for linux, so far everything looks good. The fan is not running in most of the time, and before that it was running like crazy.

My dream network is like reddit, but no upvotes, downvotes, mods. You ask a question and somebody answers it in a 1-on-1 chat. 1-on-1 human connection -- no pandering to the crowd. If you get along, then you can get added to a friend-list and then chat like on ICQ. Possibly it could prioritize people in your neighborhood, so maybe you can connect with someone nearby.

Personally, cars and the increase in street parking (reducing visibility) are the biggest factors in deterring me as a parent from having my kids roam the street with some level of freedom. When driving, I also see how many drivers beside me are looking at their phones.

I think back to my childhood and roaming the streets. There wasn't any formal community venue or organisation. No one then or now was going to church. No one was going to a community centre or youth drop-in facility. I don't remember parents coordinating much. We rode bikes on the street, kicked a football and walked to the school basketball court or ovals. Parents generally felt safer about their kids doing that, so it was trivial to walk out front and find another kid to socialise with.
> When one controls for background factors, such as parents’ income and indices of ability, it makes no difference what college a person attends. But that research has been ignored and the belief persists.

I personally think this is a bit of a stretch, a person from a middle to low-income background will certainly get a boost in their life if they get accepted somewhere prestigious like MIT, Harvard, Cambridge etc, heck even the relationships that you build in such places on their own could be worth it, they can prove very valuable.

I'm interested in seeing the research mentioned by the author about this.

Have in mind that instead of training a GPT-2 model from scratch, you can opt for fine-tuning. Fine-tuning allows you to take a pre-trained model and adapt it to your specific task with much less computational resources and time. It leverages the existing knowledge of the model, resulting in better performance and faster development cycles.
I truly do. Providing them opportunities and encouraging them to be their best version of themselves it's not contradicting happiness. Even adults need to be challenged to progress.

Like 10% of the music I listen to is a deliberate listening experience: I sit on the sofa and play something that I like.

The other 90%? Background music, e.g. for daily exercise, where I mostly want upbeat music that keeps me moving and sounds good.

For the 10% I prefer humans, for the 90%, if the AI music gets good enough, I'm afraid it will do the job just fine.
What makes you think only developers would use this or similar things?

Show HN: An X-like interface for LLM chat
Hi, this is Lapin - an X-like interface for LLM chat. X has a really great interface for going down rabbit holes and opening up different threads for discussion. So I thought "why not apply that for interacting with LLMs"?

Conversations with LLMs don't have to be so linear!

If you have something like 1Password, it takes one or two clicks to set up 2FA for a given site and Passkey setup for a given site is pretty painless. There’s even a decent amount of CLI integration for signing commits, etc. As a federal contractor working in and out of higher security areas, 2FA and Passkey are… really not intrusive or disruptive to my daily life.
I imagine that they do grow in size, though?

I'm having a hard time picturing a full set of my adult sized teeth fitting inside a newborn's skull with room for everything else.
> you have to excel at pretty much everything, to even have a chance

That can't possibly be true. By definition, only a small minority can excel, and as a practical matter, to excel at something requires specialization and focus. So to "excel at pretty much everything" is a practical impossibility. If anyone who didn't "excel at pretty much everything" had no chance, most people would be on the street. This idea that you must excel to have a chance is necessarily a myth. And it's a pernicious and dangerous myth. It's this myth that is driving young people to burn themselves out, not anything in actual reality.
even if we restructure everything to meet human basic needs, pricing will still be part of the equation. finite resources means value has to be attached to materials.
> Advertising isn't anti-privacy.

Advertising works much better when there is no privacy.
the problem with focusing on the audience is that we're in an age where people are already over-obsessed with reception, it's no accident that the title of this post starts with "Engage your audience..." and deals almost exclusively with structure and how to say things rather than substance. Much more interesting these days to look for people who write for themselves and take an audience as it comes rather than trying to optimize for engagement.
Just Russia?

Noam Chomsky had some financial money transfers and a series of meetings arranged by Jeffrey Epstein. At least one meeting with Ehud Barak (former PM of Israel). And he refused to explain himself.

This got quickly swept under the rug. But it's there even on mainstream media if you bother to search for it.
> I can hear a song that AI made and note that it sounds good (although this is rare currently). I have no interest in investing time into it though.

This argument makes sense to me for e.g. a novel, and is the reason why I wouldn't read an AI-written novel, all else being equal with human-written novels. But much of the music people consume is background music and requires no time investment at all.

For example, I play music while I exercise... give me a playlist that sounds good enough and it's upbeat enough, and it will be fine for the task.

>Instead we try hard to praise the effort, especially when our kids fail.

That type of advice depends on particular circumstances so you have to explain the different situations so kids are not confused by getting mixed messages.

(1) sometimes the effort is more important than the result. E.g. kids attempt to cook a meal for Mother's Day and they burn the food a bit. Or one is self-learning dancing or pottery and the results are not professional quality and it doesn't matter.

(2) but sometimes, the result is more important than the effort. The "real world" out there such as job performance reviews, college entrance SAT scores, etc cares about the results. If the judge finds the results unacceptable and the only comeback is "but I tried really really hard", it will be perceived as just making excuses.

Each situation above has also been misapplied. The infamous "Tiger Mom" focused too much on (2) and criticized her daughter for a amateur hand-drawn Mother's Day card and told her to do it again. Likewise, employees are sometimes blindsided and shocked for being fired for "underperformance" because they misapply (1) to the employer/employee relationship.

Apple is tinker-hostile, but they’re great at getting-things-done for the majority of people. It’s frustrating when you have the knowledge to build custom workflows, but the happy path and the guardrails work great for many.

Sweet! I built a little plug-and-play digital MIDI controller and published it with the Salamander Grand Piano samples, so I could use any smart phone to have MIDI playback. I had always planned on grabbing more samples but I did everything from "scratch" (webaudio, but no audio lib), so I was just taking shots in the dark about what downsampling I could do while retaining quality (you can see, on the website, I missed the mark; the samples are degraded: [0]).

Hopefully, I can use these free sound fonts - at the very least - as a basis for sound sample quality. But it looks like I could probably just add sf2 and sfz support to my controller, which would open up all of these instruments for me. That's a pretty exciting goal!

Thanks for sharing!

In my opinion (which might be wrong) your duty as a parent is to equip your kid with the tools it needs to be able to face the challenges life throws at him/her.

What would make your kid _happy_ would be to play all day and do nothing about their future (I'm yet to see a kid who would rather study than play).

Wanting your kid to be _happy_ means you need to prepare him/her to be _successful_ (aka to be able to face the challenges life throws at him/her) which might not be _fun_ in the short term. As the OP mentions, striking a balance is a tricky part.
Email and even SMS still do work great tho.
> Battery performance that 'lies' to you intentionally, planned obsolescence ...

Everything is relative. Apple generally supports their devices with OS updates for longer than most Android phone makers. Their incentives here are well aligned: they get a decent profit from Apple Store no matter how long you use their phone.

I think a lot of the reporting on Apples actions is very click-baity and lack nuance. Take the case when Apple throttled CPU performance of their phones when the battery got old and degraded. It was reported as a case of planned obsolescence, but it was in fact the exact opposite: by limiting the power consumption of the CPU they avoided unexpected phone shutdown due to battery voltage going too low during bursts of high power consumption. A phone that randomly shuts down is borderline use-less. A phone that is slower can at least be used for a while longer. Apple didn't have to do this. They would have spent less R&D money, and had a much lower chance of bad PR backlash, if they just simply did nothing. Yet they did something to keep old phones useful for longer.

> locked in ecosystems

That's a fine balance. Creating a good ecosystem is part of what makes Apple so user friendly. And it's a lot harder to create open ecosystems than having closed ones. Especially when you factor in security and reliability. If Apple diverted resources to making their ecosystems more open I think their ecosystem integration would have been significantly worse, which would have made them lose the thing most users considers Apples primary advantage.

Apple is a mixed bag. They were one of the first to go all-in on USB-C. Sometimes they push aggressively for new open standards that improve user experience. Yet they held on to Lightning for far too long on their phones. But here you get back to the planned obsolescence factor: there's a HUGE amount of perfectly fine Lightning accessories out there that people/companies are using with iPhones. If they killed Lightning too fast I can guarantee you they would have gotten a lot of hate from people who couldn't use their Lightning accessory anymore. With laptops that wasn't a big issue. Adapters are significantly less convenient to use with phone accessories.

One of the biggest struggles with high achievement comes from having to choose which activities to be an achiever. Sometimes you have to explicitly decide which activities to exclude. You have to learn how to be okay with not being the best at everything. You have to be tactical. Otherwise, you end up chasing your tail and get easily lost in details.

There's lots of talk about grid-scale batteries to shift cheap electricity from solar panels into the night time. But batteries at the periphery can also help a lot because they can just stop charging (like the example in this article) or even feed energy back into the grid. Electric cars mostly don't have the circuitry to do this yet, but they're becoming a huge resource that will be tappable this way. Most of them are massively over-provisioned for the way that they're used 350 days out of the year.
This is an impossible dream. Facebook has existed and the arrow of time goes only one way; there is no longer any possibility of a "pre-Facebook era," because that era has come and gone. What we would see instead would be a post-Facebook era, wherein we would still have to reckon with the social damage it and its ilk have inflicted on a fairly significant fraction of the species.

It isn't a new sort of error, if that's any consolation, being in the limit no younger than the story of the Garden of Eden. But while studying the past can prove valuable in approaching the future, hoping to return to it never does.
>I know that in the US the default is you can turn.

Here's a little mind twister:

In the US there are Right Arrow signals. A Red signal indicates you can turn right if it's safe just like ordinary Red signals. A Green signal indicates you can turn right, obviously.

Wait, what?

You see, this Right Arrow signal exists alongside ordinary signals at an intersection. Specifically when the ordinary signals are Green (so you can go straight ahead or turn as appropriate) but the Right Arrow signal is Red, you cannot turn right. Usually this is because someone is crossing the intersection and you would risk running them over.

This specific arrangement is very rare.
Demand management is fantastic, batteries are just amazing and can sink power, provide power, manage reactive power and frequency and do it in milliseconds.

Where I grew up in Australia, I don't remember anyone besides ethnic grandparents going to church (then or now). It just wasn't any sort of factor in the decline of free play for kids.

In more religious countries, are the religious conservatives the ones that are freely roaming streets and socialising more than their peers in a "play-based childhood"?

The obvious changes to me, as a parent now, and someone who still visits the street they grew up on in the 80s, relate to cars.

Snake handlers shouldn't be afraid of cobras though. It's still a risk of course but it's not dangerous in the sense that it's dangerous for a normal person because of their education and experience. They've done the exposure therapy.

Value and price are not the same thing. Money is a form of access control which limits the availability of scarce resources to those people and organisations which have enough funds. It also collapses the value of all things to a single dimension. There are other ways to decide how much of something is produced and how it is distributed, for example participatory economics.
> it's truly surreal to hear people say this with their entire chest when the mountains of first-hand evidence proves otherwise.

Evidence from the post you are replying to, but did not address:

>> Gaza is not under threat from Israel, who pulled out in 2005, and gave Gazans a 250-300M flower export business. You can confirm this from any source you like.

Additionally, there should be no need to state that Hamas (which is widely supported in Gaza) attacked Israel and started this current war. Ie, Israel is under threat from Gaza.

The death ratio of civilian to combatant casualties from this war is 1:1 which is the lowest in any recent war, much to the credit of the IDF.

To entertain genocide conspiracy theories, those numbers, as well as Gaza population growth, would have to be very different for one thing.

> Function signatures are for HUMANS to read

Nope, exactly the other way around. Function signatures are to help machines optimize your code. What humans should care about are names. It's just that we've normalized an extremely misguided practice of abusing type systems as a crutch for non-descriptive variable and function names.

There’s not really any transparent secure system that competes with Apple.
Yes, that is exactly my point. Apple hardware users don't have root privileges on those devices; ergo, they do not own them.
Also, the field-of-view is too limited. And the problem with focus: nearby objects will make your eyes focus the same as far-away objects; this feels unnatural and trains your eyes to be lazy.

I believe that the Chinese-made EVs most imported in the EU are currently Teslas.

But reading the article, the tariffs will not really target Chinese-made EVs in general but specific brands, which I highly suspect, will not include European manufacturers with factories in China (Some BMW EVs are made in China) or Tesla.

To me this undermines the narrative a bit...

Ultimately I think the key is that European manufacturers have dropped the ball on EVs.
“ According to numbers provided by the company, 590 Gogoro battery-swap locations (some of which have more than one swap station) stopped drawing electricity from the grid, lowering local demand by a total six megawatts—enough to power thousands of homes.”

From the title I thought the batteries would stabilize the grid by discharging back into it but apparently that capability is not implemented yet. Still interesting that the stations increase demand enough that grid stabilization can occur by simply disabling battery charging.

Hey HN! I've worked in infosec for over 10 years and one of the things that has been most apparent to me, is that we rely heavily on the community for building tools and sharing knowledge.

With every new tool I find, I feel like I am collecting another Pokémon card to use in my next battle. With every new blog, video or podcast, I feel more knowledgeable.

These things allow us those who work in infosec to continue doing our job to a high standard.

The problem I had was finding the latest tools and content.

You don’t need any key for GSM, since the network/base station only started authenticating itself to the phone/SIM with 3G.

That’s why it would be good to shut down GSM at some point: It would raise the difficulty of such attacks significantly.

What I don’t understand is how they managed to actually intercept any SMS with an IMSI catcher. They’d need to get the network to send these through their infrastructure, so I wonder how that worked?

Update: Ah, they were just sending out texts themselves, not intercepting anything.

He describes it as a "principled, internationalist, anti-imperialist left response" and that seems like a fair assessment from what I'm reading.

It's also a complete mindfuck of a piece, with obvious cognitive distortions and major factual evasions flying from every paragraph.

But because it's expressed in that calm, authoritative, rational (sounding) voice -- and it's coming from Saint Chomsky after all -- "principled, internationalist" lefties eat it up like candy.

I admire Chomsky for other things he's done. But he's got a split personality also, and in some cases his "morals" are very deeply flawed.
